oona complements their management team with two strong women

If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. And this is exactly what oona has encouraged their team to do. During the last couple of years, Shanice Engel (°1993) and Karen Moreaux (°1989) have built the foundation of their respective studios, which have evolved to be key business drivers of the agency. As associate partners, they complement the expertise of the management team with their in-depth knowledge of how millennials and Gen Z consume media. 

Started as a boutique agency, oona is now a full-service content agency with offices in Antwerp, Ghent, and Amsterdam employing a team of +50 digital natives. Since 2003, oona has been continuously evolving to keep delivering value to its clients. And an intergenerational management team is now part of how oona stays ahead of the curve. 

Werner De Smet, CEO: "With Shanice and Karen, we are promoting two complementary profiles that have proven to be very strong strategically, operationally and relationally. They are both heavyweights in their field, and also have a solid dose of leadership and business development skills. They're the perfect candidates to help shape the future of our agency."
Shanice Engel: "Internationally, influencer marketing is a multibillion-euro business with an exceptionally high and measurable conversion rate. Therefore, it is at the top of my agenda to keep pushing influencer marketing in the Benelux to the heart of the story. ​ ​ And this through thorough data analysis and meaningful collabs with a mix of multinationals and up-and-coming local brands. 
Karen Moreaux: "Over the past three years, I have developed the entertainment studio as a key business driver within oona. What motivates me is to start from a strong story, connect with the right communities, and generate impact across all channels".

About oona.agency

oona is a community-first communications agency, adopting a radically different approach towards storytelling. Rather than targeting communities from the outside, we connect and create with them from the inside. We know who to listen to, where to be, which stories to tell and how to behave, specific to each community. That’s how we turn a brand into a hero within their communities. 

Based in Belgium and the Netherlands, we are a Benelux partner with a global mindset. We partner with local champions to expand their business in the Benelux and across Europe, and help global companies become local heroes. 

For almost 20 years, we have been thought leaders in the Benelux, embracing technology to drive community engagement and impact measurement. Driving our growth and expertise are brands such as Levi's®, Remy-Cointreau, L’Oréal, Gucci, Monki, On-Running, IKEA, Zalando, Auping, Fritz Hansen, Samsung, Swiss Cheese, Kobo, Pepsico, Telenet, Niko, Tadaam and many others.
