BLOWING MINDS SINCE 1997
WELCOME LIFE HAS A WAY... Running events is basically made up of two elements: production and communication. Since 1997 I have built up experience in both. From 1997 to 2003 I ran large sandsculpture events in Zeebrugge (Belgium)and Hardelot (France). From 2004 to 2006 I was responsible for the cultural communication for the city of Kortrijk. From 2007 to 2013 I ran marketing, communications and programming for Kursaal Oostende. The Flemish Primitives was also added to the list of wonderful projects I had the opportunity to work on. “When running a campaign we focus on the project, not on ourselves. We listen. We care. We engage. We respect.�
WE WANT TO BLOW YOUR MIND
WELCOME THIS IS THE WAY WE WORK IT We don’t just run your event or campaign, we make it stand out by adding a touch of rock ‘n’ roll to it. We don’t have fixed relationships with one or two suppliers or designers, we work with the right partner(s) for each project. Only the best will do. Each designer and each supplier has a style of his or her own and we make sure that your project gets exactly what it needs. The internet has given our address book international proportions and broadened our design horizons. We love this way of working and are convinced that it helps to assure the quality of the work we deliver.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN

THE CHAPEL OF AWESOMENESS
At the end of 2012 we started working on a project that is one very dear to us. The Chapel of Awesomeness. Physically, the chapel is the last remaining part of the former school for children of bargees. It was built in 1924-1926 and was run until its closing at the end the 80’s by the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor. We turned it into an art / office / meeting / concert space. Each month we offer our walls to one or more photographers. We are guided by our passion for beauty and photography and we work both with local, national and international artists that work in a multitude of styles an with all possible techniques. The photos then become the setting for other things and this way The Chapel of Awesomeness becomes a project that combines the idea of a traditional art gallery with that of an event space that also supports innovative artistic and business projects.

WELKOM Een paar jaar geleden ontdekte ik het Holstee Manifesto en ongeveer op het zelfde moment zag ik de presentatie Why Happiness is the New Productivity van Vishen Lakhiani over zijn visie op het runnen van een bedrijf. De combinatie van beide zaken is de basis geworden voor Shakalaka! Dit weerspiegelt zich in hoe, met wie en voor wie we werken. De zin die je in al onze fotografie-catazines terugvindt is niet zomaar een opsomming van woorden: “I don’t believe in representing artists. I believe artists should represent themselves. But if I can help, advise or support an artist I believe in, I will not hesitate.” Combineer die zin met onze missie en je weet waar Shakalaka! voor staat. Onze service moet 5 sterren waard zijn, net als onze projecten en onze klanten.
WE TAKE A DIFFERENT LOOK

BIENVENUE Il y a quelques années, j’ai découvert le Holstee Manifesto et à peu près au même moment j’ai vu la présentation Why Happiness is the New Productivity de Vishen Lakhiani décrivant sa vision en matière de gestion d’une entreprise. La combinaison des deux éléments est devenue la base de Shakalaka! Ceci est reflété par notre façon de travailler, par les personnes avec et pour qui nous travaillons. La phrase que l’on retrouve dans tous nos catazines photographiques n’est pas qu’une simple énumération de mots: « I don’t believe in representing artists. I believe artists should represent themselves. But if I can help, advise or support an artist I believe in, I will not hesitate. » Combinez cette phrase avec notre mission et vous connaissez la signification de Shakalaka!. Notre prestation de services doit être du 5 étoiles, tout comme nos projets et nos clients.
WE SHARE WE GIVE IT ALL WE’VE GOT
