These Days further strengthens its creative ranks.

In March of last year, Pieter Staes and Manuel Ostyn stepped over from Mortierbrigade to These Days. In a short period of time, the duo has already proved that they’re not only strong conceptual thinkers, but also inspiring coaches for some younger teams, resulting in impressive work for clients like Telenet and Child Focus.

That’s why, with an eye on ambitions for 2016, they’ve both been promoted as of this year to Creative Directors. Together with ECD Sam De Volder and the new Design Director Max Heirbaut, they form the daily creative direction of the agency.

"In These Days we associate good creative staff with a strong technology department. It’s the only way to deliver startling and relevant communications” say Peter and Manuel.

"As a new generation of CDs, they will also be co-responsible for the further development of the creative department because talent scouting is also one of their priorities." adds Werner Van Reck (CCO).
