Last week, we hosted De Grote Speelgoedjury - Le Grand Vote des Jouets for Amazon 🎁✨ A fun-packed magical toy paradise 🧸🎨 where we welcomed over 200 enthusiastic children who tested and reviewed 100 of the top toys and games available on Amazon.com.be From adventurous play corners 🏰 to creative challenges 🎨, the kids had all day to discover and share which toys captivated them. The jury’s results have now been presented to media as a curated selection of this year’s best toys. Handpicked by the children, approved by parents and just in time for this year’s start of the festive season! We hope this makes gift shopping easier this year. 🛍️✨ Thanks to SOMA for the great venue and Fast Forward Events for the production support, and all the families who brought so much joy to the event! 💖😊

October’s gone already and it’s been a bustling month at Walkie Talkie, so thought to share a quick glimpse of all the media action for some fantastic clients. 😮💨 Can’t wait to see what November brings! 💪🏼

Did we mention we are #hiring? 👋🏼

Last week we set off to Zeeland for our annual team trip. Thanks Alexis Bracke 📸 for capturing some moments! And for the observant ones: there's a little sneak peek of our future office space, the final stop of our offsite 🏢✨

It’s been a busy few weeks at Walkie Talkie and wanted to share some recent media coverage highlights from our amazing clients: Ray Care 🧴🌱opened their fourth store in the historic heart of Bruges! This also gave us the perfect opportunity to provide (business) media with a deeper dive into their thoughtfully crafted product line. BOSS paints 🎨🏠 & colora ’s "Restoring Life" collection is all about soft pink, a versatile and calming trend color we can’t get enough of Specter bikes 🚴♂️✨, the Belgian speed pedelec start-up, reached a major milestone, raising €2 million in new capital. This will fuel their international growth and the development of new models, further advancing their mission to create innovative, high-quality electric bikes. Deliveroo 🤝🐶 now also helps pet owners as they delivers pet food through an exclusive partnership with Tom&Co. PANOS 🥪✨ reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Enchante vzw's "Goed Begonnen" campaign, which promotes nutritious school meals. A portion of profits from their Qubo bread supports this important initiative. Fruitz 🍑🍒 kept us all up to date with the latest dating trends—now we’re all in the know about "cushioning," "flexting," and the mysterious "Zootie calls!" And that's just a taste of what we've been up to 😮💨 Looking forward to what next month brings 💪🏼

Welcoming Nathan and Pauline to the Walkie Talkie squad 👋🏼 After his internship, Nathan decided to stick around, while Pauline recently joined us earlier this month 🤩 Looking forward to all the great things ahead with both of you on board ☺️
