Umbau recognized as promising agency in the Belgian communication sector
Sometimes it’s okay to set humility aside — because this recognition reflects an enormous amount of hard work. Our entire team gave it their all, and being rewarded for that effort feels incredible — to put it mildly. 👏🏻
Umbau has been recognized by the jury of the 2025 Agency of the Year Awards as one of Belgium’s most promising communication agencies. It’s an achievement we’re proud of — not just because we stood out among industry giants, but because it validates our mission: transforming complex communication into clarity and impact. The silver award in the ‘Newcomer of the Year’ category underlines the meaningful growth we’ve achieved in a short period.
As a younger agency among well-established names, Umbau caught the jury’s attention — not by shouting the loudest, but through simplicity, clarity, and a willingness to challenge where needed. This recognition affirms that we’re not only growing fast, but doing so with substance and a long-term vision.
A milestone that means more than a trophy
This award is more than a symbol — it’s a recognition of our vision, our people, and the work we deliver every day with heart and purpose.
Since our founding in 2023, we’ve helped businesses communicate clearly in complex contexts — with strategies that work and campaigns that make a difference.
“In less than two years, we’ve grown Umbau into an agency with a clear direction and a strong client base,” says managing partner Bert Heyens.
“Being recognized by the industry is incredible, but even more — it motivates us to keep building.”
Thank you to everyone who builds with us
Of course, we didn’t do this alone. That’s why we want to extend a huge thank you to our clients, partners, and everyone helping build Umbau. Your trust, collaboration and creativity make this journey worth it.
“This recognition belongs to the entire team. Their energy, sharpness and dedication are the true engine of Umbau,” adds Bert.
We’re also grateful to MM – Marcom World & PitchPoint, and to the jury that valued our approach. Thank you for recognizing our simplicity, clarity and strategic thinking.
Building what matters
This recognition fuels our ambition to grow — not in volume, but in relevance.
“We welcome organizations ready to communicate with clarity — whether it’s in a niche market or for a socially relevant cause.”
We’ll continue building what matters: smart strategies, clear messaging, and creative campaigns that work. For companies and organizations ready to make a difference — with a partner who stands beside them.
