Monday's Generation WOW conference was absolutely incredible! Partnering with such a remarkable platform that highlights the strength and creativity of women in business was a true privilege. Special shoutout to Angelique Foré & Barbara De Beir and their fantastic team! 🌟 💋 The wisdom and stories shared by the amazing speakers, including Randi Zuckerberg, Karen de Sousa Pesse (She/Her), Julie Brown, Ish Ait Hamou, Carole Lamarque, and Rika Ponnet, were incredibly inspiring. Check out some of our highlights below! 👇 👀 Seeing our Networking App, which we designed just to enhance how women connect and network, in full action, was so rewarding! At Bits of Love, we get that women network differently, and most existing products just don’t cut it. That’s why our managing partner, Jessica, led the creation of this app for Generation WOW to fill these gaps. It included the event program, guestlist, news updates, and a special Network Corner. Attendees could scan personal QR codes to connect for future networking and engage in hand-curated groups with Elsje Borms - Momdernemer 📱✨ The energy, the stories, and the connections we made at the event are still buzzing in our minds—huge thanks to everyone who made this event so memorable. We can't wait for the next one! 💗 #BetterTogether Mattie Crombez Sofie De Grande Ellen Sierens Natalia E. Salgado

On Thursday, the prestigious Belfius Press Awards took place, shining a spotlight on outstanding journalistic and photographic talent. Among the exceptional works, Stephanie De Smedt and Thomas Roelens from De Tijd won the Belfius Press Award in the “Digital & Interactive” category for their project, “Mastermind”. 🏆 The project aimed to make long-read content more manageable and increase reader engagement. We worked together to transform the provided content into a powerful piece of information design. 🧠 The jury stated, “This contribution stands out for its originality, format, and visualization, putting the reader in control. The journalists present the theme — how we come up with new ideas — in a very engaging and interactive way.” 🙌   This project was a challenge we embraced wholeheartedly, so we are very proud of Thomas, Stephanie, and their team for redeeming this recognition. The award is a testament to the hard work and innovation poured into this project! 🖤 Read the case : https://lnkd.in/eaCbEWGz Stephanie De Smedt Thomas Roelens Anja Otte Filip Ysenbaert

Deze case voelt een beetje persoonlijk ❤️  Het is niet eenvoudig om complexe inhoud visueel en interactief uit te werken. Laat staan om iedereen te overtuigen van het belang en de impact. Als je dat kan doen voor kinderen, en dan nog rond statistiek 📊 .. Heel erg blij met dit juweeltje van het Bits of Love team!

🚀 Big News from Bits of Love! Last week, we proudly launched the new Statbel Junior, an innovative project by Statbel (Statistics Belgium) aimed at teaching young folks the basics of statistics using real-world data from their very own municipalities. 🧩 The challenge was real: how do you translate complex statistical concepts into engaging, interactive visuals for young learners? How do you build a robust CMS to handle updates and manage the vast data from all municipalities in Belgium? Our answer was a blend of innovative information design, a heavy-duty data infrastructure, quizzes, and fun avatars to bring the statistics world to life. 👏 A huge thank you to Statbel (Statistics Belgium) for believing in our vision and craftsmanship and their invaluable collaboration and support. A special mention to Nicky Rutten for laying out the basics already several years ago :) Together, we've created an educational platform that simplifies and excites! 🌟 Calling All Organizations! Are you looking to develop a digital product combining information design and UX expertise to educate and engage your audience? In that case, we'd love to hear from you. Let's make education exciting together!

💬 📢 Hoe geven we jongeren de kans om deel te nemen aan het maatschappelijke debat en mee te bepalen over de dingen die invloed hebben in hun leven? 📆 Op donderdag 8/02 is er de wetenschapsbar bij VIVES Research (University of Applied Sciences) met een focus op jongerenparticipatie op allerlei mogelijke manieren. 🎤 Zelf mag ik iets vertellen over de rol van Bits of Love bij het project Bruggebaas. Via een gamified survey bevragen we kinderen en jongeren over hoe zij hun stad ervaren en wat zij zouden veranderen. Voor wie benieuwd is hoe we dit concreet aangepakt hebben, kom zeker langs! https://lnkd.in/eSqSBsX2 Jesse Vrielynck Manon Defoer Merlijn Morisse Hermelinde Hooft Evelien De Pauw Hannes Vanmeenen Helena Calleeuw
