Wrapping up: 2024 over!

As we wrap up 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on a year filled with incredible achievements, transformative ideas, and moments that remind us why we love what we do at WeAreBrain. 

This year has been nothing short of exciting, so let’s dive into some of the highlights that made 2024 a year to remember.

Awards and recognitions

It is always a huge honour to be recognised by our peers and inspirations in the industry. We are very proud of our Brainiacs who continue to go above and beyond to make the work we do stand out. Thanks to this, we catched some eyeballs in 2024:

  • Emerce 100

We made it into the EMERCE 100 Best Companies (Digital agency full-service – Midsize) list for the fourth year in a row! We achieved 6th place this year, up from 21st in 2023! 

  • Website van het Jaar (Praxis)

The Praxis app won Most Popular App of the Year in the E-Commerce & Retail category at Website van het Jaar! This event was organised by Emerce and Multiscope, with the app competing against some of the most well-known and loved consumer apps in the Netherlands. A huge win for our client, and only possible because of the excellent work from our Praxis team! 

  • Dutch Interactive Awards

The Praxis Sustainability tool was nominated at the DIA 2024. Big thank you to the Praxis team for their incredible work, this nomination was a testament to their dedication to this project.

  • DigitalAgency100

Our CEO Elvire Jaspers was listed in the DigitalAgency100 list (by M100) for the first time, taking the #44 spot. This list recognises leaders who contribute to the development of the Dutch digital agency industry. Congrats Elvire!

Spotlight on leadership: Elvire’s milestone moments

Our tenacious CEO Elvire Jaspers has been making waves (again) this year, sharing her insights and expertise across a variety of platforms. From thought-provoking podcast appearances to inspiring interviews, Elvire’s leadership continues to shape conversations in the tech and entrepreneurship world.

  • She shared her journey and leadership philosophies on the CEO in Tech podcast.
  • Her passion for empowering women in technology shone through her BeeQueen HyvePlatform discussions.
  • She tackled adaptability and innovation in digital agencies during the Agency Talk sessions.

These moments weren’t just about sharing knowledge—they were about amplifying our values and showing what it means to lead with vision and authenticity.

New projects, new clients

In line with our commitment to work on projects that contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we welcomed some new names to our client list during the past 12 months. From responsible consumption to good health and well-being, and affordable and clean energy, all these clients share our vision of a more sustainable future.
