Belgium

by: Marina Natanova

In September 2009 I left Russia for Belgium, to work for Futurelab. By that time I had worked internationally for 5 years, but the prospective of seeing “the West” from inside was thrilling. I had little illusions, though: when you see audit results * of a huge multinational across the globe, you stop feeling so bad about your own country’s opaque methods of dealing with advertising money. However even those little illusions I had, were enough to give me a surprise. 

Today is a happy day. With the setup of Futurelab Brussels, we will finally become active in the Belgian market. Even though we’ve been based here for years, we’ve only had a handful of Belgian customers and never really engaged in any prospecting.
