OONA and BAAS merge AS OONA/BAAS

TWO LEADING AGENCIES UNITE IN A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

The renowned Benelux agencies OONA and BAAS, both long-established names in the industry, are joining forces to form a single organization.

“We aspire to become the strongest communications agency in the Benelux. Suddenly, that vision seems entirely within reach. The combination of our creative culture, data-driven approach, and community-first vision positions us perfectly to scale up and make an impact. Everything is now falling into place to build something truly significant,”
Werner De Smet, CEO

The right time, the right move

In recent years, the communications landscape has evolved dramatically. Traditional campaigns have been overtaken by niche online communities and creator-driven content. Consumers now seek authentic connections, and brands can only succeed by partnering with agencies that truly understand how to cultivate them. Both OONA and BAAS have long held that expertise. Now, with the launch of OONA/BAAS, they are seizing the opportunity to lead this market transformation.

OONA/BAAS brings together the strengths of both agencies, forming a dynamic, integrated organization with OONA as the majority shareholder. This partnership enhances their ability to serve clients even more effectively. With an impressive portfolio that includes brands such as Airbnb, Auping, BACARDÍ, Gucci, IKEA, Kruidvat, Levi’s®, MARTINI, Nespresso, New Balance, PepsiCo, Playstation, Polestar, Rémy Cointreau, Samsung and Zalando, OONA/BAAS is only just getting started.

Synergies across borders

The merger offers not only strategic advantages but also significant geographical benefits. OONA has a strong presence in Belgium, while BAAS is firmly established in the Netherlands. Together, they have created an agency that is both locally relevant and internationally ambitious.

“I am incredibly proud of the team we have today: strong, driven, and dedicated. Over the past few years, we have worked tirelessly to develop a second tier of leadership with a strong operational foundation. It is they who will help propel this merger forward,”
Birgit Hubloux, Founder of OONA
