About Social Capital
Building bridges between communications communities in Brussels
Our Story
Founded in 2024 by Filip Simonovski and Margaux Demeyer, Social Capital Brussels emerged from a simple observation: Brussels is home to three distinct but interconnected communications communities – EU policy professionals, B2B communicators, and B2C creatives – yet these worlds rarely intersect.
We set out to change that by creating a space where these diverse perspectives could meet, share insights, and build meaningful professional relationships.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gap between EU policy communications, B2B corporate strategy, and B2C creative storytelling. We believe that the best insights come from cross-pollination of ideas across these sectors.
Through our events, workshops, and networking opportunities, we facilitate conversations that spark innovation, foster collaboration, and help communications professionals see their work from fresh perspectives.
Why "Social Capital"?
The term "social capital" comes from social science and refers to the networks, relationships, and shared values that enable people and organizations to function effectively together.
In the context of Brussels' communications ecosystem, we believe that building social capital across sectors creates value for everyone. When policy professionals understand B2C creativity, when B2B strategists learn from policy insights, and when creatives grasp the nuances of business communications, we all become better at what we do.
Social Capital Brussels is about investing in relationships that pay dividends in professional growth, innovative thinking, and career opportunities.
