Studies

With a general Bachelor, passed with the Lyçée Français Jean Monnet de Bruxelles, I've continued my higher education at the CAD brussels, with a first general year of communication & advertising, followed by two years in the specified field of advertising, design and illustration. The aprenticeship allowed me to develop a good comprehension of the advertising field, as much on a marketing approach as on its creative aspect, and on design and art on a more global scheme.

A portrait of Antoine Leignel, in a warm light environment

I have started my career being an illustrator and layoutman for several advertising agencies in brussels such as DDB or publicis, with which I had the opportunity to work with at the very begining of my professional path, I could have acquired some strong comprehension of the communication sector through the diversified working experiences I had along my working path. These experiences could have grown through the following opportunities, by working as much for the B2B sector, as for the B2C and inter-institutional sector.

Within a global approach, I am trying to combine the different skills I am specialised in, and for which i could have worked in the past, to deliver the most professional services with the creativity and methods acquired along these experiences.

International experiences

After my studies, and some first experiences and internships in the advertising industry in Brussels, I had the opportunity to work abroad, mainly in the french caribbeans (Martinique and Guadeloupe) for which i was working in the main advertising agencies of the two islands, as much as graphic & web designer as for illustrator roles.

These experiences have been enriching on a professional side but also on a personal and cultural side. After these oportunities, I came back to brussels where I could have worked for the digital marketing industry (leadFabric), and for the gambling sector (Golden palace casinos), and have after worked for the past 10 years for the different EU bodies and institutions in Brussels (European Commission, European Council).

Here are some of the fields I've been specialising on:

*****

Antoine produced a broad variety of excellent graphic material and work, including video and web projects, often under significant pressure. I really enjoyed our work together and benefited greatly from his skill and competence. As such, I would have no hesitation in recommending him for future projects.

*****

Antoine worked for an important client of us; the European Commission. He worked in two different teams and did both design work as front end development. It turned out to be a great fit for both positions; the management was impressed by his skills and he fitted in the international environment easily. I wish you the best of luck with your next adventure Antoine!

*****

During his time with us, Antoine delivered some fantastic creatives that were used to promote on the one hand our brand in external campaigns (both digital & print campaigns) and to visualize our promotions on the websites. He has a very creative mind and can deliver suitable visuals for almost any topic imaginable, while still adhering to general house-style rules.

*****

I have worked with Antoine on various projects in internal communication at the European Commission, mostly web design but also print. He is a creative, talented and pro active designer with a great personality and team spirit. He is also very customer oriented and result driven in his work. I highly recommend him as he would be an excellent addition to any team.

*****

J’ai eu le plaisir de collaborer avec Antoine entre debut 2014 et aout 2015. Antoine a ete un collegue agreable, soucieux du bien-etre de chacun et de la bonne collaboration entre tous. Creatif, courageux, resistant au stress et avec l’envie d’en faire plus, d’aller plus loin ; ce fut un plaisir de le compter dans l’equipe.
