Manon Gerlo

As Communications Manager, Manon is in charge of the interior and design portfolio at oona, a full-service content agency with over 50 digital natives based in Antwerp, Ghent and Amsterdam. Manon's portfolio contains a delightful mix of high-end and democratic, Benelux and Scandinavian brands such as IKEA, Fritz Hansen, Tribù, Kvik, Auping and Niko. 

As the company’s tagline “Everybody loves a good story” suggests, oona specialises in storytelling, ranging from press relations to content creation and influencer marketing.

“Making and maintaining personal connections are still at the forefront of what we do, but the art is to share this knowledge in an efficient way across different teams and generations at the agency. Personal PR backed up by a centralised and especially dynamic contact management system to easily categorise, share and update contacts makes the whole definitely greater than the sum of its parts.”
