Building the platform

When we started in October 2014, there were no real bottom-up initiatives which used community-focused approach to spread and inspire love for Brussels. Only a few people used #welovebrussels hashtag. Now we celebrate 5 years of successful work and the numbers that we reached are stunning. More than 80.000 followers across different platforms (community of 41.000+ on Instagram!). Instead of doing the talk, we walk you through the numbers and pure statistics from the social media, as well as some articles & stories that other media published about our project.

BRUZZ magazine published a story on WeLoveBrussels and its founder, explaining why our project aims to make a difference in the city. Politico Europe‘s most popular news briefing mentioned WeLoveBrussels as a great idea and great account to follow. Flaire magazine wrote that our mission is to share what people in Brussels love in their city. Two years ago, DataNews listed us as one of the most popular Instagram accounts in Belgium together with Tomorrowland festival, FC Anderlecht and other giants.
