Katrien Bottez en Peter Ampe became joint Creative Directors at Duval Guillaume Brussels in 2005, and have worked together for more than 10 years now on both Belgian and international clients, winning many national and international awards including 3 Gold Lions at Cannes and one Grand CLIO last year.
