August Agency Highlights – Cucumber Season
August 2026 will now forever be remembered as the month we learned that journalists in Belgium and the Netherlands refer to the quieter summer news period as the “cucumber season” (komkommertijd). Thanks to our regional team for sharing!
Otherwise, we have some fabulous agency highlights to share despite it being komkommertijd:
