Chief Information Technology Officer

Company Overview

Social Capital is a professional community launched in 2024 by Filip Simonovski and Margaux Demeyer. It brings together communications and marketing specialists working across policy, B2B, and B2C environments. The group is built around helping people improve how they communicate, shape perception, and drive influence.

The community is designed to connect two worlds that rarely overlap: institutional policy circles and Belgium’s creative ecosystem. Through Brussels-based events, workshops, creative walks, and informal meet-ups, members exchange ideas, test new approaches, and build more effective strategies. The platform also offers a growing online presence, curated membership experiences, shared storytelling knowledge, and collaborative campaign development support.
