Brussels’ vibrant news and culture platform

Wieni partnered with Bruzz in early 2024 to develop bruzz.be, a fast, scalable platform that supports over 200 editors in bringing news and cultural stories to the heart of Brussels. Today, the site is a trusted, dynamic source for everything happening in the city.

Who is Bruzz

Bruzz is the leading media brand for Flemish Brussels, offering a unique mix of news, radio, television, and cultural reporting. As a cross-media organisation, Bruzz connects the people of Brussels with the city’s stories, broadcasting live, publishing on-demand content, and covering local life from every angle.

“Their creativity and involvement strikes us every day. They actively think along and challenge us in every aspect”

How did Wieni help?

Bruzz needed a reliable digital home that could handle complex editorial workflows, real-time updates, and high-volume traffic. Together, we built a future-proof platform that is fast, flexible, and always ready for the next big story.

Wieni took care of:

  • Editorial system for 200+ journalists and editors

  • Fast and reliable breaking news via push notifications

  • Seamless support for live and on-demand audio and video

  • Scalable infrastructure ready for high-traffic peaks

  • A lightweight, super-fast frontend optimised for caching and speed

Five highlights

  1. Powerful editorial workflow
    A flexible CMS that allows journalists to quickly publish articles, videos, and audio across channels with ease.

  2. Real-time push notifications
    Instant alerts keep readers informed during breaking news moments and encourage repeat visits.

  3. Integrated live and on-demand streaming
    Bruzz Radio, Bruzz Ket, Bruzz Ice, and TV come together in one smooth user experience, accessible across devices.

  4. Effortless scaling during peak traffic
    The platform remains fast and stable, even when major local events send thousands of people online at once.

  5. Optimised for speed
    A clean, intuitive frontend focused on speed and performance, ensuring a smooth experience for all visitors.

The result is a strong, future-ready platform where the Bruzz team can publish quickly, scale confidently, and keep Brussels connected to its stories—every hour of every day.
