An idea

From vision to reality

It has always been a personal dream and ambition of our CEO, Gunther Everaert, to establish a company that offers a unique service to other businesses. Given his passion for communications, especially corporate communications, it was evident that this should be our starting point in 2002. Our initial projects included corporate websites, annual reports, and recruitment communications.

One fateful night, during a brainstorming session with a friend who was active in e-commerce, the idea for a motivational platform emerged. This platform would allow people to earn points for their achievements, which they could then redeem at a rewards shop. In 2004, the seed for Motisha’s current value offering was planted.

Over the years, our technology has proven to be the key differentiator for companies. It enables them to swiftly launch, manage, and scale smart incentive solutions. With several awards and an international customer base, Motisha has successfully executed campaigns in over 100 countries and 15 languages, delivering more than a million rewards globally. Our engaged team is more than ready for the future, committed to helping our customers unlock their full human potential. It’s all about engagement!
