Branding agency Grapefruit, Romanian market leader by turnover

Romanian branding agency Grapefruit is the largest agency in the country in terms of turnover, according to a press release published on company’s website.

Grapefruit managed to grow in 2009, in spite of the economical downturn, and became the leader of Romanian market in terms of turnover. In 2009, Grapefruit’s turnover grew by 19% in RON and by 4% in EUR. Compared to 2008, the agency has recorded a jump in profits of 29% in RON and 12% in EUR, reaching to a turnover of RON 2.91M (Eur 690.000) in 2009.

Customers have become more attentive to the ROI of their brand expenditures. That is why focusing on the client’s business goals (versus just nicely designing a website or a logo) helped Grapefruit grow last year
