Graffiti PR to handle PR and brand strategy for Cargus in the next 3 years
Graffiti PR will handle the PR and brand strategy campaigns for Cargus courier in the next 3 years, after winning a pitch in which were involved 4 of the biggest PR agencies in Romania.
Cargus is a special client because it undergoes one of the most important moments in the history of the company. After the takeover by Abris Capital Partners, a fast evolution process started, one that has to be supported by the brand strategy and communication efforts developed together with Graffiti PR
Mircea Tomescu,
Managing Director Graffiti PR
In May, Cargus launched its new visual identity that includes a new logo and a new slogan, “A step forward”. Cargus’ “runner”, used for the 1st time in 2004 and that became a Cargus symbol, was kept and updated for the new logo.
2013 is an important year for Cargus, one in which the results of the company must equal its investments. We chose to work with Graffiti PR because during the selection process of the agencies, we appreciated that they have shown interest not only in the product offered by Cargus, but in the desire to provide communication solutions with positive impact on our business
Nadia Homoc,
Commercial Director Cargus
In 2013 Cargus made a 4 million euro investment, the largest in the history of the company, of which 3.2 million euros were invested exclusively in the fleet renewal, while 0.5 million euros were invested in upgrading the IT infrastructure and the Cargus communication software.
