Publicis Romania – Agency of the Year @Golden Drum 2016

Cristina Blanaru Creativity, Festivals & Awards

Publicis Romania has been named Agency of the Year after dominating the 2016 Golden Drum Festival by picking up the Golden Rose top award with a total of 17 nominations and 13 trophies: 2 Grand Prix, 5 Golden Drums and 6 Silver Drums.

I’m very happy and flattered by this incredible result. Few people would probably have thought this possible a couple of years ago, but I always believed that nothing is impossible. And together with this great team and some really hard work we made it happen. All 7 campaigns we sent have been awarded, and in almost all categories. I’m also especially proud of our digital output! We keep building our young tradition of digital excellence, that proved consistently successful in the last years together with Nurun, our digital agency, part of Publicis Groupe Romania.
