Bogdan says he came back in the group headquartered on 13th Iorga street in Bucharest “knowing where and why he returns. I knew already many of the colleagues from Saatchi&Saatchi + The Geeks and already had a good opinion but, more then that, I came back because I felt I match agency’s culture. And among my geek attribution is to preserve and perpetuate”.

“This is about ideas and creative dares, always doubled by that rational part that makes them be relevant too. To first do your job the best for your clients and then to collect the benefits, like awards, and not the other way around. About making a name on the market with good and consistent work. And all this in a cool and relaxing atmosphere. But that’s what advertising is supposed to be about, right?”, Bogdan added.
