Earlier this year, Mastercard debuted its sonic brand identity, a comprehensive sound architecture that is aiming to reshape the paying experience. To introduce their new MOGO – musical logo to the public, the brand chose Electric Castle, Romania’s most famous music festival.

In 2019, Raiffeisen Bank wanted to develop the program in order to make it more attractive to the entrepreneurial community, thus positioning the brand as one that supports the start-up community.

Food waste is something people have been living with for a long time. Most might have overlooked it, though. The idea of the “Replate Waste” campaign was assembling a digital mechanism that transformed a general “infamous” individual deed (generating food waste basically almost every time you eat) into the inspiration for a creative process and, ultimately, a good deed. We turned to digital to make people part of a change: awareness on a global issue, on one hand, and support for a social cause, on the other.

GDPR got almost everybody scared, as it brought up a lot of new & sensitive information that needed to be 100% in place in a clear, non-negotiable deadline: 25th OF MAY. For a company like Coca-Cola HBC Romania, with over 1600 employees around the country and multiple internal processes involving direct-work with personal data, the consequences in case of GDPR non-compliance could’ve seriously impact the overall business.
