Graffiti PR becomes Ketchum’s exclusive affiliate in Romania

 Ketchum, one of the world’s leading public relations agencies and PRWeek’s 2012 Agency of the Year, has signed an exclusive affiliate agreement with Graffiti Public Relations, one of Romania’s largest PR consultancies.

Graffiti PR, led by managing director Mircea Tomescu, has worked with the agency for six years, beginning its relationship with Pleon in 2006 and working with Ketchum since its 2009 merger with Pleon.

Mircea and his team are a powerful presence in Romania and have consistently delivered excellent results for Ketchum clients (…) Graffiti PR combines deep local-market insight and expertise with a very modern view of how marketing, digital and corporate communication services should be integrated in order to deliver business results. Our partnership has proven itself many times over through the years, and we are now looking forward to further developing our opportunities together in the Romanian market.

The agency has grown at a fast pace in the last four years, having to respond not only to changes within the industry, but also to the challenging Romanian economic landscape. By expanding our capabilities and developing in rapidly growing areas such as CSR and digital community management, we are proud to have achieved more than 50 percent growth in a market that has significantly contracted.
