Thank you for your huge contribution to the Vocile din Cimitirul Vesel concert at the Athenaeum on 29 November. I believe there is a widespread view that the concert was very well promoted.
Your particular help with the individual media organizations (…) generated very well-focused coverage of the event and of Ireland.

Oliver Grogan

We would like to express our appreciation for the creative PR thinking you put into the ABN AMRO
European Values Programme. The programme has functioned as an excellent PR tool for ABN AMRO
Bank Romania, generating important and measurable results over the years, among which some are mentioned below.
The educational programme generated increased visibility for ABN AMRO Bank Romania as a responsible corporate citizen, consolidating its reputation and awareness in the Romanian market. One outstanding concrete result is ABN AMRO Bank’s having been voted as a Superbrand in the Romanian market within the international Superbrands Programme.

Peter Weiss

It is with great pleasure that I received the first volume of the Superbrands Romania Book, for which I would like to kindly thank you.
From the very beginning I would like to salute your initiative of developing this programme in Romania, which is extremely significant especially in the context of Romania’s new position as member of the European Union. (… ) I hope this initiative will soon become a successful and traditional event for Romania.
