Splendid Agency
Creative Director
We’re a bunch of people that have worked in marketing for decades, not because of need, but because of love. A love for building kick-ass digital brands. A love for telling stories. Stories that ooze passion and purpose.
We love other things as well - the sun, sports, chilling on the magnificent Cyprus beaches, the multi-cultural vibe of Limassol, cool gadgets, chipmunks and fireworks.
We dislike titles but if we had to give this a team one, it would be "lucky". We're lucky to do what we love every single day. The words 'work', 'hobby' and 'fun' are synonymous in our books.
We learn every day, not just to be on top of our game, but because we want to know more about the world we live in and what makes it spin. We probe into notions of psychology, physiology, society, data, technology, and marry it with our marketing. Cause what is marketing, if not a social science.
We listen, we care, we empathise. That’s how we treat each client. We want to build lasting relationships, not big accounts. We want you to confide in us, not brief us. We want to make friends, before we become partners.
This is our story.
