IDEA FILM
AROUND THE WORLD
We created Idea Film, several years ago, during a cup of coffee. So yes, it didn’t take long till we figured out that this is what we wanted to do, together. And then, we drank some more coffee with clients that became our friends. This didn’t take long either. We continue to do so with old friends and new clients and collaborators. Some things don’t need to change. This friendly approach and our background in film and commercial production for over 16 years was appealing to more than 80 clients from all over the world.
Today there are more than 400 projects we took part in.
Our passion and our never resting curiosity urge us to discover visual and storytelling concepts that can improve or refresh the perception of your company within your target audience.

HOMEGROWN IMPACT: UNLEASHING ROMANIA’S ADVERTISING POWERHOUSES
Romania’s advertising landscape, valued at approximately €2.2 billion in agency fees in 2025 and driving a €778 million media market in 2024, is sustained by over 9,300 locally owned agencies. Whereas global network subsidiaries dominate certain segments, small- and medium-sized independents excel through agility, deep market knowledge and cost-efficient solutions.
Independent full-service outfits like Pastel (Bucharest-based; 11–50 employees; founded 2006; team of 30; 100% local-owned; over 5,000 integrated campaigns spanning CSR, digital, PR, events) exemplify how homegrown agencies blend creative strategy with executional depth.
Equally notable, Godmother (Brand Experience Artisans; founded 1997; 10–49 professionals) has cemented its place among Romania’s top BTL specialists—partnering with global names like Coca-Cola and championing sustainable event practices. Meanwhile, Exploratist (Romania’s first Employee Experience agency; founded 2011; 11–50 staff) leads in employer branding, internal communications, D&I programs and its Project Atom ecosystem, delivering seamless HR-marketing-digital journeys for mid-sized clients.
Digital channels now command over 36% of media budgets—up to €252 million in 2023 (+8% vs. 2022) and projected to €269 million in 2024 (+7%)—with independents leading in programmatic buying, social-first campaigns and influencer partnerships. Traditional TV remains the single largest spend (52% share), prompting local agencies to blend broadcast, DOOH, radio and digital into seamless 360° roll-outs.
The sector’s dynamism also fosters specialized boutiques focused on employer branding, B2B communications or performance marketing, often delivering award-winning work on mid-sized budgets. Moreover, strong CSR credentials and authentic local storytelling differentiate many agencies, aligning brand communication with societal impact.
For both advertising professionals and potential clients, partnering with Romania’s SME-owned agencies means tapping into genuine market insights, strategic flexibility and creative passion—key assets for campaigns that resonate in an increasingly digital and culturally diverse Romanian marketplace.
