Leo Burnett Bucharest was the most awarded agency at the 25th Effie Awards Europe that took place online recently. The agency was recognized with 2 Silver and 2 Bronze awards for work created for clients including Procter & Gamble, Telekom Romania and Fashion Days.  

Following three consecutive years of receiving the region-wide recognition at Effie Europe, this is the first year that Leo Burnett Bucharest has earned the distinction of being the agency with the most number of awards at the event. 

Diana Alexa, managing director, Leo Burnett Bucharest, comments: ”The last two years have been challenging for the communications industry, and our satisfaction has come from the fact that we have managed to adapt and, above all, strengthen our partnerships with all our clients. This has led to a positive impact in business on both sides and we are happy that this impact is also recognised internationally at the Effie Awards, which rewards efficiency in communication, and definitely the most relevant festival in these times”.

Victor Stroe, Associate Director & Chief Strategy Officer, Leo Burnett Bucharest, added: ”The fact that Leo Burnett Bucharest is the most awarded agency at Effie Europe only validates the Effie Romania results, where Leo has been 'agency of the year' over the past four years. These awards are testament to the dedication and value of the support we provide to our clients, and our impact on their business, both during boom times and especially in difficult times”.
