WHO WE ARE

A recently formed creative agency with some of the most experienced and awarded creatives in the advertising industry. They have been on the front lines of many successful current and former major creative agencies in Lithuania for almost two decades as both Head of Art and Creative Director — they are Senior Art Director, Marius Kneipferavičius, and Creative Director, Renata Šarkauskaitė.

Marius and Renata can draw on some exceptionally broad and interesting experiences, having worked in multiple independent and global network agencies, and having already won several dozen awards in international advertising festivals. They have worked with a variety of clients both locally in Lithuania and globally doing branding, rebranding, art direction, writing, design, visual identities and project production. For example, pan-Baltic campaigns for pigu.lt; a global campaign for Luerzers Archive; work for the ALVAS group in Finland; campaigns for Swedbank, SEB bank, Nordea Bank, RSA Insurance group, Mondelez international, IKEA, TeliaSonera (Omnitel, Ezys), British Airlines, the Carlsberg Group … and many more.

We do not have unimportant projects.
We see all projects as equal.

We’re convinced that in an ever-changing communication environment, everything is still based on fundamental principles and human values that do not change. Only the meaningful remains. However, we’re not on autopilot, following formulas or prescribed styles — we want to create! To find fresh solutions, new ideas, break-throughs. We take an individual approach to each client to solve their communication, design and strategic challenges.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN

We know there’s no middle ground. Advertising needs to be great or not at all. If the work goes unnoticed, everything else is superfluous. So, we gravitate towards those with ambition, who strive for more. An excellent result is only achieved through like-minded vision.

We believe in smart advertising, the power of good taste, strong visuals, bold decisions, broad experience and sincere, hard work with the right talent — it’s a powerful package that we hope the right clients will appreciate.

All forms of creative concepting — From long-term, creative platforms to unique, original ideas for advertising campaigns. TVC’s and digital video script creation. Image campaigns, promo campaigns, new brand launch campaigns. Collaborating with strategists. Discovering strategic insights and turning them into ideas — ideas spread successfully across a variety of media channels.

Creating new brands, from the name up — Brand visuals (logo creation, brand guideline book creation, graphic design and ongoing production and execution work). Brand writing (naming, brand slogan creation, campaign slogans, creative headlines, copy, articles, texts for catalogues and other publications).

Co-ordination, supervision and production of communication projects — We assemble strong creative teams based on the specific challenges and character of a project. We choose the filming team, director, photographer or stylist who will not only do a task, but elevate or transform it.
