There will always be room for fresh blood. But getting into advertising looks different now.

The old path was built on learning the craft step by step — through small tasks, endless iterations, and simply being around the work.
Now, you’re expected to bring something concrete to the table much earlier.

It’s not fair. But it’s true.

Vlad Belcin talks about what that means for the next generation of creatives — and what still matters once you’re in.

Social X Media

Strong campaigns are built through strong collaboration. Our Social x Media workshop was a chance to better understand each other’s roles, create stronger synergies, and see how our different expertise can come together to drive better results.

Because a good strategy isn’t always a fixed one. When something isn’t working, both teams need to bring their perspective, challenge the approach, and adapt along the way.

Different expertise, one shared goal — and the flexibility to get there together. 🚀

Uneori, nu trebuie să ghicești momentul. 👀 Trebuie doar să ai un ochi format pentru datele importante.

În contextul Rabla 2026, semnalele pentru Toyota România au fost clare: interesul crește, CPL-ul scade, CTR-ul urcă, iar Toyota e deja pe locul 2 în România la mărci auto noi înmatriculate în prima jumătate a anului.

👉 Așa că am intrat rapid în completarea campaniei naționale „N-am griji. Am o Toyota”, cu add-ons dedicate ofertelor actuale și modelelor eligibile Rabla 2026.

Pentru că atunci când performance-ul îți arată momentul, comunicarea trebuie să țină pasul.

Some of the best brand thinking happens in the places that don’t have to look perfect. Because when every touchpoint tries to sell, people stop listening.

👉 Stories (especially on Instagram) give brands a little more room to move fast, test things, ask questions, react in real time and sound less like a brand with a script.

Less polished, but more human.
Less “product, benefit, CTA, repeat.”
More “let people talk.”

Because you can’t build consideration if your brand never speaks their language.

Processes rarely make the headline, but they often save the project.

🗞️ In her new IQads article, Ștefana Lepădatu writes about the unglamorous systems that keep agency work moving: clear folders, useful briefs, shared structures and the kind of process that doesn’t slow creativity down, but gives it enough room to actually happen.

Because the real CS superpower is not putting out fires faster. It’s building processes good enough so some fires never happen.

In a saturated market, brands don’t stand out by saying more. They stand out through ideas people remember.
For Feliway, that idea was “La Pisicolog”: a humorous campaign on real cat stress, told through the language of therapy.
Even the PR kit became part of the story.
Because when the idea is strong, everything becomes content.

Not every messy frame is authentic because it’s unpolished. Not every polished idea is fake.

👉 In her latest IQads article, Livia Ion writes about performative authenticity and how authenticity, once the antidote to overproduced social media, has slowly become a format of its own.

From messy aesthetics and one-take reels to self-aware brand voices, the question is no longer just how real a brand looks.
It’s whether it has enough personality, perspective and cultural understanding to be worth watching.
