Get Started

What Get Started does

Get Started (legal entity S.C. Get Started S.R.L.) is an independent creative advertising agency headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, founded in 2014 by a team of Above-the-Line (ATL) advertising veterans. The company operates with a stated 1–10 employee headcount and delivers full-service creative work — awareness campaigns, consumer engagement, brand POSM design, branding and packaging, print, digital marketing, and social media management — to corporate clients in FMCG, construction chemicals, enterprise software, and consumer goods. Its service catalog is organized into seven core lines and seven sub-services (communications strategy, creative concept, art direction & copywriting, DTP, media planning & buying, web design, community management).

The agency's value proposition is built on a flat organizational model that removes intermediary account managers, giving clients direct access to a senior creative team. There is no proprietary technology product, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML capability; production is described as relying on standard creative and design tools. Documented client work includes multi-year engagements for Sika Romania (since 2014), Orlando's (since 2016), and KAFUNE (since 2020), with the Orlando's account alone producing 30M+ annual Facebook impressions, 102K page likes, 375K clicks, and 260K engagements. The firm markets an enterprise-grade client roster that includes Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Unilever, Oracle, and Henkel.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and pricing is quote-based, with prospective clients directed to request estimates via the website. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the agency relies on its portfolio/case-study website, blog content marketing, and a LinkedIn/Facebook corporate presence to attract B2B clients, with no marketplace or third-party distribution channels. The firm is privately held, owner-operated by its founding Creative Partners (George Preoteasa, Alex Florescu, and Claudiu Câmpeanu), and operates without institutional investment, parent-company affiliation, or disclosed funding. Geographic focus is stated as Romania-only, although selected project work has extended into Serbia for the La Fântâna account.
