Difrnt.

What Difrnt. does

Difrnt. (legal entity DIFRNT AGENCY SRL, Fiscal Code RO39499519) is a private digital marketing agency founded in 2018 and headquartered in Bucharest, Romania. The firm delivers integrated services across paid media (Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, programmatic), SEO, social media management, web development, video production, content marketing, and a dedicated AI solutions line branded as difrnt.ai. Its stated differentiation rests on full-funnel execution under one roof with no outsourcing, AI integrated into daily operations, and P&L-level outcome reporting anchored in custom dashboards built on GA4.

The customer base is a mix of mid-market and enterprise brands, primarily in Romania and broader Central and Eastern Europe, including Flip (refurbished e-commerce, 4+ year SEO engagement), Decathlon, TUI, Cumpăna, Sofiaman, MAM Bricolaj, Finery Boutique, OPTIblu, Avenor College, and Morphoza. Documented outcomes include 20x SEO ROI for Flip, +76% sales for Sofiaman, +11.7% revenue for MAM Bricolaj in off-season, +429% TikTok views for Cumpăna, and +300% organic traffic for Finery Boutique. The agency is a certified Google Partner, has 5.0 stars across 31 Google Business reviews, and has received the EU Business News Most Innovative Digital Marketing CEO 2025 award and 50Pros Top Agency Spring 2026 recognition.

Commercially, Difrnt. operates on retainer and project-based contracts sold as integrated systems rather than piece-rate services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the sales motion is direct and consultative, beginning with free PPC audits and consultations. The team is small (1-10 employees, ~10 visible on the team page), founder-led by CEO Dan Toma, and bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional shareholders. The AI product line includes autonomous agents, custom chatbots, predictive campaign optimization, and knowledge base systems, accessible through a separate difrnt.ai sub-brand.
