What Purple Key Creative Agency does

Purple Key Creative Agency (legal entity Purple Key d.o.o. Sarajevo) is a privately held, full-service creative agency headquartered in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, with additional offices in Croatia and Slovenia. Founded circa 2018 (firmographics list 2011 as a founding reference year) and operating with 11-50 employees, the firm delivers an eight-line service portfolio covering Marketing Production, Social Media management, Photography, Event Management, Digital Programming, IT Services & Engineering, Visual Communications, and Media Production — positioning itself as a one-stop brand development partner rather than a single-discipline shop.

Its client roster spans automotive (Toyota, Škoda, Porsche), food and beverage (Burger King, McDonald's, Coca-Cola HBC, Carlsberg, Pi Brewery), pharmaceuticals (Pfizer, Roche, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Sandoz, Viatris, Takeda), technology (Infobip), real estate (ARIA Mall, Central Park), and NGOs/government/education entities (Transparency International, Qatar Foundation International, Association of Banks of BiH, medical associations). Long-tenure contracts — including 10 years with ARIA Mall, 8 years with Coca-Cola HBC Adria, and 7 years with Central Park — indicate a relationship-driven, account-based sales model rather than transactional project bidding. Visibility into international venues such as Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and TEDxMasarikova, plus reference projects for clients operating in London, Frankfurt, and Dubai, extend delivery reach well beyond the Balkans.

The business model is professional services on a project-and-retainer basis, with pricing not publicly disclosed and bespoke per engagement. The technology stack comprises third-party utilities (Google Maps Platform, Google Analytics, Microsoft 365) plus in-house design, production, and engineering capabilities; no proprietary platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed. The firm is founder-led by Mirza Piric, has no external funding rounds, and is independently owned without a parent or institutional shareholders.
