Rocklin
Rocklin is not like any other advertising agency or branding consultancy. We are a family-run business, so it means that we are not passionate about growth but definitely passionate about quality. We work in the international markets — such as Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and China. In the same time, we at Rocklin want that our clients never lose this great feeling of working with a boutique branding agency that knows how to listen — and only then to advise. The Rocklin team has a broad experience in communication planning, branding and design. We manage the network of professional independent specialists — creative, production or research — across Europe and Middle East, so we are able to make a true dream team for your project, and we also know how to interact and supervise local teams, which you might want to use for the implementation of our branding strategies and conceptual design. We at Rocklin strongly believe in value for money. Every penny you spend on branding or advertising solution, is to be backed up with a solid strategic and strong creative concept. In order to ensure it, we make sure that our fees always remain highly competitive. Rocklin’s co-founders — with all their experience — are always available to our client. Write to us a couple of lines and we will be happy to explain you how we achieve it!Our Specialization
