“In advertising there are people you have to work with and people you want to work with. Emil is the second type. We\u2019ve just completed one project together, but working with him was like playing Nintendo in 1994 at my cool friend Liubo\u2019s house. I did it once, it was amazing, and I crave to get the opportunity to do it again.<\/p>
As a TV Ad Director and Creative Director at Guts&BrainsDDB, I\u2019ve had a few occasions where we would take a brand from scratch and elevate it through proper communication into a market leadership position. And let me tell you one thing \u2013 to turn a brand around, it always takes one strong, brave marketing leader, who understands aesthetics and storytelling and is eager to take a chance, and stand responsible for both success and failure.<\/p>
This is who Emil is. That rare breed of marketing director who knows how to translate insightful business strategy into effective and captivating creative communication. If you are a brand \u2013 be sure he will be of immeasurable value to your team. If you let him \u2013 he will probably shake things up, reshape the way you talk and look, and get you all the results you need and want. If you are a creative agency \u2013 he will both push and help you deliver results that will make you feel proud when you look back.<\/p>
As a friend of mine said: \u201cHis website doesn\u2019t look like a marketing director\u2019s website.\u201d Damn right. It looks like a sleek portfolio site of a production house or an ad agency. And it gives a clear picture of how much he pays attention to both structure and visuals. Just imagine what he can do for your brand. Cheers.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
“As a Creative Director in on\u0435 of the top 10 agencies in Bulgaria, with a 15+ years of experience in the field, I\u2019ve worked with a lot of marketing professionals. But quite few match the level of dedication, the rapidly growing knowledge and expertise, and the humble yet decisive leadership character Emil possesses.<\/p>
I had the pleasure of working with him on the brand communication of efbet, the biggest sports betting company in Bulgaria. Over the course of 3 years our professional partnership grew into a professional friendship, which is a rarity I cherish very much.<\/p>
Emil has led the efbet brand through an enormous transformation, establishing a new and distinctive tone of voice, a coherent multichannel presence and a remarkable digital footprint. Under his guidance the brand expanded its operations on several new markets, the first of which was Romania, utilizing a bold, unconventional approach.<\/p>
He has always managed to struck me with his clear view of the big picture, yet keeping a close eye on the details in each campaign. Together we made a couple of the biggest TV commercials on the Bulgarian market, pushing the limits of what\u2019s possible and elevating the image of efbet to a new level.<\/p>
His background and love for sports, and football in particular, shaped him as a man who not only believes in the values of team play and fair play, but also manages to transform them into a practical working ethics. Besides being an expert on his own, Emil had built a wonderful team of like-minded people around him.<\/p>
I\u2019m sure that his new endeavors will lead him further and higher on his professional path, benefiting everyone who has the privilege to work with him.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
“Emil understands his business, knows his target, analyzes the data and has the vision how to develop a brand. More importantly he has the BALLS to follow through.<\/p>
From a TVC producer-client relationship, I am thrilled to state that I’ve had the distinct pleasure to have collaborated with Emil on a number of large-scale projects. From day one, Emil has shown that he is an experienced professional, who understands his market and client’s audience to the very tiniest of detail.<\/p>
Furthermore, Emil thinks in perspective and always in context of the bigger picture. He is aware, that we all operate in a dynamic, super competitive world, and that both businesses operations and corporate identities have to constantly move forward and evolve in order to keep existing customers satisfied and interested and also attract new ones.<\/p>
Even before, having the pleasure to work together, I have noticed how the brand image of one of the biggest betting companies in Bulgaria has completely changed and thrived under Emil\u2019s leadership.<\/p>
I am personally, incredibly happy from our mutual work and collaboration and am looking forward for our paths to cross again.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
