The ATU team
You may not see us, but we are behind campaigns that have certainly reached you. The people with more than a few advertising ATUs up their sleeves (‘atu’ is Romanian for ‘trump card’).
Ștefan Vădineanu
This is Ștefan Vădineanu, General Manager of the ATU Advertising team. He laid the first brick in the foundations of this ambitious project and still watches over it, day after day, with the same dedication. Before making any decision, he leads by example. He believes that commitment starts with the small things, including putting up a roll-up banner at an event.
Ștefan always keeps the bigger picture in view. He knows which questions to ask and when it is important to act. His role in the agency? He coordinates. He decides. He plans. He rolls up his sleeves. He knows when to leave room for dreaming and when structure and clear goals are needed.
More than a General Manager, he is the architect of the very first ‘atu’ and the one who recognises potential while others are still looking for it. 25 years on, Ștefan’s vision has shape, experience, a team, a portfolio and a direction.
Darius Onețiu
You will recognise him by his unmistakable style: several conversations at once, decisions made on the spot and one eye always on the next task. Darius is quick to turn information into action and never leaves things on hold for longer than necessary. Between quotes, coordination and client meetings, he always finds the best way to move a project forward, even when the deadline has already passed. Alongside all this, he teaches at the West University of Timișoara.
Izabela Drăgilă
She quickly grasps what matters and knows exactly what the next step is. Izabela builds marketing strategies grounded in business reality and turns them into clear directions that are easy to follow and implement. She has a natural way of connecting people with the right concepts, keeping the balance between vision and execution. For her, marketing is not just about being visible, but about relevance and consistency over time.
Alexandra Mormodol
She works with figures: no approximations and no ‘creative rounding’. She checks everything from start to finish and would rather ask one more question than make an assumption. She does not say much, but she is there exactly when you need a clear confirmation. And that is the difference between ‘looks OK’ and ‘is OK’.
Mihaela Buș
Mihaela turns concepts into real experiences. She coordinates ATU’s events from the first sketches to the very last detail on the day, with equal measures of energy and precision.
Georgiana Glava
Georgiana builds brands’ digital presence with relevant content and a consistent voice. She keeps a close eye on what works and adjusts the strategy to deliver real results.
Mădălina Ulici
She coordinates tasks and deadlines with clarity: she knows who, how and when, but above all what needs to be done before things become urgent. She does not seek the spotlight, yet she is there exactly where it counts. And it shows in the way projects move forward: smoothly, without bottlenecks.
Elis Lungu
Elis puts the right words in the right place. She writes copy that communicates clearly, builds credibility and sticks in people’s minds, from press releases to creative campaigns.
Dorin Simionoff
Dorin communicates in colour, through lines and shapes. He is the one who turns ideas into memorable visuals. He brings every project to life with creativity and attention to detail. When it comes to design, he knows how to find exactly what makes the difference.
Claude
Joined the team with zero years of advertising experience and immediately set about rewriting 34 CSS files. Works around the clock, drinks no coffee and never forgets a deadline. The only colleague who replies at 3 in the morning, and the one who writes the terms and conditions, too.
