Message in a Bottle

• We are experts in emotional communication.

• Attention to change and quick reacting is part of our DNA! In the online world, we make our clients’ brands dream with strategically planned content and breathtaking images that are relevant to their consumer community.

  But most of all, we thrive on a good story, a story capable of gaining notoriety in a world full of narratives. We create unique content, we look for angles that no one else has explored, we analyze opportunities, and we put all that commitment and creativity to work for our clients.

  At the end of the day, when we close the Agency door… we want to feel that we touched someone, that we made a difference, that we made someone else dream and believe, that we made our clients‘ brands gain digital relevance and create an impact on their consumers in such a way that they identify emotionally with their services and products.

  Our projects
• 

• "One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things."

• Message in a Bottle was brought to live inspired in this idea of “destiny”. Due to our quest to always look at things from a new perspective, we traveled, and specialized in the Hotel Business, Tourism and Lifestyle industry.
