From Dusk till Dawn

Barcelona/Sencur, July 26th 2005       The history of our newest member agency sounds like a movie.  The ComVort Group – Europe’s leading network of independent advertising agencies continues opening up doors into new markets.  Today the network would like to introduce its newest member Creatim Rzisnik Perc based in Sencur, Slovenia.

The story of Creatim begins back in 1991, when two students of architecture, Andrej Rzisnik and Andrej Perc founded a creative studio. Outside the office, former Yugoslavia was literally falling apart. Starting a company in times when Slovenia, a newly born brake-away state, was at war with the rest of Yugoslavia, looked pretty insane. The company had no money, no clients and no perspective. But it had two crazy enthusiastic owners. And they had hope!

From Yugoslavian Dusk till Slovenian Dawn

Slovenian economic potential begun to unfold soon after the short war was over. The market was hungry for professional services so the company was growing fast. In first days, both partners took every client and were willing to do anything – from business card design to construction plans. As business grew, more profiled activities emerged from the blur of initial portfolio. The most established services begun to spin-off, forming new, specialized companies. While still remaining partners, the professional paths of both founders split. Andrej Rzisnik formed Protim, an architecture and engineering company, and Andrej Perc took over Creatim, a creative communication agency. Today 16 people are currently employed in Creatim. Their success is built on creativity and teamwork, which gains its power from the specialities of each and every individual. Their struggling and hard work yields fruits.

To date the entire Rzisnik Perc Group is composed of three independents enterprises: Protim (project in the area of space development), Infotim (Informatics) and Creatim (Marketing) and its gross income exceeds four million euro.

Recollecting Mr Rzisnik’s & Mr Perc’s skills, as a matter of course, the Rzisnik Perc Group is accomodated in their own custom-built business centre where they moved in 1999.

Since its foundation as a stand-alone company, Creatim focuses on Corporate Identity, Branding and Designing Creative Content. “We support Slovenian companies in promoting their products and services on international markets and vice-versa: We help international clients managing their brands in Slovenia”, informed Andrej Perc. “We specialize in marketing complex services, in financial, tourist, IT and business sector. By using unique combination of creativity, expertise and technology, we leverage our clients to build meaningful interaction with their buyers and prospects.” And since service philosophy increasingly penetrates in traditionally product-oriented sectors, the company’s client list is getting longer.

In 2003, the “Gospodarski Vestnik” business magazine, which administers the Netko Award for the best business web presentation of the current year, chose the NLB Web Portal from among four others finalists. Creatim Rzisnik & Perc Agency designed the Web Portal in cooperation with Intest Celje. The user value of the Gold-Awarded Nova Ljubljanska Banka web site is reflected in the site’s logical and clear navigation. The Nova Ljubljanska Banka’s web site is yet more proof that Slovenia can compete with the most developed countries in the field of its web site production capabilities.  
 
To sum up, the ComVort Central would like to welcome Creatim Rzisnik & Perc in the ComVort Group, and wishing them a not just a first prosperous year but also a very successful and fruitful future within the network and their thriving Slovenian market. Creatim could not have chosen a more opportune time to join ComVort, as ComVort continues growing and is near the scope of its aim of being present in every pole of the world. Creatim can expect an active and innovative year as the ComVort’s Slovenia representative and takes great advantage of its international backgroung while maintening its entire independence.
