Andreas Treitl, MSc. COO

Andreas combines the technical and economic view on digital projects and is responsible for the quality assurance of all internal and external projects.

Always looking for new challenges, Andreas has found his way into agency life. During his technical education combined with economic aspects at the University of applied science Wiener Neustadt, Andreas worked for an IT investment consulting company, where he acquired the basic knowledge of programming for insurance solutions. During his master's degree, this allowed him to work for a German insurance company in the area of sales process management, which he did not miss. Thus, the longtime companion football was turned its back and the shoes were exchanged with a keyboard. With this experience and new friendships Andreas returned to Austria and worked on various insurance and SAP projects. He could spend more time in the mountains and pursue his passion for freeriding, where he leaves his marks in the deep snow every year. The urge to work creatively has always been present in Andreas and now it was time for him to pursue this chapter professionally. With a further education the journey into agency life began. Today, Andreas combines his experience with creative approaches to solutions and coordinates projects within the company. The belief in team play is not only evident in the projects, but also in playing basketball, where assists are just as important as baskets to win a game.

Balasz Borbely de Roff, MBA Senior Marketing Strategist

Balazs has always had a keen interest in marketing, although his early experiences were not exactly encouraging: At 23 years of age, he found himself Director of Marketing in Budapest at a corporate project, without relevant qualifications and weekly changing expectations from the project's initiators. In absence of opportunities to grow, he turned his attention to another lifetime passion: horses.

A lot of learning, steel banging and business development followed, but as a result he succeeded in completely re-booting the ailing industry of farriery (professional horseshoeing) in Hungary with the help of only a handful of others, gained experience working in Austria, instructed farrier apprentices in Hungary and Turkey; and collaborated with several veterinary surgeons in rehabilitating injured equine athletes worldwide. As an eternal seeker of progress and novelty, he moved to New Zealand in 2003.

He continued to build a successful career in orthopaedical horseshoeing and consulting in farriery there, but he has also returned to two of his other passions: entrepreneurship, and storytelling.
To build a solid foundation of knowledge of these subjects, Balazs attended university while working full time. He earned himself a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and later a Master of Business Administration in his new hometown, Auckland. He is also currently completing his Thesis for his second Master, in English and New Media Studies at AUT University (Auckland). His research topic is the discursive construction of personal brands on LinkedIn, where he investigates how people use discourse as a social practice and a tool for advancement with the latest linguistic software tools. He does the final stage of the work remotely from Austria, where his heart brought him back again, after nearly 30 years.

Balazs is passionate about the role of language and storytelling in business, marketing, and leadership. He feels himself at home in the company of people of any age, gender, or cultural background. He refers to himself as the only Hungarian Kiwi living in Austria and loves to connect people from around the globe to create new opportunities in business, science, or education - for all of us.

Horses, dogs, cats, children, and crazy people seem to like him, and he is quick to connect with people from high tech and traditional industries and business in general. However, he has a hard time refusing profiteroles or prolonged conversations about nearly any subject. He also drinks way too much coffee while working.

Simona Rusnakova SEA Expert

As a professional Google Ads consultant, I have learned that advertising on Google is not just about clicks and budgets, it's actually much more fun - creating ads which will come up in Google exactly at the time when people need them. 

Google is here to help people find answers to their queries, and Google Ads should contribute to this service by providing valuable information that will help people – and yes, they will end up buying your product or signing up for your service – because that's what they were actually looking for!

Having worked with dozens of Slovakian, Irish, UK, and US websites I gained lots of experience across a wide variety of sectors, including technology, e-commerce, education, and non-profit around the world.

Specialties: I think it's nothing special in marketing to listen to your customers. However, so few companies really ask their customers and prospects questions on their needs, wants and pains, and even fewer companies really try to respond to these. In my work I try to use your customer value proposition based on your customers' views and this, as our experience proves, always leads to positive results.
