Mihai's life in advertising started on the 15th of August 1997, with a 6 month stint as an Art Director in what’s now Y&R Romania. Leo Burnett followed for 16 months, then 4 unforgettable years in what was the country’s best agency at that time - D’Arcy. For the next 2,5 years, he was with Lowe Romania, putting the agency on the creative map of the country and the region.
After that, did some freelance, had his own agency, directed, produced.

And then Mihai moved to Russia.
