Most of my friends and colleagues in the Romanian digital industry know me as Anda Bogdan. Currently, I’m what some would call ‘digital business transformation consultant’ & founder @ Business Booster.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve started my career as a copywriter back in 1999, working for Vision Advertising.\u00a0 It\u2019s there where I learned the first tricks of the trade thanks to two great talented creative guys, Stefan Ferenzci and Calin Georgescu. One year later I took a chance on exploring unknown territory, by joining OgilvyInteractive, the first interactive agency in Romania, part of a global group. Gradually I took over other roles such as information architect and content strategist.<\/p>\n

10 years of building digital capabilities on the client’ side<\/h3>\n

In 2001 I made another surprising shift and left the agency to join Zapp, the first CDMA telecom operator in Europe. I did not know then that I would be spending the next ten years on the client side, developing eBusiness departments from scratch and adding value to services for some of the most agile clients in telecom, banking (ING Bank Romania), media (KanalD \/ Dogan Group) and e-commerce (Altex & MediaGalaxy) industries.<\/p>\n

Back to Agency Life<\/h3>\n

For some of you reading this is no secret that in 2011 I accepted an offer impossible to say no to. How could I have said no to three really smart, good-looking and innovative guys I admired and worked with for years? Therefore there I was once again on the agency side, teaming up and dreaming with the amazing people at Grapefruit<\/a>, the most internationally awarded digital product development and branding agency in Romania.<\/p>\n

April 2014 marked the beginning of another incredible chapter of my life. I’ve joined R\/GA<\/a> \u00a0as the first General Manager of Bucharest office. It was the Agency I had been admiring since the ’90 for its surprising and innovative work. It’s common knowledge for those familiar with the agency world that throughout its history R\/GA has reinvented itself every nine years. Consequently, you can understand why for a while it had been amazing to get to know its secrets and some really amazing people.<\/p>\n

Chakana.me – my digital love project<\/h3>\n

“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” (Forrest Gump)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In October 2016 I’ve made another change\u2014surprising for some, expected for others, and decided to start my own entrepreneurial adventure of growing and scaling Chakana.me<\/a>, a personal transformation project aiming to help people heal and live their lives to the fullest potential.<\/p>\n

Consulting on business transformation projects<\/h3>\n

In October 2017 I’ve started my own digital consultancy company called Business Booster.\u00a0<\/em>It helps clients understand how digital actually works. There are some major areas where I can use the best of my professional experience. From small to large projects, here are the top 5 main areas:<\/p>\n
