As proud members of the Greek branding and design community, we also see the value in expanding our perspective and engaging with a global network. This is exactly what we experienced at the last EPDA conference — a sense of shared purpose and collective growth. It convinced us that we belong in this group, and we’re excited to join forces with other like-minded agencies to shape the future of our industry together."
