A country branding initiativeaimed to promote the mostsuccessful (traditional andmodern) Romanian brands

first within Romania andthen to the rest of the world.

The event was the journalis-tic initiative of SaptamanaFinanciara magaine (headedby Mihai Craiu as GeneralManager) and supported byMEDIA CONSULTA INTERNA-TIONAL (with Mihai Craiu asPGD) with the long term goalof supporting Romanian Val-

ues and becoming a strongcommunication channel forour country brand. Nowa-days, six years after, MEDIACONSULTA INTERNATIONALis still loyal to that long-termgoal: promoting the Roman-ian values both within andoutside the country.

32 l

For the past 20 years Mihai Craiu orchestrated the launch and developmentof some of the most important Media Channels of the Romanian market. Heheld various Editorial, PR, Sales and Management positions. Thus his style ofmanagement reconciles both the editorial and commercial sides of the mediabusiness and makes the most out of this convergence.

In his past experience he headed Business Development for the main TV

channels: PRO TV, Antena 1, Antena 3, Antena 1 Constanta. During 2001 2008 Mihai Craiu orchestrated the positioning of Jurnalul National dailymagaine as Number 1 on the Romanian daily quality newspaper market (interms of readership, circulation and reputation).

In 2004 he was one of the three founders of the Business Magaine Sapta-mana Financiara; which he transformed (as General Manager and Share-holder) into the Business Press market leader dethroning the previous 15

years old leader, Capital.

He was the first to innovate within the media industry and turn the crisis

upside down. In 2009, a year when all media producers were facing the peakof the financial crisis Mihai Craiu launched Realitatea Barter Deals. Followingits success, all Media Sales for REALITATEA TV and Romantica TV have beenoutsourced to MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONAL (the full service businessconsultancy firm that Mihai Craiu founded seven years ago).

Innovation, challenging the market and swimming against the current whenvision dictates, is a part of his DNA:2011 was a time when all media producers looked mostly to protect their in-

vestment and felt threatened by the uncertain economic times, coupled with

the fast pace of the technological development.Yet Mihai Craiu reframed the industry again, by founding two more challeng-ing media products: Realitatea Constanta (the main territorial TV channel inDobrogea) and the Television School Tudor Vornicu, a New Media Lab at the

forefront of fusion journalism, with focus on Social TV.

vestments) into a relevant opportunity(media barter) and make good use of the newmarkets needs (media consumption with dif-

ferent, easier and more flexible payment op-tions).

RMBD is managing investments for clients inthe following fields: Auto, FMCG, Retail Bank-ing, Insurance, and Travel.

I strongly believe in thetouristic and business poten-tial of the Southern Romani-an Region. We intend toempower it with the mostimportant News andBusiness analysis regionalchannel

REALITATEA TVCONSTANTA.

l 39

REALITATEA TV CONSTANTA fulfils a need in the SouthernRegion of Romania for a niche TV channel: the News, Analy-sis and Business Information Television. I believe in thestrong touristic and business potential of the Southern Re-gion of Romania and I know that at the present time newsand analysis programming were supplied by the general con-tent TV channels. However, there is an important need onthe market for a dedicated News Television (Mihai Craiu)

The TV Channel is equipped with the latestBritish technology and it is also the first localchannel to produce local TV Debates andShows. The Media Sales services are man-aged by MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNA-TIONALs Sales Division and provide an

estimated 150 000 EUR per year income.

REALITATEA TV CONSTANTA is an additionto the other Media business lines launchedby Mihai Craiu to enhance the holistic ap-proach of MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNA-TIONALs Services at the forefront of theMedia market: The Media Sales Department,the Social Television School (TV), and theBarters Bank (RMBD).

Craius main objective for TvF. The school ispreparing well rounded media specialists: digitalnatives with strong traditional media background.

A heart ache, a pain in the backand a continuous challenge

l 51

Jurnalul National was a heart ache, a back pain and a con-tinuous challenge! Together with Marius Tuca, the EditorialManager we wanted to make it the newspaper Romaniansand Romanian culture identify with. The most Influential,Trustworthy and Loved. We were permanently thinking howto attract more readers while keeping our guiding values

In the summer of 2005, when the SNA (The National Bureauof Readership Auditing) results clearly stated that we hadreached 1 Million readers, we knew it was not the finish lineat all; it was just another beginning of another heart ache,another back pain. We knew we had now an even biggerchallenge: to permanently meet the expectation of those 1Million readers and even always exceed them.

Mihai Craiu headed Jurnalul National 2001 - 2008 as a General Manager. It

has been his main challenge to make Jurnalul National (on the fifth positionat the time) the Number one Romanian newspaper (among quality press).

TESTIMONIALS

VALENTIN NICOLAUVice-president (Chairman) EUROPA FMProject manager for Lagardere GroupFormer TVR President

I am aware of MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONALs accomplishments in thelast several years now and I can say with no hesitation that everythingachieved during all these years is defined under one word: quality. Even whenit worked with companies that had almost no potential, speaking in terms ofpublicity, MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONAL succeeded in finding the appro-priate resources and transformed them into successful media. When it comesto Europa FM Radio Station, which has a specific target that has never been

valued, I am sure that if MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONAL would take overthe sales department it would succeed in short time to induce the necessary

means for a public radio in order to develop projects specific for the broadcasts station. When speak-ing about MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONAL, one speaks about Mihai Craiu. He is the founding mem-ber of this successful company and in my opinion Mihai Craiu represents success and is the guaranteeof achieving the best results on the media market. The company can deliver a well built in concept

which brings important income for a media channel.

GABI VRANCEANU FIREA

Manager of SAPTAMANA FINANCIARAGeneral Manager of the Weekly Magaine FELICIA

As an editing manager of Saptamana Financiara I have constantly workedwith MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONAL and personally with its General Man-ager Mihai Craiu. I could say a lot of words about this co-operation that hasbeen very successful but I will stick to one, only: Professionalism. Together

with promptness, creativity, a permanent source of inspiration, correctness.In a business co-operation all these aspects are vital, also honesty eventhough people with whom we collaborate place this characteristic among the

last ones. As a General Manager of the magaine Felicia I worked and will work as much as possiblewith MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONAL. We have great results even though we are at the beginning,

we are working as if we had years of experience. We also partnered with MEDIA CONSULTA INTER-NATIONAL for the event organied at the Romanian Athenaeum: Most Successful Romanian Brands,we launched the Romanian Successful Brands Catalogue which is now in libraries and it has a signif-icant number of sold copies. But above all these results, which one may count as being financial innature, for me personally the essential fact is that I received congratulations from the business envi-ronment.

ASIROM is the largest insurancecompany in Romania. Our profes-sional partner is MEDIA CONSULTAINTERNATIONAL since they provedto be very fast, very professionaland very creative. This is a require-ment for an insurance company: to

react to the market very fast and very professionally. As anAustrian, I am used to high quality and professionalismtherefore when it comes to IMC I will stick with MEDIACONSULTA INTERNATIONAL.

RADU PETRICOfficial representativeof NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC in Romania

We collaborated with Media Consulta in a very creative man-ner in sales. Mihai Craiu convinced us he will bring newclients and as we were a TV station at the beginning inmedia sales on the Romanian market we have looked for

collaborators who could introduce us to this market. For-tunately this happened through Media Consulta. There werenumerous situations in which we talked about the ideal

viewers profile for our TV Station and Media Consulta wasa real help and showed us the means to do this so that wecan bring clients to start this business. We practicallystarted this business with the help of Media Consulta.Mihai Craiu knew the media market, we where new and hisexperience for us was essential in starting the business andnow National Geographic is among the best TV Stations andis on the same level with Discovery Channel. This is a much

better positioned TV station than

the one that came 3 years ago inRomania. We thank him for offeringto us through his help the possibil-ity to catch up with the best TVStations and now to even compete

with them.

Romania is one of the countries with high

entrepreneurial potential within the EasternEurope and high entrepreneurial expecta-tions.

Also, when it comes to internationaliation,Romania and Croatia are at the high end inthe Region, selling to customers outsidetheir economies.

On an average, entrepreneurs here sell out-side their national borders to one third oftheir customer base.

International Lobby Initiatives

Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, the fa-mous American investigative journalists arecoming to Romanian to discuss with the Ro-manian Media their most impactful Investiga-tive efforts: reporting on the Watergatescandal. Their works led to numerous gov-ernment investigations, the indictment of a

vast number of White House Officials (suchas H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, CharlesColson, and John Mitchell) and the eventualresignation of President Richard Nixon.

Their visit to Romania comes as a positiveresponse to the invitation of Mihai Craiu,

with MEDIA CONSULTA INTERNATIONAL or-ganiing the event.

However, while in emerging markets therate of entrepreneurial start-ups is muchhigher than in mature economies, the rate of

failure is high as well.Navigating through such environments im-plies a higher risk rate and involves.Being prepared to work more, harder andsmarter.Knowing when to take radical decisions.Being permanently aware of the results onesactions have on the business and being ableto take responsibility for ones entrepreneur-ial decisions.

A successful entrepreneur in such markets isa 24 out of 24 hours job.
