The team
ADRIAN MĂNIUȚIU
MANAGING PARTNER
Ambassador of Entrepreneurship within the Antreprenor 2020 project, I am an entrepreneur in constant search of new opportunities and ideas. I was born in Cluj-Napoca in 1979, and I studied Business and Marketing in Germany.
I worked in investments and real estate development fields. About 10 years ago I established PhotoMedia – later transformed into the EM360 GROUP – an expanding agency focused on creative marketing, media productions, communication, and reputational management. I have also gained a vast experience in television, both as a TV producer, and presenter, as well as a co-producer, and format developer.
Thus, as part of the group, EM360 Studio was launched in 2019 – a web-TV channel focusing on premium sets of productions in infotainment, business/entrepreneurship and talk fields.
BOGDAN SAVIUC
MANAGING PARTNER
My story has begun 15 years ago with my first job in the graphics department of one of the biggest TV stations in Romania.
That was the department where I grew for almost 10 years, during which time, in addition to developing my job-specific skills, I also had the opportunity to develop my management skills, strategic vision, and tactical thinking. Six years ago, I have embarked in the entrepreneurship journey with Celestin, who has been my colleague and friend for more than 28 years.
Our business offers full digital services, from strategy to analytics, from design to execution. It is time to take a new step, to move from a service niche to an integrated 360 solution – something we will do without resentment, as part of the EM360 Group.
CELESTIN ASTĂLUȘ
PARTNER, VIDEO & DIGITAL DIRECTOR
What I like about what I do is that my job is defined by 3 elements: creativity, attention to details, and solution delivery.
From the very beginning of my career, 15 years ago, I can say that I have discovered these attributes in my essence as a person. I like to intertwine the video and graphics production with the actual part based on solutions and results. I believe that the two parts are interconnected, as are the services that we now provide as EM360 GROUP. In the century of speed, I think it is highly important to be able to deliver top quality content, up-to-date video executions, niche audiences, cost-effective solutions, and the results promised.
That’s what we do. From a professional point of view, I like to say that I am a friend of the customer, not just a business partner.
MĂDĂLINA NEAMU
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I like to believe that all the steps I have taken so far, and the professional changes I have made during my 14 years of career have helped me become the professional I am today.
I have devoted the first 10 years to learning, I went through multiple roles from communication strategy to trade marketing, advertising production, account management, brand management, key account director & managing director, thus building a 360˚-vision on the field I have chosen to work in: Marketing and Communication. I believe both professionally and personally in communication, transparency, and accountability.
These principles make me the person who can bring together complex projects, dynamic teams, and happy customers.
BIANCA ANA MARIA ASTĂLUȘ
PROJECT MANAGER
I have always wanted to find a place that offers me a multitude of activities that bring along new challenges, to keep me up like a book of Daniel Kahneman.
The wide range of services that the EM360 Group offers brought something extra at the time I decided to join the team. Photography has always been one of my passions, which I happily practice when I’m hiking in the mountains. I have always been captivated by communication, media, marketing, and advertising – specializations that I pursed at faculty as well.
Over the years I worked as contributing editor and multimedia coordinator – fields that have added to my adaptability and punctuality in everything I did.
ANDREEA GHEORGHE
ACCOUNT MANAGER
I like puns, stories and expressions of all kinds. Nothing stands in my way when it comes to organization and I can easily take the first prize for stubbornness.
Graduate of the Master of Brand Management and Corporate Communication, with 4 years of experience in management, marketing and advertising, I am glad to have discovered the satisfaction that developing a project and working in a team gives you. I am an open and optimistic person, a France and croissants lover!
The EM360 GROUP team appeared when I least expected it, and yet there couldn’t be a better time. A dynamic team with which I want to develop as many and diverse projects as possible in the future.
DANIEL ANTAL
VIDEO PRODUCTION & WEB DEVELOPMENT
I am passionate about cinematography and literature, with a diverse career in media. I’ve run long distances and participated in numerous marathons, reflecting my perseverance.
My professional experience includes 3 years as an editor for entertainment shows and 9 years as a graphic designer at a news television station. Since 2017, I’ve been part of the EM360 team, where I’ve found the perfect environment for creativity and innovation alongside Bogdan and Celestin.
I am an introverted, pragmatic, and extremely punctual person. Dedicated and meticulous, I always honor my professional commitments.
OANA MĂNIUȚIU
SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I like to create, and I have always known that. I have refined my artistic vision at the Faculty of decorative arts and design from Bucharest and I accumulated a varied experience in the 14 years of working in the business; today I reached a balance between the creative and the professional live, or more simply put: I deliver original creations that reflect the client’s brief, even if the deadlines are urgent. Through my creations I’d like to convey emotions and make people take action.
Therefore, most of my dear projects are from the „packaging” area, ads layouts and not only. I love brainstorming with my colleagues, discussing on the agency terrace and the creative concepts.
ȘTEFANIA IVAN
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
For me, design isn’t just a career – it’s a way of life that fuels my passion and drives me to explore new possibilities. As I continue to make my way in the world of graphic design, I’m excited for the journey ahead.
Known for my collaborative spirit and willingness to learn, I embrace each project as an opportunity to grow and evolve as a designer.
Whether exploring new techniques or seeking inspiration from the world around me, I am constantly pushing myself to expand my creative horizons and make a meaningful impact through my work.
BIANCA VOINEA
CONTENT & PRODUCTION / JOURNALIST
I come from a long line of journalists, so, practically, it’s in my blood. 😄
For almost 15 years I have worked in communication projects and content development for tv, written press, online and offline. If I described myself in 3 words, I would choose: dedicated (not to say workaholic😂), creative (I have a colourful imagination, without being crazy 😂) and professional (not to brag 😂).
ADELINA DINU
SENIOR COPYWRITER
I have been working in advertising as a copywriter for almost 10 years and I absolutely love stories, whether I write them or read them. Initially I wanted to become an investigative journalist, after graduating from the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences at the University of Bucharest. Then I graduated with a master’s degree in advertising, and I realized I am a creative person.
My calling was way stronger to express myself creatively. I worked in advertising agencies for corporate clients, but also for local or independent ones. I’m glad that I can be a voice for the brands and projects I truly believe in and I always make sure that they communicate their essence in an authentic way that reaches the people who need them.
Besides copywriting and my love for writing stories, I am a yoga teacher for adults and children and a creator of felt dolls for my soul project called Muțunache.
ANA ZAMBORI
SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I am Ana Zambori and I am a creation person 24/24, I am an architect and art director, sometimes together, sometimes separately. I was born and I took up residence in Bucharest. I graduated from the University of Architecture and Urbanism Ion Mincu from Bucharest – the Architecture section – and I refined my knowledge and creative and technical researches through studies in Lisbon and architecture practice in Barcelona. I currently perform my interdisciplinary activity both on my own, in personal and freelance projects, in architecture and design competitions, and in cooperation with creation studios.
I get involved and I create projects that are structured, imagined and substantiated very well, I am looking to marry the concept with the tech part. I constantly explore my curiosity, experimenting weird ideas and innovative techniques and my ’soft spot’ is playing with the plans and the architectural forms, 3d views and animations and illustrations.
DAN GECUI
VIDEOGRAPHER & D.O.P.
Cameraman. The wiseman in this gathering. It is a delicate way to say I am old, as I am reminded at every turn. I have filmed for 22 years, after I gave up the military uniform, and I convinced myself that working with images is great for people who have more difficulty handling words, but nevertheless would like to say something. I worked in television for more than 16 years, at the news. I sat for hours on the kerbs at the prosecutor’s office, waiting for statements, I filmed also in Iraq and Afghanistan, I made live transmissions at elections, in Romania and abroad, but I also filmed floods, accidents or for economic or social reportages.
I have been freelancing for 7 years, and the collaboration with EM360 and Adi Măniuțiu came due to our common television roots, where our roads crossed a little, if any. And, although I had no history with the EM 360 team, it turned out we work extremely well together. At least this is how I see things; I hope they see it, too.
NICOLETA BUZĂ
ACCOUNT MANAGER
Letter University, Communications and Public Relations Master, 15 years in insurance market, Specialized trainings in Project Management, a specialized diploma in external politics in IDR.
What do all these have in common? The desire to learn, to be among people and to communicate. I like challenges, starting activities I believe in seriousness and involvement and especially in team’s power. This helped me to become a specialist in Project Management and Optimisations.
Even if it sounds as an exact science, it needs a lot of creativity to find best solutions. I like to believe that in EM360 we are a puzzle. Each of us is an essential piece. We are building step by step, and in the middle, there is the CLIENT.
PAVEL AILENEI
WEBDESIGN,PHOTOGRAPHY
I started taking pictures as a hobby during high school, and I’ve always loved the idea of capturing and conveying what I observe. Over time, I began to explore this passion more deeply and inevitably ended up using Adobe software. I dabbled in various editing ideas in Photoshop, then gradually evolved to After Effects and Premier.
Later, I discovered WordPress thanks to the influence of Celestin, Bogdan and Antal. This is where I started to further develop my visual skills, being able to create websites from scratch based on my own ideas.
It’s a great creative experience, helping me to express my thoughts and ideas in a unique way. I am a passionate visual designer and always looking for new ways to develop.
IULIAN BĂRBULESCU
I have worked in digital communication and brand for 12 years; during this time, I have developed more than 50 existing brands by campaigns, and I have created from scratch more than 25 brands under product status. From the very beginning I liked to mix up strategy and creation – the why and the how. This is what I enjoy doing also together with the EM360 team for its projects and clients. I was attracted by the team’s consistency and professionalism and management, but also by the quality and innovation culture.
At EM360 you know for sure they will try something new, a content and communication with impact for audiences. During my spare time, I enjoy walking my Golden Retriever, Jesse, and I also make – I daresay – the best pasta carbonara in Bucharest. In Romania they make very good pasta carbonara at Cluj, but I am not competing with them.

It’s really not easy to speak correctly! And I realised this after I had my first diction class a few years ago, when I decided to take advantage of my voice in some way. And lo and behold, after a while, 2 intensive years of diction to be exact, I broke the ice of TV news.
Don’t forget to smile! Me, that’s what I do all the time… The rest comes naturally 🙂

IOANA RĂDUCA
ref. Communication Specialist
I worked in television for 16 years. The newsroom was practically the place where I grew up professionally. I worked as editor, reporter, reporting and survey producer, editor, head of section, coordinator of special campaigns and projects, presenter/moderator, deputy editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief. I met hundreds of people, I covered topics from different fields: Event, Political, Economy: floods, accidents, medical premieres, elections, legislative amendments, but most part of work television was related to Social, especially Health. I graduated from the Faculty of Journalism and now I teach television there. I have learned for more than a year what it means to work in a PR and Marketing Agency. Now I manage projects that share one point: communication. If I could, I would travel 11 months out of 12 every year and I envy people who turned it into a job, I am a Cognitive Sciences enthusiast, I’ve started to decipher them with academic guidance and I am sure I would be on the podium if they ever decide to organize a World Cup for watching documentaries and movies.
