Graffiti Plus makes history as Romania's first communication agency to list on the stock exchange

Graffiti Plus S.A. has marked a significant milestone by debuting on the AeRO market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange on Thursday, July 16. This achievement makes Graffiti Plus the first company in the Romanian communication industry to reach the stock exchange, showcasing its extensive market experience of over 25 years.

The company’s shares are now available for trading under the ticker symbol GRF on the Multilateral Trading System of the Exchange. Graffiti Plus was the second company to be listed this year with support from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), reinforcing the belief that European funds can extend their impact beyond traditional grants, as noted by Dragoş Pîslaru, the Minister of Investments and European Projects.

During the private placement, which closed early after just three days due to overwhelming investor interest, 2,216,548 shares were subscribed, representing 8.14% of the company's share capital. The placement was marked by a 20% discount for subscriptions made within the first three days, validating the attractiveness of the GRF+ share as subscriptions exceeded 110% by the third day.

Graffiti Plus plans to utilize the capital raised from its listing to accelerate growth in three key business verticals: data-driven influencer marketing, sports & sponsorship, and pharma & healthcare communication. Moreover, the company aims to integrate AI technology into its operations, enhancing productivity and advisory services.

Graffiti Plus has a strong market presence, commanding approximately 14% of the local communication market. The agency has also been recognized for its excellence, having won the Agency of the Year title at the Romanian PR Award Gala four times in the last seven years and maintaining a position among the Top 5 communication agencies by revenue and profit in Forbes Romania for the past decade.

As it looks to the future, Graffiti Plus has set an estimated market value between 8.02 million EUR and 9.92 million EUR by the end of 2025. With a reported revenue of 64.7 million lei for 2025, a notable increase of 36% compared to 2024, the company continues to demonstrate its resilience and growth potential in a competitive landscape.
