Does it bring relevance, reputation, resonance? Does it bring utility? Does it bring a conversation or a fight? Does it bring a better planet? Does it bring a more efficient process? Does it bring savings? Does it bring a questioning of assumptions? Long term? Meaning? Impact? Does it bring a before and after?

This is how we approach every process at After. That’s why we find hard to define ourselves. We started out as an advertising agency but our clients have decided that we should be their strategic communication partner, helping them to think outside the box, and to execute like a real partner; “to tidy up and play the hooligan”, they said.

After 16 years, After has become one of the first independent creative agency in Spain, but also an adjective used by the one hundred people in the team and clients to describe a way of thinking and working. We say “this is After” or “it’s very After” and we understand each other.

Marc Ros

If there’s one thing that characterizes Marc Ros, with a wide-ranging career in the world of communication and advertising, it’s his strategic and disruptive perspective in building and managing brands.

His carrer has been focused on agencies such as Lorente, Wieden Kennedy, Euro RSCG (Havas), taking on different roles in both the creative and management sides, including general creative direction and vice presidency of the Havas Group in Spain.

Furthermore, he has actively promoted Branducers, the most important Branded Content event in Spain, as well as numerous sectoral and social initiatives.

That sums up his professional life. But if we dive into Marc’s personal side, we’ll find a devoted Barcelona FC fan and a passionate sports enthusiast.
