The combined teams will work in close liaison so as to make the best use of the most valuable resources of the two organisations in addition to developing efficient solutions matching the needs of our clients,” explains Zbigniew Szczerbetka, Advisory Managing Partner in Deloitte Central Europe. “Together with Stratosfera experts, we will support our clients in confronting the most demanding challenges and offer them assistance in development of innovative marketing strategies that are not only perfectly suited to their business objectives but also based on perfect knowledge of the market, resulting from extensive experience and skilful use of advanced research techniques for purposes of analysing the needs of target client groups and trends in each category.”
