Our #10yearchallenge

We are sure you will agree with us: setting up a company is no easy task. And doing so in the midst of an economic crisis verges on pure recklessness. Well, that is exactly what Mihaela and yours truly did ten years ago. While the music of recession was playing on all TV sets and radios, we wrote the score for a business project – and almost a life one too!

The Efficy case: Team building in Ibiza

It’s Monday. Your mug still gives off the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The phone rings. You pick it up, fighting the slowness that comes with the first hours of Monday – it’s a customer calling: 140 people, an event of European scope, a company with delegations in seven countries and global presence and, on top of it, just a few weeks to organize it.

The Pitïuses archipelago is made up of the islands of Ibiza and Formentera and a group of islets, including S’Espalmador and Es Vedranell.
