About me

Levente co-founded his Hungary-based indie agency 14 years ago after stints at HKB Bozell and JWT Budapest. He is a strategic thinker and a problem solver, who has developed strong and compelling brand narratives for clients such as: Heineken, Shell, KitKat, Vodafone, WWF.

His work has been recognized at multiple shows including Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Clio, LIA, NYF, Epica, Mobius, Effies, Webby; he's also been honoured to judge many of the industry's major contests from Young Guns to Cannes Lions.

During his career he's achieved several 'firsts' for the Hungarian industry - including the first Hungarian piece of work to make the cover of Luerzer's Archive and winning the country's first Platina Effie for long-term effectiveness.

Nowadays White Rabbit Budapest is the most awarded, internationally most acclaimed independent creative agency of Hungary.

While helping brands and businesses embrace purpose-driven strategies and ideas, he's a keen advocate of raising creative standards, and nurture talented individuals. A guest lecturer at the Budapest Business University, he also runs a blog about advertising history (Reklamtortenet - Advertising Chronicles) and translates marketing and advertising books into Hungarian to educate the next generation of creative hopefuls.

His most important audience - his wife, son and daughter - describes him as "the most important man in the whole wide world".
