A brand new integrated communication agency.
And already with over 40 years of experience.

Call it, if you will, evolution.

We are proud to be a company that handles integrated communication. From that very first day, many years ago, so many things have changed. We have learned to print, to work with graphics and photography, to make videos and to set-up trade fairs. We have studied marketing, web-marketing and e-commerce. We’ve thrown ourselves into social networking and we’ve even opened a publishing house. And this is just the beginning.

Our storyOur story

There once was a company.
Which then became two.
Which then became a single brand.

It would take too long to tell you in detail how we arrived from typography to integrated communication. So, we have tried to summarise our journey in a few important stages. Enjoy.

Seventyseven. Like before, but more than before.

Sometimes the simplest idea is also the best. Thus, Seventyseven is established, more than an integrated communication agency, it’s a new way of communicating. Seeing is believing.
