Digital marketing agency Realist Digital and event marketing agency Frank Events are joining forces. The aim of the partnership is to offer clients a broader range of services than ever before, combining Realist Digital’s strategy, marketing and creative execution with Frank Events’ event marketing expertise.
The partnership builds on previous collaboration across several projects. The partners at Frank Events share Realist Digital’s values, vision and commitment to their work. Investing in Realist Digital therefore felt like the natural next step.
“A great event shouldn’t exist only for one evening or a specific moment in time. Together with Realist, we can help clients take a much broader view of how an event supports their brand, communications and marketing objectives before, during and after the event. For us, this means a stronger team, while Frank’s clients benefit from an even more comprehensive, end-to-end solution,” confirms Taavi Puuorg, partner at Frank Events.
“I believe that new collaborations and strategic development initiatives are important driving forces in a company’s journey. The partnership between Realist and Frank will undoubtedly give our teams the opportunity to do even more exciting and ambitious things,” adds Birgit Karus, CEO and owner of Realist Digital.
Expanding International Business
The partnership will also support Realist Digital’s growth beyond Estonia. The agency will continue to expand its business in the German market, focusing on cultural, media and creative industry events, as well as conferences.
Working with Frank gives Realist a stronger competitive advantage in Germany and enables the agency to offer potential clients a comprehensive, 360-degree solution.
Realist Digital has previously marketed several international events, including the Tallinn Digital Summit and Germany-based film festivals B3 Biennale and Black Forest Film Festival.
Developing AI Capabilities
Alongside its international expansion, Realist Digital remains focused on digital marketing services while continuing to develop its AI capabilities.
The goal is not simply to use individual tools, but to build a comprehensive AI-powered workflow model. Based on the company’s own expertise, this system is designed to make content production, advertising management and analytics more efficient and intelligent.
A Partnership That Goes Beyond Collaboration
The partnership extends beyond a conventional cooperation agreement. Frank Events has acquired an ownership stake in Realist Digital OÜ.
For Frank Events, this represents a strategic investment in Realist Digital’s vision and future. Shared ownership aligns the long-term interests of both companies and ensures that strategy and execution continue to move towards the same goals for years to come.
