The joint-stock company Rapid is one of the oldest Czech advertising agencies. Its beginnings reach back into the period after the founding of Czechoslovakia in the early 1900s, when it was founded as an agency for print advertising that later began to operate as a full-service advertising agency. During the years 1989 – 2002 the company underwent a number of transformations, and since the end of 2002 it has been a private joint-stock company.

Our company is the representative of several foreign trade fair administrations for the Czech Republic – IF Plovdiv (Bulgaria), VEFAC Hanoi (Vietnam), ROMEXPO Bucharest (Romania), The Siberian Fair (Novosibirsk) and IFP Group Ltd. Erbil (Iraq).

An integral part of our offering is the providing of full service, especially for small and mid-sized companies, graphics and printing services, securing of gift and advertising items, and the securing of outdoor advertising – neon lights, billboards, advertising on rooftops, bridges, and municipal navigation and information systems.
