At the latest Hellenic advertising festival, they won two Gold Ermies, three Silvers and a Bronze.

Clients speak very highly of the company, too:

• T. Liarmakopoulos, Vice President JWT Thompson: 'I envy your work so much that I would like to be the one to do it.'
• A. Kocheilas, General Manager, Bold / Ogilvy Athens: 'A famous photographer said that in a photograph there are always two people: the photographer and the viewer. Working with Kitao makes you realise the need for a third, the producer.'
• Phil Poynter, Photographer, Davidoff Cool Water worldwide campaign: 'You did an amazing job under quite stressful conditions, and more importantly, you managed to produce all the equipment we asked for, when I know it is not readily available in Greece the way it is in New York. I really hope I get the chance to work with you again'.
