Costas Mantziaris
Managing Partner & Co-Founder
Costas helps people & companies make better decisions and uncover business opportunities. That’s why in 2018 Costas and his co-founder, Giorgos Vareloglou, started REBORRN.

Prior, Costas was the Chief Executive of Isobar & iProspect in Greece. He launched Isobar & iProspect in 2015 after Dentsu Aegis Network acquired his company, Mindworks.

Along with his business partner Giorgos, they started Mindworks back in 2005. From a tiny, specialised, performance marketing agency they transformed it into the fastest growing and largest independent digital communications agency in Greece.

During Costas’ tenure, Isobar & iProspect won more than 100 awards globally along with the recognition of clients, peers and employees. In 2017, Costas’ & Giorgos’ innovative projects were featured in the Advertising Age.

In REBORRN, Costas - besides managing the company - has been involved in Strategy, CX and BPO projects for global clients like The Coca-Cola Company, Phillip Morris International, Bayer and more.

Although an introvert, Costas loves public speaking and teaching. He has been a speaker and trainer for more than a decade. From conferences to universities and seminars, he has trained more than 3.000 people in Greece and abroad.

Costas may have excelled in the “digital marketing” sector for the past 15 years, but solving real business challenges is what makes him 'get out of bed'. By merging data with intuition, he consults enterprise clients on how to build better experiences for their customers and achieve their goals.

George Vareloglou
Managing Partner & Co-Founder
Giorgos founded REBORRN along with his partner Costas Mantziaris to challenge how a modern consultancy should look like in the 21st century.

His story starts in 2005 when he co-founded Mindworks with Costas, creating one of the first search marketing agencies. Working together for a decade, they turned Mindworks from a boutique performance marketing agency into a leading full-service digital shop, growing a team of 5 people to a team of 50. In 2015 Mindworks was acquired by Dentsu Aegis Network launching isobar & iProspect in Greece. 2.5 years later and having established isobar & iProspect as market leaders with a team of 85 people he left with his partner to seek together their next venture; REBORRN.

His work has won hundreds of awards on a national and international level. He’s a regular speaker to industry conferences and, whenever finds the time, he writes about the things he’s most interested in, change, people and the digital economy. When he’s not working, besides being a proud husband and a father, he runs. A lot.

He never stops wondering what comes next.
