Marketing agency Stor9, founded by Robert Lewandowski, is reportedly facing financial difficulties after several contractors claimed they have not been paid for their services for months.
According to journalists Paweł Figurski and Jakub Styczyński from the Polish outlet Zero.pl, a number of suppliers and freelancers working with the agency are still waiting for payments despite previously agreed deadlines and issued invoices.
Contractors Waiting Months for Payment
The investigation suggests that some collaborators have been waiting several months to receive compensation for completed work. Among the affected parties are freelancers as well as smaller companies, for whom the missing payments represent a serious financial burden.
Some contractors also claim that communication with the company has become increasingly difficult. According to testimonies quoted by the outlet, several individuals have struggled to reach the agency and receive updates regarding the delayed payments.
One employee reportedly told Zero.pl:
“I’ve been waiting for my invoice to be paid for half a year. They don’t reply to emails or phone calls. I feel powerless.”
Because of the ongoing delays, some creditors are now considering legal action or the use of debt collection agencies to recover the money they are owed.
Company Admits Financial Liquidity Problems
Management at Stor9 has acknowledged that the company is currently dealing with liquidity issues. According to internal explanations, the problems were partly caused by the loss of a key client and a more challenging environment in the marketing industry.
The agency says it is currently negotiating settlements and gradually repaying outstanding obligations to its business partners.
Lewandowski Informed About the Situation
While Robert Lewandowski is not believed to be involved in the daily management of the agency, reports indicate that the Barcelona striker was informed about the financial problems several months ago.
According to the journalists, Lewandowski ordered an internal financial analysis and began exploring the possibility of bringing in an external investor to stabilize the company and resolve the situation.
The story has quickly become a major talking point in Polish media, raising questions about the future of the agency and its ability to settle its debts.
