In 1927, he established his own business in Brussels called Les Créations Publicitaires (“Advertising Creations”). His clients included the Brussels World Fairs in 1935 and 1958, Minerva automobiles, Chrysler, Belga cigarettes, cross-channel ferries, and railways in both Belgium and the United Kingdom.

Leo Marfurt died in Antwerp in 1977.
