Home is where the heart is – we are proud to announce DK HOME presented by A1, where we celebrate everything our local industry has to offer.



 In a luscious oasis tucked away in the middle of Zagreb, DK HOME presented by A1 is a celebration of the local market. The DK spin-off event will be the place where we will share local insights and honour the best Croatian projects at the award shows for Effie, MIXX, IdejaX and Young Lions!



<h2>WHAT – ALL THINGS LOCAL</h2>



The love for our wonderful community of creatives and nonconformists will come to fruition in the form of DK HOME presented by A1, where the emphasis is on the best local experts, local ideas and local awards. You can expect an outburst of love on every corner – but with no hugging and kissing, we’re not into it at the moment.



<h2>WHERE – IDEAL HIDEOUT</h2>



DK HOME presented by A1 will find its… well, home at the popular Tuškanac Summer Stage (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://goo.gl/maps/KkxQiyhh4NU5cTsJ9" target="_blank">Ljetna pozornica Tuškanac, Dubravkin put bb</a>), a beautiful amphitheatre with a glorious stage perfect for giving victory speeches and a bar with a large terrace for all the informal professionals out there. Friendly warning: it can get windy late at night, so wear light clothing and high heels at your own risk!



<h2>WHEN – SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM</h2>



We are gathering on 14 and 15 June 2021 to enjoy warm summer nights. We know it’s not technically summer, but let’s have fun and play pretend. The gathering will start at 6 PM, but we expect you to arrive by at least 7 PM (and when we say expect, we really mean it!) to attend the amazing panel discussions on the ins and outs of the communications industry, while 9 PM is award shows time. By 11 PM the victorious night will reach new heights at the bar.



<h2>WHO – JUST US</h2>



This is an event for all of us working in the communications industry, including agencies, brands, the media and alike, who wish to enjoy themselves safely, applaud their colleagues whose projects swept the strong competition, and, naturally, for all the competitors eager to take the stage and leave with a prestigious award in their hand. 



<h2>HOW – SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY</h2>



You can claim your seat at the wooden benches of the amphitheatre by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1uMULulJ_R1bI8pA2Wjw6z8wCs5h1QRzIv5eIOAUhTTY/edit?urlBuilderDomain=danikomunikacija.com&amp;gxids=7628" target="_blank">REGISTERING HERE</a>. We know all of you want to come, but even with adhering to the relevant epidemiological measures* and this being an outdoor event held outside in the open, the number of attendees will be limited. Only those who register first will be able to attend, so make sure to book your spot with a nominal attendance fee of 199 HRK + VAT for one night or 349 HRK + VAT for both nights – with a free welcome drink with every ticket! For the ones who were not so lucky with reserving their seats, it’s not all doom and gloom – we will have a waiting list for you. If you already have your ticket for DK festival in Rovinj, please note that DK HOME presented by A1 is a separate event and your tickets do not apply to it. If the event gets cancelled, don’t worry because you will receive a full refund. If the weather or anything else decides to rain on our parade and the event gets postponed, your ticket is valid for the new date(s) as well. Those that cannot make the new date(s) will receive a full refund.

<h2>LEADERS ON THE TOP</h2>



The numerous panels will be all about the present and the future of the communications industry. The panellists will cover an array of topics relevant to your business interests, so we expect you to be all ears in order to catch all the pearls of wisdom the industry experts will share with you.&nbsp; 



And that’s not even the best part. Our esteemed panellists
will be engaging in intriguing conversations from the top! You’ll know what
we’re on about when you get there… let’s just say it’s going to be an interesting
discussion.



<h2>TAKE THE CROWN</h2>



We know you’re all hyped up to find out who will be crowned as this year’s best of the best. There will be four award shows in total, two a night. Each of the four award shows celebrates a different aspect of market communications, but they do share a common thread – all the winners will be showered with confetti, positive vibes and rounds of applause to ensure they remember their big night forever. 



On 14 June, effectiveness will come to the forefront at the prestigious <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.effie.hr/" target="_blank">Effie Croatia Award Show</a>, while those who have conquered the digital stratosphere will get their spotlight at the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://danikomunikacija.com/awards/mixx" target="_blank">MIXX Croatia Award Show</a>.



On 15 June, the time is ripe for creativity to prosper at the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://danikomunikacija.com/awards/idejax" target="_blank">IdejaX Award Show</a>, and the cherry on top will be placed by the next generation of the communications industry at the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://danikomunikacija.com/awards/young-lions" target="_blank">Young Lions Award Show</a>.



<h2>FRIENDS OF THE COMMUNITY</h2>



This event would not be possible without A1, the general sponsor of DK HOME. We thank them and each and every one of our amazing partners, including Franck, Konzum, Volkswagen ID.4, Wiener osiguranje Vienna Insurance Group, European Parliament in Croatia, KONČAR, PIK Vrbovec, Shutterstock, Cerovski Print Boutique, Presscut and others, for their contribution that will make the event come to life and ensure all of you can have an unforgettable experience.

*Disclaimer: No matter how many times you’ve heard or read this, it is still very important to emphasise that by attending the event you agree to practice social distancing, wear a mask if you can’t socially distance, wash and disinfect your hands regularly using the disinfectants found on the festival’s grounds and avoid handshaking, hugging or kissing other attendees.

DK HOME presented by A1

We are in for an exciting summer because at the Tuškanac Summer Stage on 14 and 15 June 2021 DK Home presented by A1 will gather the best communications leaders and celebrate their work at the Effie, MIXX and IdejaX award shows.



On 14 and 15 June 2021, the Tuškanac Summer Stage will be the ideal retreat for DK Home – a luscious oasis in the middle of Zagreb where communications experts can gather after a long winter period. The organisers of DK festival have dedicated this DK spin-off festival to the national market, making this an ideal opportunity to network with colleagues, exchange ideas at panel discussions and award this year’s best projects.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://cms.danikomunikacija.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Ljetna-pozornica-Tuškanac-_fotografija_Nikola-Madunović-1-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2089"/><figcaption>Photo: Nikola Madunović </figcaption></figure>



The atmosphere of warm Zagreb nights will become even brighter at the award
shows, where we will celebrate agencies, brands, creatives and
communicators for their accomplishments in online or offline communications.
More than 70 jury members will select the gold, silver and bronze winners out
of hundreds of entries at the Effie, MIXX and IdejaX award shows. The
festival will combine the best of our market: the best experts, best projects
and best ideas.



"While we wait for generic messages about uncertainty to stop as well as the end of the biggest viral campaign the world has ever seen, we want to meet with our colleagues in the green oasis that is Tuškanac, where creative batteries run on the sun, kissing and hugging is left at home, and the only mention of uncertainty can be during small talk about the weather." – said Dunja Ivana Ballon, executive director of DK festival and Croatian Association of Communications Agencies (HURA). She also recommends that the competitors who are feeling extra lucky reserve their seats close to the stage and adds that you can wear high heels only at your own risk. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://cms.danikomunikacija.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Dunja-Ivana-Ballon-direktorica-Dana-komunikacija-i-HURA-e.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2088"/></figure>



The good news is that everyone can attend the festival, but you have to be quick – only those who purchase their ticket at a nominal price first will be able to attend. Even with closely adhering to the relevant epidemiological measures and this being an outdoor event, the number of attendees is limited. However, there will be a waiting list for those who did not reserve their seat in time.



"We are glad to be once again a part of our biggest marketing festival, which has not lost its innovative and efficient nature even despite the pandemic. This proves that in our industry every challenge is an opportunity to show how to be even more creative. Once more we will get a chance to see the best projects from market communications in one place, and I am especially happy to meet those who have been the quickest to register." – said Monika Majstorović, Marketing Consumer Director, A1 Croatia.



A1 is the general sponsor of DK Home, while the festival is also supported by Franck, Konzum, Volkswagen ID.4, Wiener osiguranje Vienna Insurance Group, European Parliament in Croatia, KONČAR, PIK Vrbovec, Shutterstock, Cerovski Print Boutique, Presscut and others.

You have 15 days to submit your IdejaX and MIXX Croatia entries!

We are
here to help you perfect your Effie submissions (which are due 20 March!) with
the tips and tricks below in which we have summarised everything you need for a
flawless entry that is sure to captivate the jury.



Under the
slogan Ideas that work, Effie Awards Croatia spotlights projects,
agencies and advertisers that raised the bar of market effectiveness. The 12th
edition is no different – it has updated many elements of the competition to
keep pace with societal and market changes, all of which you can learn more
about below.



<h3>New
categories for the new normal</h3>



Following the last year’s introduction of the categories Retail, Health, Carpe Diem and Engaged Community, which reflected the needs of today’s world, this year’s edition aims to empower and celebrate projects that achieved market effectiveness during a highly challenging period. Therefore, the following categories were introduced: Topical Marketing, Positive Change and E-commerce. The competition is open to all projects and campaigns that ran between 1 September 2019 and 31 January 2021 in Croatia. The final submission deadline has been extended to 20 March 2021. 



<h3>Effectiveness
during the corona crisis?</h3>



If this year has discouraged you, don’t forget about the fact that you might not have been able to affect the rise or fall of categories as a whole, but you surely could have impacted your market share. These kinds of efforts will shine bright at this year’s Effie Awards for the whole communications industry to see. – said the organizers of the competition. Find more details about the criteria and market analysis <a href="https://www.effie.hr/2020/12/04/ante-salinovic-efikasnost-u-doba-kolere-pardon-korone/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">here</a>. 



<h3>Judging
criteria</h3>



Effiectiveness is key at Effie Awards – the jury will assess how different marketing elements (strategy, creativity, media, research) were employed to achieve exceptional results. The jurors will be judging the entries based on the following criteria: strategic challenge, context and set goals (23.3 %), insight and strategic idea (23.3 %), implementation (23.3 %) and results (30 %). You can learn more about the judging and read the jury’s advice <a href="https://www.effie.hr/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Effie-Croatia-2021_Savjeti-zirija-za-bolju-pripremu-prijave.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">here</a>.



<h3>Give your
entries some personality</h3>



You worked hard in 2020 when effective communication was imperative for market survival – <a href="https://www.effie.hr/2021/02/11/zvonimir-seki-pri-pisanju-effie-prijave-drzite-se-cinjenica-ali-nastojite-joj-udahnuti-i-malo-duse/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">why not share it with the industry</a>! (…) The best advice I can give you is to tell a story with your entry that shows the jury what your brand is. Stick to the facts, because it is a business case after all, but also try to give it some personality with your unique point of view that is immediately associated with your brand – said Zvonimir Seki, President of the Effie 2021 jury. 



<h3>If your
project is versatile…</h3>



…congratulations, that is great! The jury can look at your project from multiple perspectives because the same project can be submitted to different categories – and you also get a 30 % discount when doing so!



Visit the official website of <a href="https://www.effie.hr/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Effie Awards Croatia</a> where you can learn more about the competition, read the manual and find the submission form.

Tips and tricks for a successful Effie submission

The Effie Awards Croatia 2021 final deadline has been extended to 20 March and the IdejaX one to 25 April.



The new normal couldn’t stop the communications industry to yield amazing projects that glistened with effectiveness, innovation, humour and emotions more than ever before. To celebrate them in a proper manner, we are planning a special award show where warm nights in Zagreb meet confetti meet having a good time – with safety measures in place for everyone included. With this in mind the Effie Awards Croatia 2021 and IdejaX final deadlines have been extended. 



While effective communications may not have been concerned with making additional profit this past year, it proved to be imperative for market survival. The newest edition of Effie Awards Croatia, with its mission to empower and celebrate effective projects that rose up to recent challenges, has introduced several new categories: Topical Marketing, Positive Change and E-Commerce. The <a href="https://www.effie.hr/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">competition</a> is open to all projects and campaigns that ran from 1 September 2019 to 31 January 2021 in Croatia. The final submission deadline has been extended to 20 March 2021.

You don't need
us lamenting about unprecedented times, but we would be lying if we said that
the new normal wasn't affecting us still to this day. Despite our lives, the
market and the economy flowing through time in this new normal fashion, it
seems as if we are all just waiting for something. 



We are guilty of
this waiting game ourselves, but who can blame us when we reminisce about sunbathing
in Rovinj, relaxing with a cold drink at the poolside bar, creating
unforgettable memories with our colleagues and so much more that embodies the
well-known DK experience. However, these things will have to be on hold for just
a little bit longer as DK2021 will not be held on 15-18 April 2021 – because
safety always comes first.



We are not settling for anything less than turning unforgettable moments into long-lasting memories with all of you by our side. Our beloved festival will be held either in November 2021 or April 2022, depending on when we can be together, share inspiring insights, embrace amazing solutions (and each other) and, last but not least, party our hearts out on the dancefloor. No settling, only love.



DK festival is
happiness, and happiness should be shared. This is why your festival tickets
and bookings in Maistra hotels remain valid for the new date of the
festival as well.



Now that we got
this out of the way, you must be wondering – what about the award shows? We
don't want to spoil anything but for now we can assure you that we are cooking
up a plan that includes statues, microphones, confetti, warm nights in
Zagreb… Trust us, you will want to make sure to polish your submissions if
you haven't already!



Whenever we see
each other, one thing is for sure: DK festival will be the moment to
charge your creative batteries, share exceptional ideas and network with the
world's biggest industry leaders. In the meantime, stay safe and take care.



With love,



DK team

DK festival and European Parliament team up on Communicating Europe 2021

EP-102843A_Interview Duch

You will need only 30 minutes and one click to enjoy a
free interactive talk Give Back and Stay Ahead of the Curve about the responsibility
of tech giants and our future.



When we think about the future, we no longer need to grab a science-fiction book – the future has already penetrated our real world. It is no secret that technology has been slowly outgrowing us and developing a mind of its own while the human brain is struggling to catch up. No worries, though, because we are going to teach you how to Give Back and Stay Ahead of the Curve – The Age of Responsibility! In this interactive talk, held live on the official <a href="https://www.facebook.com/danikomunikacija" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">DK festival Facebook page</a> on 21 October at 3 PM, you will find out why the techno-optimistic attitude, which all responsible companies nurture, is so crucial in this day and age – the goal of every successful brand is to raise awareness about responsibility, build upon it and listen to the needs of their community.



We need to strike a balance between technological
growth and real human needs. How tech companies maintain this equilibrium
between people and technology is going to be the main point of discussion with Filipa
Petrović, Regional Marketing Manager (CEE) at Dell, and our very own Antonija
Mandić. Creating a stimulating and affirmative work environment where
everyone can achieve their full potential, taking care of employees’ mental
health and fostering sustainability in order to give back to the community –
these are all key elements of successful businesses and exceptional brands.
During this interactive talk you will learn how to efficiently present your
brand’s mission and make a real change in the world.



As the organizers of DK festival, which was affected
by the crisis, we want to continue to support the industry by doing what we
know best – sharing knowledge. This is why the talk is completely free for
everyone who wishes to join on 21 October at 3 PM on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/danikomunikacija">DK festival Facebook page</a>.

“We want to see brands
behaving in ways that show you’re concerned about protecting your

How to communicate creatively and act responsibly? Find out at&nbsp;DK&nbsp;Piknik&nbsp;by&nbsp;Jamnica&nbsp;Botanica&nbsp;on Tuesday and Wednesday&nbsp;in the outdoor greenery and fresh air of Park&nbsp;Maksimir.



We have been social distancing for months now, which is exactly why communication and education have become more important than ever. At DK Piknik by Jamnica Botanica, held on 30 June and 1 July in Park Maksimir, you will learn about effective and creative ways to communicate in these unusual times – while practising responsible behaviour to the maximum.



Even though we won’t be exchanging X’s and O’s, love from a distance is more than welcome – because in true love even the greatest distance can be bridged. So forget about hugs and kisses and show some long-distance love to our incredible speakers who will make this summery picnic an unforgettable experience. Ben Hammersley, a futurist and visionary, will join us online at DK Piknik while Thijs Launspach, a psychologist who specializes in stress management, and Heidi Priebe, a personality expert, will make sure our mental health is in pristine condition during these stressful times. You will also get the chance to listen to the legendary Sir Martin Sorrell, who will engage in an intriguing online discussion with Davor Bruketa, while Lisa Targett, General Manager at TRIBE, and Nina Išek Međugorac (Media Val) will tell you all you need to know about the future of social media.



You won’t have to think about safety while enjoying the summer atmosphere, fresh air and hanging out with your colleagues because&nbsp;we&nbsp;will follow the&nbsp;highest standards of safety regulations, which will include maintaining physical distance as well as providing facemasks and disinfectants to all participants. Just a heads-up: we advise you to bring your own facemasks as well because&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;communication and responsible behaviour&nbsp;are&nbsp;key ingredients for&nbsp;creating&nbsp;an amazing&nbsp;picnic experience.

Prva DK poslovna konferencija u prirodi, koja&nbsp;se&nbsp;nakon mjeseci izolacije održala&nbsp;u Maksimirskom perivoju 30. lipnja i 1. srpnja u after-work terminu, uz potrebne mjere sigurnosti i distance, uspješno je otvorila&nbsp;ljetnu sezonu&nbsp;te&nbsp;domaćoj komunikacijskoj industriji omogućila dugo priželjkivano te prijeko potrebno druženje i razmjenjivanje dojmova nakon&nbsp;nekoliko&nbsp;izazovnih mjeseci.



<figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dgzjet5jn/image/upload/h_391,w_580/v1594713609/Maksimir082_mah_010720_utionc.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1564"/></figure>



Združili smo najbolje od onlinea i offlinea – pa smo zajedno tijekom dva dana uživali u uvidima&nbsp;šest međunarodnih predavača, niza domaćih stručnjaka, ali i druženju pod vedrim nebom u zelenilu Maksimira. Nakon mjeseci karantene i izolacije, baš nam je to trebalo! Nije bilo boljeg načina za druženje s klijentima koje dugo nismo vidjeli, razmjenjivanje dojmova i uživanje u kvalitetnim sadržajima.



Suzdržali smo se od ljubljenja i grljenja, redovito smo dezinficirali ruke, nosili maskice i poštovali fizički razmak kako bismo uz osiguranu visoku razinu sigurnosti svi ostali zdravi, ali smo se svejedno i sa sigurne udaljenosti zaljubili u predavače i atmosferu ljetnoga Piknika – ionako kažu da su veze na daljinu uvijek zanimljivije od onih uobičajenih. 



<figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dgzjet5jn/image/upload/h_376,w_580/v1594713711/Prvi-dan-DK-Piknika-by-Jamnica-Botanica_foto-Matija-Habljak-PIXSELL_ape807.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1568"/></figure>



Trenutne okolnosti savršen su trenutak za osmišljavanje novih oblika oglašavanja,&nbsp;poručio je futurist&nbsp;Ben Hammersley&nbsp;u svom online predavanju i time zaokružio misao vodilju piknika.&nbsp;Razmislite o tome kakav biste svijet željeli vidjeti sljedeće godine – razmislite o svijetu u kojem bi bilo dobro živjeti&nbsp;– a zatim svojom kreativnošću ispričajte tu priču i inspirirajte ljude na stvaranje toga svijeta.



Sudjelovanje na DK Pikniku bilo je ekskluzivno organizirano za sve sudionike DK2020 u Rovinju koji su do sada osigurali svoju kotizaciju, a ulaznica za DK Piknik (koja je iznosila 450 kn + PDV) bila je uključena u cijenu kotizacije.

<h3> UZ POSEBNE ZAHVALE</h3>



Veliko hvala našim partnerima koji su bili uz nas i omogućili održavanje ovog netipičnog okupljanja.



 Motivacija, pozitivna energija i razmišljanje izvan okvira obilježili su DK Piknik by Jamnica Botanica uz dugo iščekivano druženje s dragim kolegama i boravak na zraku uz osvježavajući osjećaj prirode Jamnice Botanice. DK Piknik, osim odličnih edukativnih sadržaja, ponudio je i kvalitetno iskustvo druženja s ekipom s posla u prirodi. Sudionici prvoga dana DK Piknika&nbsp;mogli su uživati u&nbsp;ukusnim&nbsp;burgerima&nbsp;PIK Vrbovca, a službeno pivo piknika bilo je&nbsp;Staropramen. Vaše druženje bilo je neprocjenjivo i uz&nbsp;Mastercard – DK Piknik počastio vas je s 10 % popusta za plaćanje Mastercard® i Maestro® karticama u ugostiteljskom objektu Vidikovac.&nbsp;Raspravu o predavanjima uz kokice i stolni nogomet omogućila je&nbsp;Zagrebačka banka.&nbsp;Predavanja je donio A1 Hrvatska, a vrhunsku ljetnu after-work atmosferu i zanimljive razgovore potaknuo je&nbsp;Badel 1862&nbsp;Sax gin. Druženje po kojemu ćemo odsad živo pamtiti Maksimir podržali su i&nbsp;Erste banka i HGK. Ugođaju piknika doprinio je i&nbsp;Addiko Bank, dok nam&nbsp;je Red Bull&nbsp;svima dao krila za nove poslovne (i sve one druge) pobjede. U zabludi da vrhunski zalogaji moraju biti komplicirani razuvjerila nas je&nbsp;Podravka&nbsp;gurmanskim okusima pašteta koji su&nbsp;garancija vrhunskog užitka. Nove uspomene s dugo očekivanog druženja zabilježio je objektiv&nbsp;Pixsella, a nakon uživanja na svježem zraku&nbsp;Dormeo&nbsp;nam je bio najbolji prijatelj jer na njihovom&nbsp;Aloe Vera Orthocell nadmadracu&nbsp;nismo morali brojati ovce – uz njega zaspite dok kažete "nova razina udobnosti". 



Organizacijski su partneri događanja bili Pepermint, PaliGasi, Kupole i Selotejp, koji su se pobrinuli za vrhunsko iskustvo piknika.

The first DK Talks with Marian Salzman attracted more than 2000 people: "Think: Vision over self-interest"

Effie has an 11-year-long tradition of awarding best Croatian agencies and advertisers for their excellent work in market communications, and now it is more important than ever to inspire the communications industry to raise positive awareness among the public. Following the MIXX and IdejaX winners announcement that garnered more than 10 000 views, Effie winners were revealed on Friday during a Facebook live stream.



The winners of Effie Croatia Awards, which celebrates the
efficiency of the marketing industry, were announced during a live stream on Friday,
17 April on DK festival Facebook page. Grand Prix went to Zagrebačka
pivovara and BBDO Zagreb in collaboration with Universal McCann and Degordian
for the ‘Ostajemo di smo’ project.



Besides Grand Prix, there were two gold Effie winners: Pipi
beverages and Imago Ogilvy in collaboration with Drap for the 'Boli me
Pipi' project as well as Hrvatski Telekom and McCann Zagreb with the
help of Degordian and Pro Media Group for their ‘Unlimited obitelj’
project.



The winners of this year’s silver Effie are Tele2 and Imago Ogilvy in collaboration with Media Polis, iProspect, Riba ribi grize rep and Drap with the ‘Pokućni internet’ project. Erste bank and Utorak and BBDO Zagreb were also awarded the silver Effie for their ‘Povratak’project, which was done in collaboration with 404 and MediaCom Zagreb.

market. This was reflected in the two-night event where national and regional
industry experts united as one – after the first night of announcing winners of
two competitions, which was watched by more than 10 000 people from Croatia
and the region, the second night was dedicated to announcing the Effie

page.

The organizers congratulated the winners as well as all the entrants
and clearly stated that it doesn’t matter if Effie, as the preeminent marketing
initiative in Croatia and the world that promotes the connection between
marketing activities and market results, adorns the shelves of private homes or
agency offices. Therefore, they have invited the industry to continue
working, in accordance with National civil protection recommendations, emphasizing
the need to continue creating ideas that work because they have the
potential to inspire change and shine bright at next year’s Effie Awards.
