  • Best Campaign

    First place

    Dear Mr. President

    Agency: Imago Ogilvy

    Creative director: Darko Bosnar, Igor Mladinović

    Advertiser: Jamnica

    Jana is positioned as ‘Water as pure as love’ and it based all its communication around love. This year’s Jana edition is strongly connected with the most famous love story in Croatia – the one about two storks Malena and Klepetan. Klepetan flies to Africa every year and the huge problem is that more than 2.000.000 migratory birds are killed over Lebanon every year. Jana started a strong PR campaign by addressing the President of Lebanon with the aim to change the law and stop bird-killing so this love story can continue for many years to come.

    First place

    The Adris Foundation has helped hundreds of projects in Croatia. Gathered in one place, in the book “Nada” (nada means hope in Croatian), they give hope that Croatia has a future. The book is sensitive to touch. The more it is used, the more hope there is.
