New year, new categories, same relentless focus on results. Effie Awards Croatia 2025 is live, and it’s time to show the industry what you’ve got. This year, Finance, Insurance, now separate categories, and the brand-new AI category join the lineup, reflecting a market that’s anything but static.
Effie has spent 16 years setting the standard for excellence, proving that success is measured by results. This year, we’re looking for campaigns that don’t just push boundaries — they redefine them, says Dunja Ivana Ballon, Executive Director of HURA, IAB Croatia, and DK Festival.
What’s New?
- Finance: recognizing excellence in financial communications and strategies.
- Insurance: highlighting innovation in the insurance sector.
- AI: showcasing campaigns that leverage artificial intelligence to revolutionize efficiency and creativity.
