DK festival and European Parliament team up on Communicating Europe 2021

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>.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): DK2021

Instead of April, DK festival will be held 29-31 October 2020 when global industry leaders will come to Hotel Lone in Rovinj to inspire the communications industry for three days.



Instead of the beginning of April, DK festival will take place on 29-31 October 2020. Following the WHO guidelines on the global spread of coronavirus and our commitment to the safety of all 3000 attendees, speakers and partners who make our unusual festival one of the best events in the world, we have decided to reschedule DK2020 to October. The decision was also based on the fact that several companies of festival speakers and participants have imposed bans on travel and attendance of public gatherings. The rescheduling put the festival on a growing list of national and international events that adapted their schedule to the precarious circumstances, prioritising the safety and well-being of every individual.

DK2020 to be held in October

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.

DK festival can fit several hundred people and it is always filled to the brim
or even more. This year everyone got the front row experience – from their
homes! The winners announcement illustrated the major importance of Effie,
IdejaX and MIXX statues for agencies and advertisers because, during these
challenging times, the statues represent quality, innovation and creativity
which holds the power to change the world. 



After the success of the announcements, the organizers arranged the production of the statues, which will soon be delivered to their rightful owners, in line with the ongoing safety measures, so they could adorn the shelves after everyone returns to their offices. Moreover, you can order additional copies of the statues or surprise your business partners, as well as ensure that MIXX finalists get their statues. If you have any questions, contact us at <a href="mailto:info@danikomunikacija.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">info@danikomunikacija.com</a>. 



The winners
announcements, where viewers gave standing ovations from the comfort of their
homes, were one of the first of their kind in the world. A total of 10
Effie, 36 IdejaX and 12 MIXX awards were presented during the live streams,
which amassed over 25 000 views with a high audience interaction rate,
making this year’s award shows the most watched ever. These online
announcements, all the entries and everyone who tuned in showed that creativity
knows no social boundaries and that it has the power to influence our
everyday lives and change the world for the better.

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

Despite the current state of the world, there
is always room for amazing and successfully realized marketing ideas on the
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
winners and exchanging thoughts on the projects on DK festival Facebook
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.

Pipi and Imago Ogilvy win Best in Show at 10th jubilee edition of MIXX Awards

HURA, organizer of DK festival, did what others don’t dare imagine. Even hold a live stream of IdejaX, MIXX and Effie Croatia winners announcement. In a conversation with Ekrem Dupanović from Media Marketing, Dunja Ivana Ballon, DK festival and program director, revealed how this idea came to be, what challenges they had to overcome, who was a part of the team that made this possible and many more details. Just don’t get too into reading, we’re waiting for you at 9 PM on DK festival Facebook page.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-1184 size-full" src="https://cms.danikomunikacija.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Dunja-Ivana-Ballon-BW.png" alt="" width="750" height="383" />

Media Marketing: DK festival is <a href="https://danikomunikacija.com/news/days-of-communication-recognized-as-one-of-the-best-events-in-the-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one of the best events in the world according to international experts</a>. Tonight you will be the first one of your kind to do a show for winners completely online because there is just no other way of doing it. The winners care more about getting the results as soon as possible, rather than waiting a couple of months for a chance to be invited to take the stage and be applauded. Was it a hard decision?

Dunja Ivana Ballon: We were so close to becoming the best festival in the world (not just figuratively), and now we will be the first ones to organize a virtual awards show exclusive spectacle - live from the kitchen of Ida Prester in quarantine! Ida, wash the dishes pls…
The decision was not hard to make – grand ceremonies and fancy outfits were never the point of HURA’s awards. Professionals recognizing their peers who dare to be different in their creative work, those who aspire to make a difference, bring positive change into the word and boost the economy? That’s the real thing. This night is for them. We're going back to basics.

Media Marketing: How will the two-night event unfold? We won’t reveal any secrets, but do share some details that will encourage people to watch the show?

Dunja Ivana Ballon: We’re quarantined, isolated and the ground is litterally shaking all the time. We won’t pretend it’s something it’s not. The conditions are obviously far from ideal – the stream is improvised, we’re broadcasting from somebody’s kitchen, we rely on the strength of 50 different home internet connections, we’re shooting with a plain laptop and phone camera, and the audience is present from their couch. This stream is a reflection of our time and current reality, at the same time a living proof that when it’s hardest we stick together, modest and with a big heart. Maybe a glass of wine too. :)

Our producers Lara Stolnik and Bojan Katnić found a way to do the impossible and within these constraints only a couple of days ago managed to find a way to showcase all the winning projects as well as include all the winners live in the stream. This way we achieved our primary purpose to highlight all the incredible projects and wonderful people behind them, so tonight we actually won’t miss anything, besides sunny Rovinj!

On top of all of that, our Silvija Kovačić with he help of Human Interaction prepared a <a href="https://danikomunikacija.com/showcase" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">digital showcase</a> of all the competing projects on the DK festival website, where clients from Croatia and the entire Adriatic region will have the chance to see the best projects and the top Croatian agencies all year long.

With everybody’s social life as glamourous as ever, this is a perfect opportunity to wear your favourite pyjamas and join us from your living room – tonight at 9 PM on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/danikomunikacija/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.facebook.com/danikomunikacija/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1588236309774000&amp;usg=AFQjCNElfXAzVRhx6KeTBxJUMHKDheoBYA">DK festival Facebook page</a> we will announce the winners of IdejaX and MIXX awards, while tomorrow, same time and place, the Effie winners of 2020 will get to shine. I invite everyone to join us and support the best creators from our industry and all the amazing people whose work stood out from the rest.

Media Marketing: How many people were involved in the preparation of this project, who is behind the production and who are some key figures behind the whole thing?

Dunja Ivana Ballon: During this pandemic and earthquakes, while HURA’s resources have been focused 24/7 on helping everyone in our market to survive this crisis, Silvija Kovačić, our Head of Awards, with the big help of Lana Stjepanović, managed to coordinate 60 jury members, several jury meetings, the whole jury process for three different competitions, all of that transferred completely online within days with extremely limited resources. She coordinated all the key steps with the organizing committees of each respective competition as well as HURA’s Board. In the end, judging by the jury members’ comments, everything went smoothly!

At the time, this seemingly unusual idea of an online winners announcement came from Nikola Žinić, member of DK festival’s organizing committee, and Anđela Buljan Šiber, HURA’s Chairwoman. The idea was taken on a completely another level thanks to Lara Stolnik and Bojan Katnić, our co-producers who have been hard at work to make this happen. The communication part was led by our Barbara Tolić, who has been in Slavonski Brod dislocated from her home ever since the earthquake, while our social media was well taken care of by Leon Tetec and Igor Živković from Izone and our Marin Vlainić from HURA. For the host we chose the one and only Ida Prester, who, for this special occasion, has the honor of simultaneously working as a set designer, lighting and sound technician, camera crew, make-up artist and a stylist. After she puts her children to bed, of course.

Production in the era of pandemics... The other day during an online meeting we discussed if Ida’s frying pan could serve as a suspense gong or a drumroll… spoiler: it can. So what else is there to say – it’s hard, really hard, some days more, some days less, but creativity will not be cancelled! Let’s stay positive and see you all tonight!

Dunja Ivana Ballon: Creativity isn't cancelled - we're going back to basics

At a time when
everyone's health and well-being is essential, the communications industry will
look back on the best creative projects of the previous year from the comfort
