The Garden Stage powered by Somersby | Saturday | 3 PM
Before anyone becomes an industry icon, there’s a, let’s say, a foreplay era. Your first jobs, first pitches, first ideas that got approved (or very quickly didn’t). It’s where careers actually start taking shape — and it’s also the part nobody really documents properly. How do you get your foot in the door? What do those first opportunities actually look like? What happens when things go wrong (because they will) and what would you do differently today with the knowledge you have today?
This is a session where you can find out all about the career beginnings of industry veterans who we now know as some of the biggest names of the industry. Featuring Iva Pavelić (Client Service Manager, Organizacija, Member of HURA and IAB Croatia), Dario Marčac (Co-Founder & Partnerships Director, Crew Media, Member of IAB Croatia), Roman Turk (CEO, DIVISION 4 VISION, Member of HURA and IAB Croatia), Sven Hamzić (CEO & Co-Founder, NoCapp Studio, Member of IAB Croatia) and Luka Glavaš (Co-founder, Flaster, Member of IAB Croatia), this interactive session is your chance to ask what you actually want to know: how to stand out before you have anything impressive to show, what makes someone worth taking a chance on, what these professionals wish they’d known before their own first time, what a real first move into the industry looks like right now, what they have for breakfast, how many steps is in their skincare routine or whatever your heart wishes to know.
