IT’S OFFICIAL – WE ARE THE BEST AGENCY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Do you know how to become a champion? You go out on the field when it’s the hardest and you win!
Did this statement make you tremble? We know, and so did we, although the thing we are talking about now have similarities only in the eternal, indelible mark on the film strip.
Since, it is not very creative to base an introduction on other people’s ideas and that is why we will replicate this introductory sentence in real time and real space, among real people and life and say only this – during the challenging 2020 we were the best, confirmed by the title of the Agency of the Year in B&H, which we won at the last No Limit Advertising Festival in Sarajevo, organized by Media Marketing.
After the return, last year’s edition of this great festival, brought together the most influential B&H creatives from marketing and advertising industry, from which we returned with one gold and three silver and bronze medals in five categories. Then, almost, the virus happened, pandemic, lockdown, isolation, work from home, uncertainty, hands were tied…
So, what did we do? Well, got out on the field and won!
Agency of the Year in BiH
Yes, during 2020 we also tested our own limits, so that we crossed the limit of the classical principle of action in almost impossible conditions. Everything, or at least a lot of it, was not on our side – starting from the changed circumstances of life and work, through the lack of projects and, therefore, dried-up sources of funding, all the way to the seemingly banal but in fact colossal impossibility of hugging people at events, gatherings, business meetings.
But, that’s exactly how you become and remain a champion, by showing that you know and can, that obstacles are often just a springboard, and creativity can flourish with no money. We built; from a film studio in just two months, to an impressive base of millions of viewers of series that have conquered the region. We changed the world, reminded, influenced. We woke up dormant, created and revived stories that lasted longer than a year, no matter how challenging it was.
At this year’s No Limit Advertising Festival, where the jury decided on the best in the creative industry in B&H during 2020, we won 11 awards (6 gold and 5 silver) in seven categories!
Among more than 100 submitted works from all over the country, ours were convincingly the best in most categories.
