At first glance, all insurance companies in Croatia do look the same. But Croatia Insurance Company (est. 1884) is the only one that went successfully through 133 years of turbulent Croatian history. By doing so, the company proved to be the only insurance company that you can count on both in good and, more importantly, bad times. And what good is insurance when everything is going smoothly? During the exhibition, family pictures were displayed side by side with “great” events from Croatia’s turbulent past. The exhibition took place in a WWII shelter and was designed as a linear walk through time that combined three main parts – historic events, family stories which added emotional context to them, and Croatian Insurance’s role in both of them. Pictures of their own ancestries gave visitors the opportunity to experience the importance of having insurance by your side when times get tough. It also included interactive Tesla’s experiments, a dark rainy hall depicting WWII and the “Future Wall” where visitors could display in real time their wishes for the years to come. For the first time, history had a place for everybody and it turned out to be the most visited exhibition of the year in Croatia. More than 103.000 people came to see the exhibition in person and 5.370 displayed their stories. Croatia Insurance ended up being the leading insurance company in Croatia in all market segments.

The Slovenian car accident victims’ association VOZIM, wanted to use a campaign to inform young people about the dangers of reckless driving. The campaign also sought to encourage Slovenian corporations to finance the Association’ activities. The campaign was based on the creative insight: THOSE WHO SURVIVE WILL HAVE STORIES TO TELL – stressing the idea that young people often tend to engage in reckless or drunk driving so that they would have “cool” stories to tell to their peers. Reckless driving is truly something we should not be trying to prove ourselves with because we might never get the chance to tell about it. We have sent a box containing a broken toy car and a real life short story by a person who got seriously injured in a car crash due to his reckless driving to our partners and donators. In order to read the story, the recipient must turn the box in his hands. As he turns it, the broken toy car spins, slides and turns inside the box, just like a real car would in an accident. Alongside showing the consequences of reckless driving, this direct mailing also relays the message that every time we sit behind the steering wheel, we take our destiny and the destinies of others in our hands.

A school band hacks a popular TV show to warn against underage drinking issues Bruketa&Zinic&Grey created this campaign for Croatian Institute of Public Health The alarming statistics suggests that Croatia is one of the countries with the highest youth drinking rates in Europe. Reportedly, 6.7% 13-year-old boys and 3.7% 13-year-old girls in Croatia said they had been drunk two or more times in their lives. How to raise awareness amongst teenagers and their parents of the damaging ramifications underage drinking will lead to? Bruketa&Zinic&Grey Agency has created a campaign for Croatian Institute of Public Health and hacked the Supertalent Nove TV (Croatia’s Got Talent Show), the most popular TV show in Croatia among the target audience and devised a concept to send a strong message. The Agency enlisted the cooperation of a talented high-school band Bonar. The band was one of the contestants on the Croatia’s Got Talent Show that qualified for the final. Everybody believed their song in the final would be the popular Opijum song by Magazin, a Croatian pop band. To the surprise of the jury and the audience, they did sing the song but with new lyrics showing the dreadful effects of teenage alcohol consumption. At the end of their act, they strung a banner across the stage that read “Drinkers pay their way” and explained the underlying message of their song, without revealing it all yet. Only after the media’s extensive coverage of their performance did the Croatian Institute of Public Health announce the Bonar band as the ambassador of their campaign, sharing the devastating current statistics about alcohol use disorder in adolescents in Croatia. The Bonar Band’s message did not go unnoticed as they were the talk of the traditional as well as the social media. The new legislation was about to be discussed in the parliament, but due to the pandemic, the bill was stopped.

On the occasion of the European Day of Parks the agency has created a PR stunt for WWF, nature conservation organization. The goal was to encourage people to ask themselves what would it look like if nature wouldn’t have time for us, just as we often don’t have time for nature. On the morning of May 24th, the European Day of Parks, the largest park in the Croatian capital Zagreb – Maksimir Park – was marked as closed down, seeming as if people couldn’t enter. Many people who come to Maksimir every morning for recreation or who just wanted to take a stroll, were caught by surprise. But soon WWF issued a public release with the message – Nature doesn’t have time for you today. When asked why they don’t recycle, people most often say they don’t have time, the polls show. The lack of time as an excuse for not caring for nature is not acceptable. By symbolically closing down Maksimir Park, WWF wanted to show what would it look like if nature wouldn’t have time for us for a change. The news was easily picked up by the Croatian media.

As a new creative player on the market whose majority of business is in online promotions, we wanted to seize the opportunity and introduce the agency but also popularize the QR code format which has been used quite rarely on the market so far. In order to make the story believable we based it on Croatian mentality: we like to brag that we’d invented many things, some of which is true, most is not. What if we found out that a grandma from a middle of Croatian nowhere had invented no less but – the QR code and named it Shiljur? When scanned, the QR code shown in the video leads to the NOA agency web page, where a visitor can get all the information about the agency in an equally funny and interesting way.

Teenagers in Croatia feel that local brands such as Kraš are old-fashioned, and they prefer imported chocolate brands, which they feel are more contemporary. The main creative idea of the campaign was to exploit the similar pronunciation of "Kraš" and the English word "crush" in the campaign headline: "I have a Kraš on you". The goal was to make an emotional connection between the person you have a crush on and the chocolate itself, presented as a gift from one user to another. To achieve this, we developed the ihaveakrasonyou.com microsite, where users could exchange ‘love’ messages with their Facebook friends. We also developed and built a real chocolate-making machine, which produced real Kraš chocolates with the users' personalized messages printed on the packaging. Users were able to claim their sweet gifts from the machine in real time, inside a shopping mall. Video production: Leptir.tv Ambient advertisement created by Drap, Croatia for Kraš, within the category: Confectionery, Snacks.

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.

Why a bar in Zagreb served drinks without ice? Despite the unbearable heat in August, some bars in Zagreb and Belgrade have been serving drinks without ice. Only a straw and a sign was put inside the glass saying “Wondering why there’s no ice? It would be much cooler if you did something about global warming.” This was a message from WWF, one of the largest independent global preservation of nature organizations. They also served the guests with a few simple tips&tricks about how each one of us can decrease climate change every day. The guests could get their ice only if they shared a photo of their drink and spread the message via social media. “Climate changes are huge issue and if we don’t do something about it, it will become an even greater problem tomorrow. This is our way of increasing awareness about how each one of us can help. Don’t just sit there and watch the ice melt!”, say in WWF Adria.
