According to the published results of Effie Efficiency Index, McCann Zagreb and UM Zagreb, part of the I&F McCann Grupa, collectively represent the most effective group of agencies in Croatia, which has contributed to the fact that McCann WG Europe was declared the most effective agency network in Europe. This is yet another confirmation of the success of McCann Zagreb which at this year’s Days of Communication, the most important national advertising festival in Croatia, took the most prestigious award – the X Award for the Agency of the Year.
Commenting on this great recognition for McCann Zagreb, agency’s Managing Director Tomislav Presečki said: “Creativity gives campaigns a place in the minds of the public, while the efficiency of campaigns ensures business results for the client. One without the other is not enough, so we are proud that with our partners, suppliers and clients we create high-quality and fresh ideas, without losing sight of their primary purpose – to send the desired message to its audience in the most efficient manner. It is this philosophy that has brought us to the title of the best agency in the Croatian market, which we are really proud of, and now, together with colleagues from UM, our sister agency for media planning and buying, we can say that we are the most effective group in market communications in Croatia.”
Managing Director of the Agency UM Zagreb, Mario Lovrić, added: “Quality results require quality partners, and the best results in our business are achieved when there is a clear vision of what we want to achieve, when the business strategy is done for the long-term and when you consistently stick to the tactics that bring good results. As in sport – the best results come when the team is together for a certain number of years, and when the team work is valued. It’s only logical – the best work with the best, most efficient work with the most efficient! We are especially proud that our agency group is achieving efficiency in all of its business activities, for many years now.”
Vlatko Dimovski, Regional Director of I&F McCann Grupa for the Adriatic region, said: “There are no small and large agencies or markets, there are only small or big ideas. That’s why I’m especially proud that our Adriatic Region, and particularly McCann Zagreb, contributed to the overall success of McCann Worldgroup as the most effective agency network in Europe!”
