It was a year in which the British Campaign magazine included B&Ž on the list among 17 world’s leading independent agencies – just a year after we were pronounced the Best International Small Agency by the American AdAge and two years after we became the Second Most Effective Independent Agency according to the Global Effie Index.
In 2014 the agency Artgroup Bruketa&Žinić OM Baku became the second largest advertising agency in Azerbaijan and Bruketa&Žinić OM Wien imposed itself as the first advertising brand from our region to take a step on the western market.
The year in our Zagreb office was marked by probably the largest project – Zagrebačka banka Time Vault – with excellent results. Zagreb teams also worked on projects for Adris group, Cromaris, Croatia Insurance, Karlovačka Brewery (Heineken), TDR (tobacco), AutoZubak, Tele2, Podravka (food), Pliva (pharmaceuticals) and small businesses like Marica Jug (organic fruit products), SelaZ and Galić wines.
We also enjoyed very much to be able to create several public awareness campaigns such as Life is not a game of chance with Croatian Lottery for early breast cancer detection; PechaKucha Night Zagreb with the goal of raising funds for the flooded areas in the region and projects for Croatian Paralympic Committee.
We won our 16th Red Dot award and the European Design Awards silver for Adris Foundation Monograph and Creativity Award for AutoZubak TV ads. Our works have been published by the D&AD Annual, Computer Arts annuals, Creativity Online, The Dieline, Print Week, Epica Annual, Page magazine and many other Croatian and international media outlets.
