THIRTEENTH NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS WILL KEEP SERBIA AWAKE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT!
Thirteen is not a favorite number to many, but this year’s Night of the Museums will tackle its (in)famous heritage through numerous programs, which will bring out the good mood, showing that culture, knowledge and laughter are the best allies in the fight against superstition.

Therefore, all visitors are advised to keep their eyes wide open in the night of 21 May 2016.
Night of the Museums is driven by the Program Council which this year consists of architect and academician Brana Mitrović, director and editor in chief of the Cultural program of RTS Nebojša Bradić, sculptor prof. Mrđan Bajić, art historian Prof. Dr. Lidija Merenik and historian Milan Tlačinac.
GOLIN GERMANY LAUNCHES AS A JOINT VENTURE BY GOLIN & GGH MULLENLOWE
Golin has formed a joint venture with sister agency, GGH MullenLowe in Germany. The partnership allows both agencies to bring a truly integrated offering to the German market. Golin is launching its brand in Hamburg under the leadership of Uta Behnke, newly appointed managing director of Golin Germany. Behnke is charged with overseeing and growing the agency – including opening a second office in Munich this summer. She will report to Matt Neale, president international, Golin and Benedikt Holtappels, CEO GGH MullenLowe.
The new integrated model is a response to the reality that many traditional, isolated PR and advertising solutions no longer work in the increasingly complex world of communications. The effectiveness of earned media on its own is increasingly restricted. The most successful campaigns integrate the suport of paid media to ensure reach and scale.
