ARGETA AND PUBLICIS ENDING COLLABORATION AFTER 15 YEARS
Agency Publicis Slovenia sent us a press release stating that after 15 years Publicis Slovenia and Argeta brand are ending one of the longest partnerships in the region and in the profession, the unique co-creation of Argeta, one of the strongest brands in the region. Publicis Slovenia will offer its rich experience to new partners, while activities of Argeta will be transferred to a new agency from April 2016 by the owner of the brand, the Atlantic Group.
Argeta is a proof that a consistent partnership collaboration between a client and the agency in the strategic brand management delivers exceptional results: Argeta is now the sixth strongest brand in the region and a leader in its category (source Valicon 2015). Effective collaboration was also recognized by the international marketing profession because Publicis and Argeta together twice won the most prestigious global award for communications efficiency, Euro Effie (still the only one Euro Effie award in the region), five times the Slovene Effie, and last year was even ranked among Croatian finalists for Effie, and the slogan Dobra strana kruha (Good side of the bread) was elected slogan of the decade.
The most important thing is that the pioneering work of the conversational campaign Moms approve has reflected in the record business results for the owner of Argeta – Atlantic Group and the marketing parameters of this category in general.
In April 2016 with the last regional campaign for the new taste, Sardina Adriatica, with sincere wishes that Argeta continues to grow and conquer new markets, Publicis Slovenia will deliver communications of this brand to the new agency, and with their team of the most experienced individuals in the profession will offer their experience and knowledge to existing leading brands in the region and new clients.

ZARA HAS A SECRET WEAPON TO WIN AGAINST ALL COMPETITORS
Zara is often praised as a company that has the best business model in the sector.
“We believe that Inditex has the best business model in apparel and expect Inditex to deliver double-digit earnings growth per year over the next five years,” reads an analysis published by The Wall Street Journal.
This seemingly unflappable success is no fluke. Zara has some secrets up its trendy sleeves that help it avoid fashion misfires.
One of the leading people of Inditex, Jesus Echevarria recently told portal Refinery 29 that the company has a “data-processing center” which is in operation 24 hours a day. The data-processing center collects sales data from each individual store, and a special team deals with customer feedback.
Many of Zara’s competitors in recent years have had problems because they failed to meet the desires of their target audiences, but Zara appears to have that problem solved before it even starts.
The fact that Zara doesn’t stock very much of the same style is another advantage in relation to the competition, because in this way they solved the problem of clearing inventory.
