WHO ARE THE CANDIDATES FOR THE ANTI-COMMUNICATOR OF THE YEAR IN CROATIA?
Every year the Jury of the Grand PRix awards of the Croatian Public Relations Association focuses on highlighting good communication practices and good communicators through award for the Communicator of the Year, which celebrates people or groups who particularly stood out in public communication. However, this year the jury’s opinion is that the emphasis on good examples is not always enough to improve public communication. Just as public praise of quality, structured and open communication raises the quality of public dialogue, so can pointing out the biggest mistakes and bad examples help foster the advancement of communication culture.
It’s really not an easy task to make a shortlist of the worst communication gaffes in Croatia, so the list for Anti-Communicator of the Year could have been three times longer this year. However, the jury decided to focus on the ten people who really set the bar in bad communication last year, regardless of whether they remained remembered in isolated cases or were continuously bad or poor in communication. They are: Davor Bernardić, Damir Boras, Dinko Cvitan, Martina Dalić, Željko Glasnović, Vlado Košić, Milan Kujundžić, Nada Murganić, Davor Šuker and Ivan Vrdoljak. One of these people will be named the Anti-Communicator of the Year 2018
We’ll find out soon who it will be.

GRIZLI KOMUNIKACIJE STEPS OUT TO THE MARKETS OF AUSTRIA, CZECH REPUBLIC AND SLOVAKIA
At the beginning of the year, Zagreb-based agency Grizli Komunikacije entered the markets of Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This was achieved thanks to the cooperation with the Japanese brand Yokohama, globally recognized tire manufacturer. Grizli Komunikacije will be in charge of digital communications in these countries and in the Adriatic region.
Grizli Komunikacije has been cooperating with Yokohama in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for two years now. Tomislav Čehulić, Managing Director of Grizli Komunikacije says that they have shown that the export of intellectual – in this concrete case of communication – services is the future. He believes that the communications industry will soon be one of Croatia’s most important export potentials.
The Grizli Komunikacije agency has been in the Croatian market for almost six years, providing public relations services, advertising, branding, social networking, guerrilla advertising, event management, education and media training. Last year the agency saw growth of 43 percent compared to the previous year. (Lider Press)

FACEBOOK, “OLD PEOPLE’S” PLATFORM
Do you use Facebook? Then you are probably no longer a teenager. Research conducted by eMarketer has shown that Facebook in the UK is losing young people aged between 12 and 24.
Among young people aged between 12 and 17, Facebook use has decreased by 8 percent and in the 18 to 24 age group by 5 percent since the previous study. Facebook, which is now used by 83 percent of social network users aged 18 to 24, by 2021 will be used by “only” 81.5 percent of this age group.
Instead of reporting on disappointing decline in the number of users, and the decline in their time spent on this social network, Facebook rather turns to reporting a 50 percent increase in revenue (from $10.5 to $15.9 billion).
CHOCOLATE LOVERS HAVE CHOSEN THE BEST CHOCOLATE IN THE WORLD – KINDER BUENO AT 29TH PLACE
Discussion about the best chocolate in the world will rarely end with a wide consensus. Everyone likes something different. Hazelnuts, raisins, cookies, nougat, peanuts, caramels. There are simply too many options for even two, let alone more people to agree on what the best chocolate is.
In order to contribute to this eternal debate, the Internet rankings service Ranker.com asked their visitors which is the best chocolate, or rather chocolate bar in the world.
The criteria that a certain chocolate has to meet in order to be listed are as follows: it must be in a bar form, meaning that cups, eggs, bits, balls and similar forms are a no go.
After defining the criteria, more than 100,000 people voted and Nestlé’s Kit Kat took the top spot.
Behind Kit Kat were: Twix, Snickers, Milky Way and Hershey Bar, and the top ten were rounded by Nestle Crunch, Butterfinger Bar, 3 Musketeers, Toblerone and Almond Joy.
Amongst the surprises is certainly the low placement of Lindt (19th place) and Kinder Bueno (29th place).
