We have checked the ratings for individual sections on the portal in 2017, and the interviews usually attract most of your attention. Based on the readership throughout the year, we have compiled a list of the ten most read interviews in the past year. The most interesting fact is that you often came back to these interviews throughout the year, so they are still “live and kicking” on the portal.
1. Miša Lukić(1): I had to adapt quickly, and instead of one game of chess, I’m now playing simultaneous matches on 30 boards
Interview with Miša Lukić, published ten months ago, was the most read interview on our portal in 2017. It was quite a long, but very interesting conversation, which we published in three parts. First place to this interview on the Top10 ranking is not due to the overall readership of all three parts. It is due to the fact that this interview was the most read daily throughout all those three days. This comes as no surprise. When we were making the interview with Miša Lukić, we knew we were making something that will attract great attention from you. Miša is an interesting interlocutor, he is the executive director of Publicis One in a region that encompasses 30 countries, he is a man of immesurable creativity and inspiration, and is highly regarded in the regional advertising industry.
Miša Lukić (2): 2016 was, if not the most difficult, then certainly the most demanding year of my career
