Effie Slovenia Announces New Steering Committee

Ljubljana, October 18, 2022 – The eleventh edition of Effie Slovenia has begun with the announcement of the new Steering Committee. President of Effie Slovenia 2023 is Janja Božič Marolt, Founder and Director of Mediana, Institute for Market and Media Research and Mitja Tuškej, Partner and Strategist at Formitas Group, is joining her in his second mandate as Effie Slovenia’s Content and Strategy Director.

"Effie is just like gold. A rare, hard-won treasure that retains its value and increases it in times of crisis. It is a great honor to work with Mitja and to contribute to and strengthen the desirability and reputation of the Effie Awards in its 11th edition in Slovenia. The upgrade would not have been possible without the efforts of all participants and previous winners. I am sincerely grateful to everyone for their contributions so far. Out of respect for them and the profession, I will strive to ensure a successful and efficient implementation of all Effie Slovenia 2023 processes. The complexity of the social, natural, market and technological change now more than ever dictates the need for innovative implementations of marketing strategies, which can only achieve communication efficiency and effectiveness through thoughtful and research-based insights and credible data. Period." said Janja on taking up her new position.

Effie Slovenia has a long 20-year tradition of biannual programs, awarding the most effective marketing ideas and educating and inspiring Slovenian marketing experts. During this time, Effie Slovenia has become the most desired and respected marketing award for Slovenian marketing practitioners (source: Mediana, 2022). We are very proud that Effie values are becoming core to the Slovenian marketing industry and that in the 2020 edition we have awarded the first-ever Slovenian Platinum Effie.

Mitja Tuškej on Effie Slovenia: "The market conditions have never been tougher and the challenges that brands face have never been so fast-changing. The rivalry in most markets is unbearable. Brand managers are navigating between sustainability and social responsibility and are trying to find ways to reach and retain their target audiences, which is becoming more and more difficult. These are all our daily challenges and all of us who work together to create a path for our brands know that what we do is highly complex, interconnected and interdependent from start to finish. For every step we take in the world of brand marketing management, we need to have the maths, the statistics and the logic behind it that lead us to the right marketing and communications decisions. And that is the core of Effie."

Effie Slovenia 2023 is beginning with its activities and welcomes all to follow our social media channels and subscribe to our newsletter for more information about events and news of the 2023 edition.
