February is one of the most significant months for Bled Castle, as everything revolves around romance and love. For this special occasion, we created the visual installation "Heart of Bled Castle," drawing on Henry Jenkins' research on co-creating art (Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century, 2009) and the gamification "Love Word Search" based on the Lloyds Banking Group case study (Crossword Clues, 2021).

Where are the young people? This everyday question, which hides worrying statistics about adolescents spending time behind screens, communicating with smartphones in hand, and growing up without real motivation, also echoes in our minds. Therefore, in collaboration with Supernova Ljubljana Rudnik, we developed a project aimed at creating a more attractive and accessible environment for young people who are increasingly inclined towards digital forms of socializing and shopping. The main guiding principles were the results of research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the shopping habits of young people and studies on trends in the digital behavior of young people, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions to establish real connections in a digitally colored world. The project acts as a bridge between the digital and physical worlds and as a platform that encourages interactivity and active participation among young people.

The digital presence of brands is a necessity today, and cultural institutions are aware of this, having to combine their historical roles with modern approaches. One of the most recognizable Slovenian cultural monuments faced the challenge of maintaining its reputation on social media without appearing artificial or rigid. We designed a communication strategy aimed at attracting a younger audience while maintaining respect for cultural heritage through authentic and dynamic content reflecting the current happenings at the castle. We relied on a study that examines the potential of marketing communication as a sustainable tool in the context of castle museums.

Dietary supplements have become an integral part of our lifestyle, so it's not surprising that communication strategies promoting health benefits and supplement integration are also evolving, as discussed in a reference study by Ipsos. Social media has become the primary channel for seeking information, which is why we chose Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok as the main communication channels for the dietary supplement brand. Since digital content is mostly consumed quickly and needs to be presented in a user-friendly way, we balanced serious medical content with entertaining elements.

Foreign destinations seem so attractive, or as the Slovenian proverb goes: "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." So how do we present local towns to Slovenians as a dream destination for a trip with unlimited exploration opportunities? With an innovative digital campaign, part of a year-long communication strategy, we invited users to discover the charms of Slovenia's historical cities in different seasons. Based on a study by the World Tourism Organization that explores the behavior of domestic tourists in various European countries and highlights strategies to attract them to explore their own country, we focused on more targeted communication with local guests, inviting them through tailored activations to discover the enchanting places and activities characteristic of each season.

Social media plays a crucial role in conveying messages about brand sustainability, engaging consumers, and raising awareness about responsible business practices, as discussed by Aripin et al. in their research on developing a sustainable brand strategy. At a time when environmental awareness is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life for modern consumers, EKOZARČEK addresses current social issues with simple yet powerful messages through its presence on social media. The project is designed to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable choices and the impact of individual habits on the environment through visually appealing and educational posts.

Overload of options that often appear equivalent at first glance represents one of the key challenges in choosing over-the-counter pharmaceutical products. In collaboration with Polymetrio, the distributor of the Aboca brand, we developed a communication strategy aimed at bringing these products closer to the general public. The starting point in our design was Masood's definition of modern marketing approaches in the pharmaceutical industry. Our approach was designed to present the benefits of these natural products to users in an attractive and understandable way, enabling them to make easier and more informed choices.

In 2024, the Slovenian Tourist Board (STO) is placing a special emphasis on culture, which serves as the basis for the promotional campaign of the tourist destination Bela Krajina. Although Bela Krajina is traditionally known as an excellent destination for outdoor activity enthusiasts, we aimed to showcase its cultural heritage in the campaign, which we connected with the strong traditions of the area. With this approach, we addressed the challenge of insufficient recognition of the region's cultural segment, which holds great potential for attracting new visitors and enriching the tourist experience.

The clash of opinions and interests between the local community and its leadership is always a challenge, and it was no different in the project of building Stolp Kristal in Rogaška Slatina. Despite initial concerns, the tower represents an important additional tourist attraction, which will serve as a new magnet for visitors to the destination. This is supported by Destefanis' case study, which explores the development of cultural tourism and its impact on local communities in southern Italy, concluding that the creation and development of cultural landmarks to attract tourists positively affect the living conditions of the local community, not only due to increased availability of funds but also due to a change in the mindset of the residents.

In a world where the market for dietary supplements is saturated with products promising quick fixes for better well-being, Basica stands out as a universal and complex dietary supplement, whose multifaceted utility presents a communication challenge. Due to its wide range of benefits and indications, users are often unsure how to incorporate the product into their daily routine. The project is designed for long-term education and brand recognition, highlighting clear and understandable practical value.
