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).

In today's world, the inclusion of people with mobility impairments in the tourism industry remains (too) big a challenge. We discovered this while researching the topic when Dom Dva topola from Izola approached us, aiming to shift the general perception from a rehabilitation-holiday home to a tourist resort for everyone. The idea to present accessibility as an exclusive advantage emerged from understanding the relationships, needs, and trends in accessible tourism, as defined in de la Fuente Robles' study. Thus, Floramare Health Resort was born, addressing the key challenge with an ambitious project of comprehensive graphic and communication renovation, which not only emphasizes accessibility but celebrates inclusivity. Our commitment to creating a space where everyone can enjoy without limitations stems from thorough research and understanding of the needs of all guests.

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 decline in young people's interest in visiting cultural institutions is due to several factors, with the key ones being the insufficient adaptation of offerings to young people's interests and the lack of effective use of modern communication channels, according to a study by Ian Spooren. Therefore, we directed the communication for the younger target audience of Bled Castle to where they are most active – on TikTok.

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.

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.

Ariete is one of those brands made for promotion on social media. It stands out from competitors with its distinctive design, which is very appealing, and as a result, organic posts alone achieve good results. As stated in the research on the impact of social media on online shopping, a good strategy and constant presence on social media are crucial for improving brand image and increasing product sales.

Social media can significantly enhance brand awareness and growth if the brand forms the right communication strategy. This is especially important for brands of electric personal care products, which face high competition on social media. BaByliss is known for its high-quality and innovative products that are also visually appealing, making them ideal for a visually focused platform like Instagram. Therefore, we leveraged the standout aesthetics in our communication and tailored the visual design of the posts accordingly.

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.

Research has shown that consumers typically seek information about products on social media when they perceive utilitarian and/or hedonic value. Such information, obtained through social media, influences consumer preferences, shopping behavior, and decisions. In today's digital world, it is crucial for brands to remain visible and relevant on social media, where much of the interaction with consumers takes place. Supernova, the largest chain of shopping centers in Slovenia, faced two challenges: how to communicate as effectively as possible with multiple target groups simultaneously, and how to combine the diversity of events and offers at various locations.

In designing a traditional charity campaign for Pampers and dm, we focused on insights into consumer behavior drawn from a study on responses to cause-related marketing. The research indicated that consumers appreciate authentic brands that allow them to contribute to social causes through everyday purchases. A key issue they face is the desire to help without feeling an added financial burden. Therefore, we crafted a campaign that simply and directly links every purchase of Pampers products to supporting mothers in need.

In an era where social media shapes how young people connect, express themselves, and entertain, TikTok stands out as one of the most influential platforms. Despite its popularity, many young users struggle with a lack of knowledge about creating quality content, which can lead to inappropriate practices and negative impacts on their mental health. The need to enhance digital literacy among youth, highlighted in Langlais’ research, served as the foundation for a new socially beneficial project by the Supernova Ljubljana Rudnik shopping center. Through a series of free workshops, we aimed to empower young people to become creative and responsible content creators, harnessing TikTok's potential to make a positive impact within their community.

The modern (tourist) consumer has "modern" needs, seeking unique and flexible experiences and wanting to actively shape their holiday rather than merely participate passively in activities. For the destination Kamnik, which offers a unique blend of local culture and nature, we developed a comprehensive digital campaign encouraging visitors to actively engage in shaping their travel experiences. Drawing on research about the impact of emotions and satisfaction on destination choice, we designed two seasonal activations promoting the personalization of tourist experiences.

Users often lack the time to regularly check websites or feel overwhelmed by extensive offerings, sometimes because they are unsure of what exactly they are looking for. As a result, they struggle to access current and relevant information. To address this challenge, we developed an email marketing strategy for Bled Castle, enabling newsletter recipients to easily access the latest information and allowing the client to establish long-term communication with (potential) visitors. Our solution is based on Mari Hartemo's study, which highlights the importance of personalized campaigns crafted using voluntarily provided data. With regular, tailored updates, we enhance the engagement and satisfaction of Bled Castle newsletter recipients.
