The IPRA Golden World Awards (GWA) are often referred to as the \u201cPR Oscars\u201d and represent one of the most prestigious recognitions in the field of public relations. This year, two of our own \u2013 “manjak” and “mangura” (Dubrovnik’s local terms for a boy and girl) \u2013 will help select the winners: Kre\u0161imir Macan<\/a>, founder and director of Manjgura, and Anamarija Hrvoi\u0107 \u0110uri\u0107<\/a>, director of strategic communications.<\/p>\n Presented by IPRA \u2013 the International Public Relations Association<\/a> \u2013 this renowned competition is judged by a panel of 50 experts from around the world, including representatives from companies, agencies, associations, institutions, and universities. The official IPRA website highlights Kre\u0161imir Macan\u2019s expertise, noting his advisory work for two Croatian Prime Ministers during election campaigns, as well as his Grand PRix HUOJ award for advancing the public relations profession.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a great honor to be part of the IPRA Golden World Awards jury for the second time and to once again evaluate the most innovative global PR campaigns, this time alongside my colleague Anamarija. Last year was a valuable experience, especially as Manjgura hosted the final judging. I am confident that this year there will be even more creative projects in the competition for this prestigious world award\u201d,<\/em> said Kre\u0161imir Macan.<\/p>\n “After several successful seasons of receiving awards, it is an honor for me this year to sit on the other side of the table and join the IPRA GWA jury, where we will evaluate the best communication campaigns from around the world. And, of course, the link between communication and outcomes,<\/em>” added Anamarija Hrvoi\u0107 \u0110uri\u0107.<\/p>\n Let us recall that Manjgura won the IPRA GWA last year in the Public Sector category for the campaign “Justice Served: Historic Rise of Judges\u2019 Salaries.”<\/a> This was a months-long campaign during 2023\/2024, during which Manjgura provided communication support to the Croatian Judges Association<\/a>. The project culminated in the largest increase in judges’ salaries in recent Croatian history. Manjgura\u2019s team for the campaign included founder and director Kre\u0161imir Macan, then-senior consultant Anamarija Hrvoi\u0107 \u0110uri\u0107, and junior consultant Dora Novak.<\/p>\n![\"Osniva\u010d](\"https:\/\/manjgura.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/KM-IPRA.jpeg\")
