Client\u2019s expecta\u0004tions can\u2019t be failed. Especially if you are working in the event industry. How much is crea\u0004tivity really important in that ma\ber? What are specific needs of incen\u0004tive trips? Answers on these and other ques\u0004tions gave us Ivana Sofranac, Project Manager and Iva Vujovic, Senior Project Manager, who work in agency Talas Montenegro DMC.

\n

Event organiza\u0005tions is said to be crea\u0005tive job. How does this turn out to be true in practi\u0005ce?

\n

Of course, can you imagine organizing events that always look like one another, what would be the purpose? Wider vision and escape from a comfort zone are defini\u0004tions of crea\u0004tivity in MICE industry. For example, when you see the beach, it\u2019s not the only thing that needs to be seen. Besides that you need to imagine tables, why not set up in the water or synchronized
\nswimmers? Your next step is passing this idea to the others. A\u0006fter a while they will be able to
\nshare your vision. Our creati\u0004vity and ability to find the solu\u0004on for \u201calmost impossible\u201d made us recognizable and succesfull on the MICE market.

\n

How do you define a crea\u0005tive concept?

\n

Flexibility is MUST in our business. Knowing that the client is one of the biggest manufacturers
\nfrom the cleaning industry in France we picked \u201ccleanness\u201d as a theme and cleanness of our
\ncountry perfectly fi\bed in. Our idea was to give different name to each day, so Boka bay tour became \u201ceau claire\u201d (our clean sea) and the next day \u201cair frais\u201d (fresh air). The visit of
\nKotor became discovering Kotor through five senses enriched by adding a small Kotor carnival, as a one of the first things that came up to our minds when we men\u0004on Kotor. This was the first \u0004me that we organized small carnival out of period of carnivals and it perfectly
\nfi\btted in this unusual way of discovering Kotor.\"\"

\n

What did this group liked most about the event?

\n

It was a chance for them to visit the country that they would maybe never visit on their own. They had a well-balanced program and they enjoyed the things that are definitely not part of their everyday life. The fact that every single moment during this trip was planned especially for them was also an important factor. During site inspec\u0004on the client said \u201cI want to see stars in their eyes\u201d and this sentence was leading us through all the prepara\u0004ons all the way to the successful event.

\n

What does the incen\u0005ve trip mean for them?

\n

Those are the trips to talk about during the whole year and this company organizes them once a year. The success of an event is measured by sati\u0004sfac\u0004tion of the par\u0004cipants and the fact that they had a chance to learn something new, that they felt privileged and built the stronger connec\u0004tions with their team. It\u2019s a pleasure for us to learn from the client about the percentage of the ROI a\u0006er the incenti\u0004ve trip. That\u2019s a moment when we realize that every link in the chain completed its mission and it gives big sati\u0004sfac\u0004tion to all of us.\"\"

\n

Are the expecta\u0005ons of clients from our region different in rela\u0005on to those coming
\nfrom other European countries?

\n

As I already men\u0004tioned, it depends on the market. When we talk about the markets that we are familiar with, we know at the very beginning what the client wants, and how easy or difficult the request can be. Most of our clients come from Europe but we also open the door for more and more new, worldwide markets. They put us in the new missions and thanks
\nto that we run out of the usual way of thinking and ac\u0004ting. That\u2019s what makes our job so interes\u0004ng and dynamic. We put so much of our \u0004time in exploring and educati\u0004on. We listen because every culture has its own story.

\n

Everything unknown and unseen is a challenge. A\u0006fter a successful event the questi\u0004ons like \u201cCan you organize for us\u2026\u201d gets its answer \u201cYes, done\u201d \"\u263a\". A\u0006fter all, out task is clear \u2013 to make Montenegro a desti\u0004nati\u0004on worth talking about!

Specialized agency for MICE groups, DT Croatia, was founded two decades ago and this year they celebrate jubilee.

\n
\"Daniel
Daniel Marusic, General Manager of DT Croatia
\n

As they say, at the beginning it was hard to compete with existing tour operators that had strong MICE sectors, but thanks to creativity they shortly became the agency that dictates standards. On this occasion we spoke with Daniel Marusic, General Manager of DT Croatia, regarding challenges and doing business in the past 20 years.

\n

What were the biggest challenges for your business in the past 20 years?

\n

DT Croatia has been established in 1998. After year 2000. DT started turning more and more towards MICE business and after a short period of time specializes in MICE and groups only business. We recognized the weak points of the local and regional competition, so it was clear how to make the system work better to make a more attractive service together with DT local service providers \u2013 hotels, restaurants, guides, transport and others. That was the biggest challenge. We grew along with all our partners and we succeeded to establish MICE standards in this industry. We are planning new projects that will demand from us a different approach in our everyday business. It is a new product that will ensure us the advantage in this industry.

\n

How many successful events have you organized?

\n

I can freely say over 1,000 incentive groups and meetings \u2013 not including other groups that do not have MICE elements, and those were also over 1,000. The biggest groups were regarding car industry, for back to back programs, that had 12,500 people.

\n

\"\"

\n

What are you particularly proud of all these years?

\n

I am personally most proud of our teams that have done big things, respecting the DT standards \u2013 a light conservative approach in some business moments, and at the same time a powerful innovative creative and human approach in moments when it most wanted.
\nWe at DT do business like one runs a marathon \u2013 it is not important to be fast, explosive and strong, but to maintain the same high quality for a longer time.

\n

What makes DT Croatia different from others in this industry? How do you cherish cooperation with clients?

\n

Numerous awards, regional and international, prove all our work of all our people and right approach for MICE standards, to which we pay great attention. Cooperation with partners we maintain in a simple way \u2013 we know the work technology in this industry. This is the precise reason why leading MICE agencies from Europe work with us when they organize incentive
\ngroup travels for their clients in Croatia or Slovenia.

\n

And this is how some of DT Croatia’s clients feel about their cooperation:

\n

\u00a0Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

\n

this is to certify that DT Croatia supported us and our client with the onsite planning for a 150-people-event in May 2016 (4-day-event). DT Croatia supported us in the organization of the bus shuttle services as well as decoration and dinner entertainment and did a marvelous job! We are very satisfied with the exceptionally friendly service and the always smiling crew of DT Croatia who made all last minute changes feasible. We have very much enjoyed working with you and the team and are looking forward to potential future projects together!\u00a0

\n

\u00a0In May 2016 we used the services of DT Croatia for a group who went sailing from Split.We were very satisfied with everything from start to finish. From the first offer and until it all took place. There were no surprises in terms of extra costs not presented from the beginning, everything summed up exactly as from the initial offer.

\n

\u00a0All questions that we might have had initially were answered asap so there was no delay for us in our communication with our client. The group was very excited about the ship, the captain, the nature and of course also the weather\u2026 We will most definitely use the services of DT Croatia whenever we have a request for Croatia in the future.

Renate Ochwat, Senior Project manager

\n

\u00a0Dear Marina,

\n

I am very sorry to have not sent our feedback to our group in June earlier. We would like to thank you again for the very good cooperation. We appreciate your quick and honest interaction \u2013 so in case we need an urgent information there always has been a quick reply by your side.

\n

\u00a0We also are very grateful that there are always two project manager involved which is unfortunately not standard at DMCs but we think it is necessary as project managers are often on site inspections or events and the client is not willing to wait for his or her return. For us it therefore makes the cooperation much more easier and it gives the client and us the feeling that you take the event serious and handle it professionally.

\n

\u00a0It was very nice working with you on site! Even in case of problems you interacted very professionally and looked for a good solution to solve them as quick as possible. As said before your honest way was very much appreciated as we should work together in a team and try to find solutions and ideas together and if there are problems it is best to talk about them and not to conceal them. We are all human and things happen! It is the way how to handle them that makes a DMC professional or not.

\n

\u00a0All the participants enjoyed the trip to Dubrovnik very much. You offered wonderful locations and a diversified program \u2013 it was a real Incentive trip with a lot of highlights. Thank you! We also appreciated that there is always somebody of your office to check f.e. the departure of the busses in time\u00a0– this proofs the professionalism of DT Croatia as well! So thank you very much and I am looking forward to work with you again hopefully in near future!

Laura,

\n

“…I am pleased to advise that the programme was a great success and feedback has been outstanding. The VIP host for the event mentioned Elizabeta and team in his closing speech for the event and this is something they should be really proud of as he does not give out compliments unless truly deserved. Elizabeta was so very accommodating, this programme has typically been a very low-key incentive and this year changed for us as we saw the client moving towards more high level activities, gifts etc. So the support from Elizabeta was greatly appreciated. All delegate feedback has been outstanding and I really cannot express my thanks enough…”

The VIP host for the event mentioned Elizabeta and team in his closing speech for the event and this is something they should be really proud of as he does not give out compliments unless truly deserved. Elizabeta was so very accommodating, this programme has typically been a very low-key incentive and this year changed for us as we saw the client moving towards more high level activities, gifts etc. So the support from Elizabeta was greatly appreciated. All delegate feedback has been outstanding and I really cannot express my thanks enough…”\nThe post Daniel Marusic – For Us, Every Day Is a New Challenge appeared first on SEE Business travel & meetings magazine.", "date_published": "2018-05-04T10:07:11+02:00", "date_modified": "2018-05-04T10:19:17+02:00", "author": { "name": "Svetlana Gavric", "url": "https://www.seebtm.com/en/author/ceca/", "avatar": "https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Ceca.jpg" }, "image": "https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/naslovna-43.jpg", "tags": [ "agency", "business", "challenges", "DT Croatia", "events", "MICE", "Interviews" ] }, { "id": "https://www.seebtm.com/en/only-extraordinary-events-are-really-remembered/", "url": "https://www.seebtm.com/en/only-extraordinary-events-are-really-remembered/", "title": "Only Extraordinary Events Are Really Remembered!", "content_html": "

At least once in your life you have attended a conference or a similar event when the microphone hardly worked; your eyes saw how presenter\u2019s vocal cords are fighting to perform, while your ears were struggling to understand what is he talking about\u2026 until the point your senses decided to give up, and your mind sailed away to a more pleasant destination.

\n

Or you found yourself in a role of presenter, desperately trying to start your presentation from the USB stick which worked just fine on your laptop, trying not to panic and
\nsubsequently not forget the opening line of your presentation which you carefully planned for two days, because you know that the first impression is the one that matters.

\n

\"\"AS Congress Service started in 1969 as a small family owned business.

Since 2005, EURES-TIM has been providing the full range of event planning services, and using its creativity, motivation, experience, and attentiveness it strives to provide the best solutions and ensure flawless events.

\n

In line with this, EURES-TIM has a new logo, and new all-round branding is in the works. With a vision of being different and positioning itself on the market with its own brand and service standards, EURES-TIM is a modern, inventive, and financially healthy company that constantly contributes to tourism product quality.

\n

 

\n

\"\"

\n

EURES-TIM founder and general manager Martina Tretinjak Dananic has more than 15 years of experience in event and special dinner planning.

\n

Since 2015, she has been actively developing concepts of gastronomic experiences in the region, working with numerous top restaurants and chefs. Thanks to her understanding of the gastronomy world, oenology, and catering and her extensive experience in event management, EURES-TIM continues to raise the bar in event planning. In order to make the end product more interesting \u2013 in addition to carefully listening to the market \u2013 Martina and her team are in constant search for new creative solutions. Today, when technology is practically available all-round, authenticity depend solely on creativity. And how is one to stay creative? Martina answered this question for us.

\n

\"\"

\n

\u201cDinners are mostly organized in restaurants, as well as in unusual locations that meet the requirements of this type of events. Nowadays, it\u2019s common that certain clients have been invited to dinners that took place in museums, galleries, theaters, and the like. We, too, have such locations in our offer, but we always try to enhance and improve them, we try to create a story that has its beginning and its end. Along with those already accepted locations, we also like to play around with unusual locations \u2013 for example, a welcome drink in a tramcar or a dinner on a train…

\n

Another example is dinner in the woods, with the smell and sounds of the woods, and the entire setting is complemented by special lighting effects, special sounds, etc. There are fairies and elves who dance and play music… The tables have natural decorations like moss and leaves,\u201d says Martina.

\n

Multi-Sensory Dining
\n

\n

The world has seen a rising popularity of the so-called multi-sensory dining, and now you can enjoy it in our region, in Croatia to be more precise. \u201cIn the last two years, the agency has been focusing its planning expertise also on one special part of the segment of the whole
\n event, which is planning special dinners that are often accompanied by full technical production. Multi-sensory dinings are mainly themed dinners that, along with serving high-quality food and beverages, provide the attendees with a new experience without them knowing it beforehand. This new experience can mean an entirely unexpected event during the dinner itself or a completely unexpected location or decoration, and all this often includes also video, lighting, and sound,\u201d Martina explains.

\n

\"\"

\n

Multi-sensory dinings are accompanied by full technical support, striving to include most senses with the help of special smells, video projections, and different sounds. Interactivity is introduced among guests because the point is to outdo the concept of sitting and consuming
\nfood and drinks. \u201cIt all depends on how far the client wants to go and, of course, on the
\n available budget. It is important to note that we are the ones who mainly choose the locations, since we know the basic prerequisites for the event, but of course we consult
\n with clients and we gladly listen to their wishes,\u201d says Martina.

\n

Organizing this kind of dinner takes time, as well as knowledge and experience, taking into account the fact that clients are very well informed about both gastronomy and wine. Martina is a passionate foodie and oenologist, and she completed the Sommelier Club of Croatia\u2019s first sommelier level training, and she is already preparing for the second level. Because of this, clients began to trust her with choosing menus, as well as wine and other drinks.

\n

\"\"

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful feeling when someone places that trust in you, but on the other hand it creates a certain pressure that you have to know more, that every time you have to surprise the client with something new and provide a new experience. Based on experience, every part of the whole organization is important, but in the end, much attention is paid to the quality of food, beverage, and services.\u201d

\n

Clients Come First
\n

\n

Everything is centred on clients\u2019 needs, which is reflected by the fact that EURES-TIM invested in catering logistics, giving birth to EURES-TIM FURNITURE. The company started this project this year because it realized that as they push the envelope in choosing locations, there is a lack of quality logistics support. \u201cConsidering that today\u2019s events are much more complex and clients indeed appreciate when we take care of even the smallest details at their events, we invested in making customized furniture that meets our requirements, because these are in fact the requirements of our clients.\u201d

\n

\"\"

\n

The furniture was being designed for months until we reached a good solution \u2013 not only in terms of design, but also transport and storage. Each element is made separately and stored this way in order to prevent damage. \u201cIt\u2019s important for us that everything looks like it\u2019s being used for the first time, and we want to further build our reputation regarding quality.
\n Today, certain locations are already showing great interest in our furniture, so we often
\n support them with elegant bars, tables, armchairs, and the like,\u201d Martina says.

\n

David Kusanic, Brand Engagement Manager at Groupe Renault

\n

I have been working with Martina and EURES-TIM for many years on various projects
\nand events that they organized for Renault Group brands. With their expertise and the highest quality of execution and organization, they were able to reach new levels with each new event, also raising the level of expectations industry-wide (both in the automotive and event management industries). Over the past couple of years, their focus on differentiating with \u2018special dinners\u2019 has certainly come to light. This organization places focus not only on the highest level of the food and wine spectrum (which Martina\u2019s continuous development contributes to), but also on the accompanying venue decoration and audio-visual effects, stage props, and highest-level service.

Renata Jagetic, Mazda Motor Croatia, Managing Director for Southeast Europe

\n

Considering the size of our team on the one hand and the number of markets we cover on the other, it is very important to us that our partners become our \u201caffiliated members.\u201d With EURES-TIM, this has been the case since the very first project. In the past four and a half years of our cooperation, we have done a number of big and small events, meetings, and promotions in several countries. For Martina there are no big or small projects, she approaches each one with immense energy and full focus, taking care that the perfect result is made up of perfect details. And most importantly\u2013although I know the content of the event in advance, I am always eager to see the execution. Martina is a master in exceeding expectations.

\n

Ivana Mudrovcic, Mazda Motor Croatia, Marketing Manager for Southeast Europe

\n

At the very first event she organized for Mazda, Martina showed that she and her team understand client needs and the brand they work with perfectly well. Through the years, we have created a partnership in which Martina has managed to amaze us every time with ideas, execution, and small details that make such a big difference. With an agency like this one, which constantly invests in knowledge, it is extremely easy to establish a warm and sincere relationship, and you can always count on them delivering not only the user experience you wanted, but more than that. When it comes to EURES-TIM, the term \u201cturnkey\u201d is much more than just a phrase.
