Manjgura
Krešimir Macan is a Croatian communication consultant and lecturer specialized in crisis communication, strategic communication in politics, and digital social media. He is the owner and founder of Manjgura (a girl in Dubrovnik dialect), one of the first Croatian public relations agencies founded back in 1997. Krešo brings to each campaign the experience gained from years of working in communication management. He has led communications for numerous domestic and foreign investments, successfully worked in various election campaigns in Croatia and the region, advised two Croatian prime ministers, and built the reputation of many domestic brands. In 2019, the Croatian Public Relations Association (HUOJ) awarded him the Grand PRix for his overall work in public relations and a special contribution to the development of the profession. "We can say that Krešimir Macan is to PR in Croatia what Digitron is among calculators, thus one of the first associations when it comes to public relations in our country," noted Ana Tkalac Verčić, president of HUOJ, on that occasion.
