Zlatna džezva, OREA, Mercator and Konzum launch project 'Golden Opportunity for Creatives'

(Patria) - Exciting news from the world of creativity and support for local businesses! OREA, Mercator, Konzum and Vispak with their brand Zlatna džezva have joined forces to launch a corporate social responsibility project that will be a true golden opportunity for all creatives and will run from 01.11. to 20.12.2023.

During this period, every time you purchase a Zlatna džezva 500g product, you set aside 10 kF for a support fund for creative self-sustaining businesses.

“The incentive we will provide through this project to small businesses is an excellent opportunity for all creatives to take an extra step, further develop their vision and join the OREA community of creatives, who delight us year after year with fantastic and original creations. I thank our long-time partner Vispak for the opportunity to jointly create added value for our community and invest in new opportunities for small businesses that realize big dreams,” said Haris Arnautović, Head of Marketing at Konzum and Mercator.

From 01. to 30. 11., a Public Call is open for all creatives who wish to apply and present their businesses. Applications are submitted via link or by scanning the QR code located on the campaign visuals. After one month of applications, the organizers will select 10 finalists who will have the opportunity to present their businesses at the final event to be held on 21.12. at the most representative retail facility, Mercator center Ložionička in Sarajevo.

Before the event, finalists will have mentorship in various areas lasting two weeks. At the event, the three best businesses will be announced, who will receive a cash prize that day.

“OREA has been advocating for better business opportunities and the advancement of the creative industry since the beginning of its operations, now 5 years, both through our online platform and through our Art Markets. It is a special honor for us that big brands such as Vispak, Mercator and Konzum have recognized our work and that together with them we will provide an incentive to entrepreneurs in the creative industry, especially those who apply self-sustaining development in their business,” said Senita Slipac, co-founder and director of the OREA platform.

This initiative bears the stamp of Vispak, which believes in the power of local entrepreneurs and their ability to create positive changes in the community. Through this project, Vispak provides support, promotion and sustainability to creative businesses.
