When I was the Mayor of Novalja, I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Mrs. Hedda Martina Šola, a great expert in marketing, at the beginning of 2015. Being a director of marketing for Luna hotel, she offered cooperation to the Town of Novalja on a few important projects that I recognised as a marketing potential for the Town of Novalja.
Within a short period, our cooperation has produced a promotion of Novalja, both on a high national and international level.
Owing to her active contacts that were established in diplomacy while she was a spokeswoman for the Government of the Republic of Croatia (APIU), Hedda deserves all the credit for contributing to our town being visited by the world’s most powerful and famous people, such as the princess of Saudi Arabia, then one of the richest Kuwaiti Sheiks, Pure Rally (40 Ferraries and Lamborghinis), and, a crown of our cooperation, one of the best basketball national teams in the world – the “Australian Boomers” who held sports preparations for key qualifying matches for the Olympic games in Brazil.
Thanks to these eminent guests, Novalja was heard of in the global media. Thanks to Mrs. Hedda Martina Šola, the Town of Novalja has started a process of positioning the destination towards a more exclusive, high-quality tourism.

Cooperation with Mrs. Šola, during her engagement with the Croatian Government, can be rated as the one of a very high quality. She is open to ideas, creative, proactive, has the ability to think outside the box and is characterized by exceptional simplicity and availability.

Expertise, creativity and determination of Hedda Martina Šola are advocates of clients’ interests through the use of modern marketing methods which greatly exceed traditional, and mostly ineffective, methods, being a challenge and chance for everyone who seeks a better place for themselves and their organisation on the market.

Sports preparations of the Australian Boomers (third-ranking basketball national team in the world) were held during the tourist season of 2015, and thanks to cooperation with Mrs. Hedda Martina Šola, this has been one of crucial projects for Novalja and the Tourist Board of Novalja. The Australian Boomers have shown us exceptional honor and trust by choosing Novalja as a destination for sports preparations for pre-qualifying matches to get onto the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro 2016, for which they have qualified! During the preparations, which were organised on the highest level and satisfied the FIBA standards, Mrs. Hedda Martina Šola was able to organise, through a strict and isolated programme of public trainings, in cooperation with the Tourist Board of Novalja, an Open day for young sportsmen from our town where they could hang out with NBA stars, such as Andrew Bogut, Mathew Dellavedova and other members of the Australian national team. With her organisational skills, extreme professionalism and cooperation with all the institutions of Novalja, Mrs. Hedda Martina Šola has provided our respected guests with an unforgettable sports event and has sent the most beautiful postcard of Novalja and Croatia to the rest of the world.

I had a pleasure working with Mrs. Šola on a few projects and I was always exceptionally satisfied. Her energy and expertise are on a high level. Mrs. Šola advised me on the rights of intellectual property and how to properly use neuromarketing in everyday business. Her insight on placing a brand on a market full of opposition, as well as raising awareness of a brand has helped us a lot, which has been finally shown in business results of our company. I am sure that we will cooperate again and I would recommend Mrs. Šola to anyone who needs a good advice on marketing.
