Igor Mladinović was born in Zagreb, where he graduated in mechanical engineering—one of the very few things he has never actually pursued. For nearly two decades, he led creative teams in advertising agencies as a Chief Creative Officer, winning Croatia’s first Cannes Lion with his team at Imago. He is the creator and co-owner of La Štruk, Zagreb’s internationally renowned restaurant; Cravaticum, the Tie Museum; and the Home of the Dalmatian dog in Šibenik, a museum dedicated to Croatia’s iconic breed. For the latter, he and the Hearth agency team set a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest exhibition of Dalmatian dog paintings.’
