Politički Marketing Podcast is a Croatian podcast about the craft behind political campaigns, hosted by Marijan Palić, founder of the agency Atomski marketing. Each episode pairs an established, media-recognised expert with a younger professional to unpack real elections — domestic and international, recent and historic — and the strategy behind the region’s most successful campaigns. Cycle Studio Zagreb recorded and produced the podcast’s second season: nine conversations, powered by metricom, with full audio and video production handled in-house. The second season premiered on 31 August 2025.
“As I was looking for inspiration for campaigns, I realised this kind of content was missing in Croatia and the region. I think we managed to get our guests to speak without kid gloves — because it is a unique chance for them to share their experiences and stories.” — Marijan Palić, Grazia
