Our Story

Built on Experience. Grounded in the Adria Market.

Rea Consulting was founded by Marina Kraljić after two decades working across every dimension of the Adria media market — from media buying and planning to agency management and regional strategy. That breadth of experience, built entirely within the region, is what shapes how every engagement is approached: with the technical rigour of an auditor and the commercial understanding of someone who has sat on both sides of the table.

Every engagement starts with understanding the advertiser's specific situation before any benchmarking is done. The result is advice grounded in actual market conditions — not generic frameworks applied from a distance. Having worked inside agency environments before moving to the advisory side, Marina understands precisely where media budgets are typically lost.

“We exist to help Adria advertisers navigate a complex media environment — with advice that answers only to their objectives.”

“The complexity of today's media market is not the problem. The problem is making decisions without a reference point.”
