Branding YOU!" - jedan dan u Istri koji će promijeniti sve!

Nenad Bach već 30 godina živi i radi u New Yorku gdje je osnivač "CROWN"-a (Croatian World Network), jednog od prvih i najutjecajnijih Hrvatskih portala u svijetu koji se bavi najboljima od nas i sustavno promovira već preko 15 godina Hrvatsku prisutnost u svijetu. Kao glazbenik, dijelio je pozornicu s najvećim svjetskim imenima: Bono Vox (U2), Luciano Pavarotti, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen i dr. Početkom 1990-ih aktivan je u prikupljanju humanitarne pomoći za Hrvatsku te spletom okolnosti postaje neslužbeni 'glasnogovornik' i lobist Republike Hrvatske u SAD-u. U Bijeloj ga kući prima američki predsjednik Bill Clinton (sudjeluje i na inauguraciji Baracka Obame), druži se s britanskom princezom Lady Dianom, Paulom McCartneyem, Rodom Stewartom, Tonyem Bennettom, Johnom Malkovichem, Martinom Sheenom, Larryjem Kingom te ostalim poznatim facama iz kraljevskih i estradnih obitelji.

Gostujući prije nekoliko godina u jednoj emisiji Hrvatske televizije, kao iz rukava naveo je šest izvrsnih prijedloga o brandingu Hrvatske i savjete na koji način se postaviti te kako razmišljati. Zapaženo je bilo njegovo predavanje na TEDx-u u Zagrebu. O njemu je snimljen i cjelovečernji dokumentarni film koji je osvojio više nagrada po filmskim festivalima Amerike i Europe. Film se može gledati ovdje: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/nenadbach

Radi se o 1-dnevnom stručnom seminaru koji će se održati u utorak 21. srpnja 2015 u Puli. Ekskluzivan pristup imat će samo 18 odabranih kandidata iz čitave Hrvatska koji prođu pred-selekciju (prijave se vrše putem internetske adrese: SlavniuIstri@gmail.com – a kako bi se kandidatura uzela u obzir potrebno je poslati Curriculum Vitae (CV) ili kraći životopis kandidirane osobe).

Seminar će se održati u prostoru Matice hrvatske-Pula, na adresi Pula, Bartolomeova 8. Pet minuta lagane šetnje od legendarne Pulske Arene, 3 minuta do Gradske vijećnice i manje od minute do glavne Gradske knjižnice (centralna lokacija nedaleko pulske rive). Predavanja su raspoređena u dva sessiona: jutarnji od 10:00-12:30h i večernji od 18:30-20:30h.

Po svršetku 1-dnevnog intenzivnog seminara, polaznik dobija Diplomu i potvrdu o uspješno položenom treningu.Normalna cijena ovakvih seminara u New Yorku doseže i po nekoliko tisuća dolara. Nenad je veliki domoljub te iskreno i od srca želi pomoći poduzetnicima u domovini pa se odlučio za najmanju moguću 'simboličnu' kotizaciju uz mogućnost stipendiranja onih koji su u financijskom škripcu ili si ne mogu priuštiti seminar (a prošli su pred-selekciju).

 Film fest: Nenad Bach, Dubuque 2.0

One of the surprise darlings of last year’s Julien Dubuque International Film Festival was a quiet, humble composer by the name of Nenad Bach.

The Croatian-American came to town for the first time in 2014 to promote the documentary that filmmaker Vic Zimet made about him -- “Everything is Forever.” An activist and a peace advocate, Bach found a community that was willing to embrace him.

“I feel Dubuque,” he said while visiting the filmmaker lounge at the Hotel Julien Dubuque. “This is Dubuque 2.0 for me. Everything I thought with my first experiences was proved this time as well. It’s a great city, creative people, the town is flourishing, and I am privileged to be here.”

Bach is a special guest of this year’s festival, and he performed alongside Dubuquer Caroline Curtis and Texas pop-rock band TR3N at Thursday’s opening night ceremony. The song they brought to life on stage was “I Feel Dubuque,” an original composition by Bach.

“I wrote it because I felt strongly about Dubuque,” he said. “I’m talking about Dubuque for long time with all of my friends, wherever I go. People ask me sometimes, ‘Why do you like so much Dubuque and all of this?’ And I said, ’65,000 people, symphonic orchestra, imagine that. I went to the artistic community … and food co-op. All of these things are impressive. (Dubuque) is in a high tide (that) brings all the boats up, not just the yachts.”

The community has welcomed back the musician, who cuts an instantly recognizable figure with his black, wide-brimmed hat, black jacket and accent.

“Response was very good from people,” Bach said of his opening-night performance. “One of the people called me a peddler of joy. I like that. That can be my title for an album or something else.”

Nenad was backed by a great band TR3N from McAllen, TX.
