"I have worked closely with Milan Hladky for several years during my stay in Slovakia. I can highly recommend him for his experiences, flexibility, innovative and customer service oriented approach and mainly creativity. He has been a pleasure to work with, bringing his attention to detail to every project according our needs. I am confident the new company Mačinga&Hladký with this approach will fulfill your expectations. If you need any additional information, please contact me.”

Head of Communications Department, Tatra banka Group
"I worked in a large advertising agency for seven years and know that sometimes creative professionals come up with solutions that are both interesting and creative, but do not reflect the client’s business objectives. For eleven years I have worked on the side of a large advertiser and realize that over the years Milan Hladký has been Creative Director in the agency of our strategic partner, such thing has never happened. Effective advertisement is not just a matter of creativity, but of discipline, too. Milan not only is an exceptional creative designer with a number of awards, but one who “knows the ropes” (perhaps because he is a trained mathematician) to be able to make your business demonstratively successful. This ability is not based solely on his talent and playfulness, but also, and perhaps especially on experience and critical judgment. Working with Milan has always meant a pleasant, creative, and the same time very constructive dialogue oriented at business results."

"Milan Hladký is a person in whom I found a guide through the complex world of marketing ideas. Unlike young creative predators, he offers a balanced view of the world supported by his life and work experience. His goal is not to impress the client with a groundbreaking idea for which he would get the Golden Nail awards (the creative advertising awards in Slovak Republic). On the contrary, he listens carefully, considers what the client actually wants to says and most importantly, attempts to find and correctly identify the client’s message to the customer.”

”Pavol is a highly experienced expert on media buying who can bring you more than just recommendation based on "numbers in the excel sheets". He is one of the few who are able to think about the content and the real impact of a campaign and thus give you an added value.“
Tomas Jaros
Executive Director, CSOB (KBC Group)
”Pavol is a best expert on media planning and buying I have ever met. Thanks to his great sense of detail he can discover things that you would never think about and will always perfectly help you to optimize your marketing costs in future. On top of it, he is a very proactive and curious person which allows him to go beyond his media focus closer to other marketing stuff such as brand, creativity, internet etc. In general, Pavol fulfills without any dispute the highest standard of reliability and professionalism."
Jan Binar
CEO, McCann Worldgroup, Praha
”Pavol was demanding client that has done what he could to drive the best value out of the media budget. He was uncompromising, had great passion for effective ideas and very little tolerance for mistakes or nonsense. He was fair and tough. Knowing the business from agency as well as client perspective allowed Pavol to bring the standards up on both sides."
Philippe Moreels
Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of Czech Airlines
"Pavol has repeatedly shown me that media planning and buying is an art backed by figures. He is not just a performer of an order following its approval. Pavol is a media guy, who is a part of the whole creative concept. For ten years, I worked with him as a business partner and cooperated with him as a colleague. Pavol is the only person I have met in this sphere who could be a pragmatic mathematician with GRPs and at the same time an extremely creative person, able to use the media in a way other than the classical one (30''TV spot + full print page). The awarded campaigns, in which he participated, clearly demonstrate it."
Lenka Janouchova
CMO, Fortuna Loterie
“Betting company Fortuna sazkova kancelar, a.s., began cooperation with Pavol Mačinga in early 2011 at the time of launching a crucial project – Fortuna lotteries. The process included construction of basic infrastructure of the project and network of suppliers, as well as staff recruitment. Pavol Mačinga participated in preparation and evaluation of the media agency pitch process for Fortuna, as well as negotiations with key media partners (i.e. CET 21). His role in planning effective media campaigns was very important, too. Pavol Mačinga is a professional with great insight, contacts, and expertise in media communication and audit. For all these reasons, I highly recommend his services.”
