Ajla Mulalić je suosnivačica Invision Consultinga — kompanije za poslovnu edukaciju i mentoring koja već više od 15 godina radi sa poduzetnicima, liderima i timovima. Zajedno sa Amirom Mulalićem radila je sa više od 800 klijenata — od kreativaca i beauty profesionalaca do edukatora, terapeuta i konsultanata — ljudi koji su odlični u svom poslu, ali nikada nisu naučili osnove vođenja biznisa. Kroz svoj rad Ajla pomaže poduzetnicima da naprave razliku između ekspertize i vođenja biznisa, te da prestanu improvizirati i počnu graditi biznis sa više jasnoće, strukture i održivosti. Poznata je po tome što spaja biznis strategiju i duboko razumijevanje ljudi, pa u svom radu otvara i teme koje često ostaju iza kulisa poduzetništva: burnout, sumnju u sebe, haos, emocionalni pritisak i nejasno pozicioniranje. Suautorica je knjige „Tvoj biznis je tvoja druga kuća“, kroz koju pomaže vlasnicima malih biznisa da razumiju kako voditi biznis na način koji je održiv i usklađen sa životom koji žele živjeti.

Together with Amir Mulalić, she has worked with more than 800 clients — from creatives and beauty professionals to educators, therapists, and consultants — people who are highly skilled in their professions but were never taught the fundamentals of running a business. Through her work, Ajla helps entrepreneurs understand the difference between expertise and business management, encouraging them to stop improvising and start building businesses with greater clarity, structure, and sustainability. She is known for combining business strategy with a deep understanding of people, often opening conversations around topics that usually remain behind the scenes of entrepreneurship: burnout, self-doubt, chaos, emotional pressure, and unclear positioning. She is also the co-author of the book Tvoj biznis je tvoja druga kuća, which helps small business owners understand how to run a business in a way that is sustainable and aligned with the life they want to live.

Zajedno sa suprugom vodi Ingemark, kompaniju s tradicijom dužom od 30 godina i globalnim renomeom na tržištima SAD-a i Bliskog istoka.

Pored Ingemarka, Magdalena iza sebe ima i iskustvo u razvoju nekoliko tehnoloških startupa. Ipak, svojim najvećim postignućem i najodgovornijim životnim poduhvatom smatra odgoj trojice danas odraslih sinova. Zagovornica je „skaliranja vrijednosti“ – filozofije prema kojoj poslovna ambicija puni smisao dobiva tek kada je usklađena s integritetom i stabilnim porodičnim temeljima.

In addition to Ingemark, Magdalena has also been involved in the development of several technology startups. However, she considers raising her three now-grown sons to be her greatest achievement and most responsible life endeavor. She is a strong advocate of “scaling values” — a philosophy that believes business ambition gains its true meaning only when aligned with integrity and strong family foundations.

Fokus brenda je na pažljivo biranim detaljima koji spajaju jednostavnost, funkcionalnost i upečatljivost, dok svaki komad nastaje s idejom dugotrajnosti i nosivosti, prilagođen savremenoj ženi i njenom svakodnevnom životu. U svijetu brze mode, Etiquette posebno osluškuje stvarne potrebe žena — želju za kvalitetnim komadima koji traju godinama i lako se uklapaju u njihov lični stil. Dizajn brenda nije podređen prolaznim trendovima, već ima dugotrajniju ulogu u savremenom odijevanju.

Its focus lies in thoughtfully selected details that combine simplicity, functionality, and distinctiveness, while each piece is created with longevity and wearability in mind, tailored to the lifestyle of the modern woman. In a world dominated by fast fashion, Etiquette listens closely to the real needs of women — the desire for quality pieces that last for years and easily fit into their personal style. Rather than following short-lived trends, the brand aims to create timeless fashion with a lasting role in contemporary wardrobes. Etiquette believes that every woman creates her own trend through the way she wears clothing, and that fashion is at its most beautiful when it reflects the personality of the person wearing it.

Jasmina Mujagić je osnivačica brenda Infinity Aroma BiH i poduzetnica koja djeluje u oblasti scent marketinga, kroz koji razvija koncept kreiranja prepoznatljivih mirisnih iskustava za prostore i evente. Magistrica je farmacije, a njena priča spaja nauku, estetiku i emociju u savremenom pristupu brendingu i doživljaju prostora. Profesionalno iskustvo gradila je kroz oblasti prodaje, marketinga, razvoja brendova i strateškog poslovanja unutar pharma i FMCG industrije, gdje je razvijala vještine komunikacije, rada s klijentima i razumijevanja tržišta. Tokom profesionalnog razvoja posebno se posvetila proučavanju uticaja senzornih podražaja na emocije, raspoloženje i percepciju prostora, istražujući odnos mirisa i vizuelnog doživljaja ambijenta. Iz tog promišljanja nastala je ideja o mirisu kao važnom elementu identiteta prostora, a ne samo dodatnom estetskom detalju. Svoj poduzetnički put gradi kroz networking, edukacije i praktično poslovno iskustvo, istovremeno razvijajući svijest o scent marketingu kao novom obliku iskustvenog brendinga na tržištu Bosne i Hercegovine.
Jasmina Mujagić is the founder of Infinity Aroma BiH and an entrepreneur working in the field of scent marketing, where she develops concepts for creating distinctive scent experiences for spaces and events. Holding a Master’s degree in Pharmacy, her professional story combines science, aesthetics, and emotion in a contemporary approach to branding and spatial experience. She built her career through sales, marketing, brand development, and strategic business operations within the pharmaceutical and FMCG industries, developing strong skills in communication, client relations, and market understanding. Throughout her professional journey, she became particularly interested in exploring the impact of sensory stimuli on emotions, mood, and spatial perception, especially through the connection between scent and the visual experience of an environment. From this perspective emerged the idea of scent as an essential element of a space’s identity, rather than merely an additional aesthetic detail. She continues to build her entrepreneurial path through networking, education, and hands-on business experience, while raising awareness of scent marketing as a new form of experiential branding in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

kreativna direktorica i dizajn strateginja, The Content, BiH
Amina Avdić je multimedijalna umjetnica koja kroz svoj rad istražuje prostor, percepciju i odnose između vidljivog i nevidljivog. Završila je Produkt dizajn na Akademija likovnih umjetnosti u Sarajevu 2010. godine, nakon Srednje škole primijenjenih umjetnosti – odsjek kiparstvo. Upravo je trodimenzionalnost skulpture oblikovala njen način razmišljanja i prirodno je usmjerila prema multimedijalnom pristupu realizaciji ideja. Kroz svoj autorski opus, koji obuhvata pokretnu i nepokretnu sliku, instalacije i istraživačke procese, kontinuirano istražuje prostore koji nisu nužno vidljivi oku. Važnu prekretnicu u njenom umjetničkom radu predstavlja debitantski kratki film „Misao umjetnika“, realizovan sa Ivanom Bosiljčićem i premijerno prikazan na Sarajevo Film Festival, kroz koji istražuje unutrašnji svijet pojedinca i prostor misli kao nevidljivu unutrašnju scenografiju. Od instalacije „Šav“, koja kroz simboliku ratnog paravana govori o memoriji i zajedničkom iskustvu, preko projekta „Prvi vikend u aprilu“, realizovanog sa Amnom Alispahić, u kojem istražuje iskustva slijepih i slabovidnih osoba, do dokumentarnog filma „Roš – Znati misliti“, koji je trenutno u završnoj fazi realizacije, njen rad povezuje isto pitanje — kako prostor, iskustvo i način na koji mislimo oblikuju naš odnos prema svijetu.
Amina Avdić is a multimedia artist whose work explores space, perception, and the relationship between the visible and the invisible. She graduated in Product Design from the Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo in 2010, after completing the School of Applied Arts with a focus on sculpture. The three-dimensional nature of sculpture shaped her way of thinking and naturally guided her toward a multimedia approach to artistic expression. Through her artistic practice — which includes moving and still image, installations, and research-based processes — she continuously explores spaces that are not necessarily visible to the eye. An important milestone in her artistic journey was her debut short film “The Artist’s Thought,” created in collaboration with Ivan Bosiljčić and premiered at the Sarajevo Film Festival, where she explored the inner world of the individual and the space of thought as an invisible internal scenography. From the installation “Seam,” which uses the symbolism of a wartime screen to reflect on memory and collective experience, to the project “The First Weekend in April,” created with Amna Alispahić and focused on the experiences of blind and visually impaired people, and the documentary film “Roš – Knowing How to Think,” currently in its final stage of production, her work is connected by the same central question — how space, experience, and the way we think shape our relationship with the world.
