The panel of this year’s “Best of Serbia” organization, acknowledged the company Infostud as the “Best corporate brand” in the category of service providing companies, which do not include finance, commerce or production services. This award was given to Infostud based on the company’s financial and market business results of the last year, as well as the evaluation of the panel. The opinion of the Infostud’s users was also taken into account. Stefan Salom, one of Infostud’s founders said, while receiving the award:

“This year Infostud received several awards and we are very proud of them. However, this award may be the most valuable to me, because of its name and importance that it has. I hope that there will soon be many more entrepreneurs in Serbia, who will be able to create successful companies with constantly growing staff. In order for this to happen, however, it is essential that the government makes the business practices as easier and simplified as possible. I believe they still have a lot of work ahead of them. However, this award is a very good example of promotion of good practices.”

The best trademarks and corporate brands on the Serbian market were chosen by the Ministry of trade and services, Serbian chamber of commerce and daily economy newspaper “Privredni pregled”. Moreover, the “Best of Serbia” project has a goal to strengthen the image of local brands as well as the competitiveness of Serbian market, with the use of innovation and affirmation of local brands.
