In the fast-paced world of the IT industry, stagnation equals decline. Guided by this philosophy, Kenan Mahmutagić, owner and CEO of Monotik Group, today presented a comprehensive business strategy for 2026.
Mahmutagić announced the company’s exit from a
phase of “silent development” and its entry into what he describes as a “year
of change and transformation.” The strategy is based on building a robust
digital infrastructure that will support growth on three key fronts: the
development of AI solutions, the entertainment industry, and media innovation.
BREAKING BARRIERS: INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GLOBAL
MONETIZATION
One of the core strategic moves will be
addressing administrative obstacles that limit domestic IT companies. The owner
of Monotik Group announced the establishment of an international legal and
financial infrastructure that will enable direct monetization on the global
market.
“We will not allow borders to limit us. We are
building a system that enables the implementation of In-App Purchase (IAP)
models and advanced subscription systems within our applications, exactly as
foreign companies do. This unlocks the full revenue potential of the U.S. and
European Union markets,” Mahmutagić emphasized.
A NEW DEVELOPMENT ERA: AN AI APPLICATION
‘FACTORY’
The core of the business remains mobile
solution development, but with a new approach focused on mass production. The
company plans to launch a wide range of new AI-powered utility applications.
“We are not just creating tools; we are
building an ecosystem of solutions. Our goal is to use advanced AI technologies
to accelerate development and release a series of high-quality applications,
while maintaining a strong focus on user experience,” he added.
Behind the scenes, the company is also
developing a network of autonomous AI portals—advanced media systems where
artificial intelligence independently generates and edits news content,
operating 24 hours a day.
MARKETING AS AN INVESTMENT: GOOGLE AND META
ADS
Aware that the era of organic growth is
largely over, Mahmutagić also announced significant financial investments in
paid advertising.
“Having a top-tier product is not enough;
distribution is key. That is why in 2026 we are significantly increasing our
performance marketing budgets. Our focus is on Google Ads and Meta platforms
(Facebook and Instagram). We are building internal infrastructure that allows
precise user targeting and optimized return on investment,” he explained.
EVOLVING GAMING PRESENTATION AT THE FAIR
The company is also making a major step
forward in the entertainment industry through its Monotik Games division and
the development of the game Drekavac. Special attention will be given to the
upcoming Fair Days in Gradiška, where Mahmutagić announced a completely new
approach.
“This year we are raising the bar. We are
organizing the gaming industry presentation at a far more serious and
professional level than last year. It will not be just a booth, but an
interactive experience where visitors can see the power of this rapidly growing
industry, the technology behind game development, and the economic potential it
holds,” Mahmutagić stressed.
GRADIŠKA AS AN AI HUB: THE FIRST MAJOR
CONFERENCE
As the culmination of these activities,
Mahmutagić announced ambitious plans to organize the first AI Conference in
Gradiška—an event intended to go beyond local boundaries.
“We don’t want to create just another
gathering, but a central technology event for the region. We plan to bring in
relevant experts and open serious discussions on the application of artificial
intelligence in business. The goal is to position Gradiška as a hub of
knowledge and innovation—a place where the future is not only followed, but
created,” said the owner of Monotik Group.
EFFICIENCY OVER BUREAUCRACY
Speaking about operational capacity,
Mahmutagić highlighted the advantages of a modern, optimized approach.
“Monotik Group operates as a highly efficient
system. Through automation, we achieve a level of productivity that would
normally require large teams. However, given our planned growth, we remain open
to strategic team expansion and the engagement of new talent capable of
supporting our vision,” Kenan Mahmutagić concluded.
