16 October 2024 21:30
on 30 October, representatives of top Ukrainian companies such as FUIB, Kormotech, Bolt, Superhumans will share how to manage reputation, shape the image of the brand and the country, and keep in touch with their audience in the face of constant threats and uncertainty at the PR marathon from MMR.
The word “border” has acquired a special meaning for us, Ukrainians. Our common dream is the same for all of us – victory and access to the state borders in 1991. At the same time, Ukrainian business has long and successfully gone abroad. And it’s not just about new markets, but also about our own capabilities: it suddenly turned out that we have limitless ones! That is why the main theme of this year’s marathon is communication without borders.
The most valuable insights will be shared by leading experts in PR, communications and marketing:
- Ksenia Sikorska, FUIB Marketing Director;

- Oleksandra Hnatyk, Head of PR at EVA and EVA.UA;

- and more than 20 other experts.
