My
Story
In the summer of 2024, I moved from Hungary to Slovenia with my husband and my little daughter. Expat life brought a special color to my life with it's new framing, community, and environment. I am grateful to be able to keep learning: sometimes about customs through a new language, sometimes from the trees in the forest.
I started my career in communication sector nearly two decades ago, but as a child of trading parents I had the opportunity to practice what it is like to start a conversation, to get to know a customer, to help a decision with the right message to any type of person long before my job.
Over the years, I developed local communications for global brands in various industries and positions: tech company, NGO, financial institution, premium car brand, cultural festival, data-driven marketing association or even a start-up.
What do Bátor Tábor, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz and OTP Bank have in common? They represent value, and I'm happy to have been part of teams that have helped shape their communication, and to have been part of global and local success stories which create change.
In 2024, I founded my boutique communications agency, marben communications, where we work on creating unique stories for brands, sometimes involving external experts. These are stories that are not seen on paid media platforms, but will be present in our lives as earned expert interviews, social media stories.
Best regards, Üdvözlettel, Lep pozdrav, Cordiali saluti,
