Bio
Ivan Dabetić
It is lovely to work with Jelena. From her, I learned a lot about PR, a great deal of professionalism, empathy, and knowledge about brands, communication, and media. If you need PR, call Jelena. I wish I had her on my team.

Jelena is a person that understands where the marketing and PR industry is going and she's acting on it. With a huge background in PR and crisis communication, she stepped into a new role developing an educational academy for business leaders in the SEE. What I like the most about her is that she finds people that are professionals and delegates work to them instead of trying to do it all by herself. Represent Academy is becoming a #1 place for business leaders to get educated and advance their careers and Jelena is the one behind that success. I'ms sure I'll work with Jelena again in the near future and can't wait. It's a joy!

Jelena is a smart person. Her inquisitive nature and openness are giving her the ability to constantly learn, experiment and think about new ways of working with clients coming from different industries. She is a hard worker but she knows how to bring some fun and how to make her colleagues and clients feel appreciated. I've enjoyed working with her and I hope that we'll cooperate together again.
