Focus on Czechness
We are not large corporation
We regularly assigned to Lenka studies ie to map the Czech, Slovak and Hungarian markets, test marketing communications, search for the perfect faces for communication of our brands and et cetera. Lenka has the ability to empathize with the client’s needs. She puts information into context, has a sense of data interpretation, has the sixth sense of what she sees and hears from the mouth of (potential) customers and can transfer all that into valuable marketing insights. I can highly recommend her.
External cooperation with Lenka is also cost-effective to our global company, we save our budget and we still have excellent quality. That’s why I work with Lenka Harmon today and I know that our cooperation brings me a lot of new knowledge and professionalism.
Lenka is quick, flexible, creative, dependable, and totally devoted to her work. It is a very good and pleasant to cooperate with her, she has a wide-angled point of view, large overview and a huge experience she gained during her research and marketing practice in the Czech Republic, as well as from projects she has done abroad.
From the very beginning, setting the project until the final research presentation, she is the one who communicates with us, who is the “brain” behind and deliberately discusses it with us including possible strategy. It suits us, even though we are a large multinational company, we do not need a large corporation to safeguard a quality market survey for us, we trust and we are happy with Lenka.

In my free time I like to travel, discover and explore other cultures. I speak fluent Greek, English and I can communicate in Russian. In 2010 I experienced Greek traditional dances which I teach and organize workshops. I coordinate groups of international Greek and non-Greek origin enthusiasts with native lecturers in Prague. I have spent some of my life in the USA and Greece where I like to return regularly.
Thank you for considering my services and your interest in my business. I look forward to our cooperation with you.
