While working in the holding, specialized in business-to-business communications.

In 2017, founded her own B2B PR agency, and StarLightMedia became its first client. Fond of psychology of brand perception (read her column “How does work the advertising that nobody sees” here)

“After many years in the profession, I consciously came to specialize in B2B: here I am most effective, it suits my character better. Working with us you will get a system and Emotional Intelligence. You will be fascinated to know what your brand can do”.

Devoted two years to fashion PR, first becoming the PR director of the Ukrainian pret-a-porter brand przhonskaya, and later heading the communications department of the Ukrainian Institute of Fashion History.

In 2017, decided to change her experience in PR and switch from b2c to b2b, from client’s office to an agency. Started at B2B PR on the position of middle account.

“The business-to-business segment is special. It is about significance, long and thorough relationship building, and about great work that remains behind the scenes. Working in b2b communications taught me to see beauty and value where others see only complicated processes”.

Tetiana Bielinska (f, in) — Managing Partner at B2B PR, 10 years in journalism and communications.

From 2014 to 2018, worked as a journalist and later as an editor at the agrarian media outlet AgroElita, where she gained experience in business-to-business communications with agricultural producers and other industry companies.

In 2020, decided to change the vector of her career development and try her hand at PR. She immediately started with a B2B PR agency, where she rose from a middle account manager to a managing partner in four years.

“One of the things I like most about PR is the need to constantly work with people’s needs to be seen and connect them with the world around them so that they can be seen. The business-to-business segment is interesting because in shaping this vision, you have to rely a lot on professional specifics, a rational approach, and deep work with details – this is close to me and this approach works effectively”.
