Our agency is named after a date. In 1323, in his letters to Pope John XXII and to the free cities of Europe grand duke, Gediminas referred to Vilnius as the capital of Lithuania for the first time. We think it was one of Lithuania’s first successful international communication campaigns which lead the Grand Duchy of Lithuania towards Europe, although the concept of the public relations was unknown at the time.
We are a Vilnius-based communication agency. Strategic advice, reputation management, and crisis communication are our strongest points. We are an experienced team with a history of communication projects for over 70 Lithuanian and international businesses and organisations.
We are the Lithuanian representatives of PROI Worldwide, the fourth-largest network of communications agencies in the world, and the largest network of independent agencies.
We have been awarded quality certificates established by the Lithuanian Association of Public Relations Agencies and approved by independent auditors. We are members of the association since 2016.
I have worked in the field of corporate communication, public affairs and diplomacy for more than 25 years. I am an associate professor of practice at Vilnius University. I teach Corporate Communication Management at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Vilnius University and International Negotiations at ISM. Besides, I have given presentations at international communication conferences and set up a few international start-ups.
I started my professional career in one of the first public relations agencies in Lithuania more than 20 years ago. After that, I worked for many years in the telecommunications and legal services industries in in-house roles, gaining extensive experience in public relations, marketing communications, change and crisis communication.

Bachelor studies of creative communications in Vilnius University, volunteering at National Drama Theatre, more than five years spent working with NGO's and internship at PR agency gave and improved organizational, creative and writing skills. What is more, I'm a vocalist at a music band. All of that is communication - with myself, with clients, with audience. And that is exactly what makes me move forward.
Communication is a word that inspires me – and I know it’s the field I want to work in. I have a strong sense of curiosity that thrives in the environment of communications. I studied creative communications at Vilnius University, I used to volunteer, and I’ve enjoyed internships at several companies. I’ve also worked for NGOs. In my spare time, I keep up with trends in areas from technological and scientific innovations to art, sports, and culture.
While studying at Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Sciences, I focused on the analysis of current issues and finding innovative solutions - this kind of studies provided a universal education that allowed me to further develop competencies such as critical evaluation of information and understanding the strategic importance of the media during a conflict. Although my academic interests are related to political science, I am an artistic person who is particularly interested in working in a creative environment.
