Vanya Babanin

Head of PR and Corporate Communications, Balkan Star Automotive

 
How do you explain your job to your friends?
I always say I communicate. Professionally. And since they always laugh, I then talk about the reputation management, media relations, marketing communications and employee branding. And my kids think I organise parties every day.
