Jitka Kvartkova

I help business owners and SME companies to stand out on all fronts, particularly in their B2B communication, which is often a crucial, but often neglected and underrepresented part of marketing.

I love my profession because it involves communication with outstanding people — entrepreneurs, managers, marketers, as well as engineers. I have a sense of people’s natural talents and can bring out the best in everyone, even if you haven’t done much work in communication and PR yet.

I am used to wearing many hats in order to produce results in the ever-changing market environment. I studied at the London School of Public Relations and hold a master’s degree from the Faculty of International Relations at the Prague University of Economics and Business.

My vast professional experience includes working as a writer for Hospodářské noviny (the leading Czech business daily newspaper), copywriting and ghostwriting on the highest management level, and mastering the constant influx of new technologies, such as LinkedIn taking over in the B2B buzz. Before setting out on my freelance journey, I worked for over a decade in a multinational consulting firm as a member of the EMEA team. I have experience working across Europe with a focus on the Central European countries. I love sharing my experience of leaving the corporate world and starting my own business, and guiding my clients through the process step by step.

Here’s an overview of what I do for my clients:

• B2B communication – I assist SME business owners as a B2B expert, coach, and mentor in:

• Selecting and setting up the best solutions tailored to their needs and marketing budgets.
• Building a strong reputation for their companies.
• Mentoring junior and mid-level PR team members, providing external insights to PR department managers.

• Content strategist – I help in setting up a strategy for what the company communicates via:

Here are 4 case studies (anonymized for privacy protection) that illustrate my approach to clients:
