Barnabás S. Email & Phone Number

I'm a corporate communications enthusiast with over 5 years of experience at leading companies in the Hungarian media industry.But who am I really? Trying my luck in Germany and continuing a family story there has been my dream since childhood. Media, journalism, and writing have always been key areas in my life. Watching the ZDF Heute news and the Mainzelmännchen figures, I decided: 20 years from now I'll be standing in that studio. So I studied German as a second foreign language, and being one of the best high school graduates, I was successfully admitted to the leading German university, the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, where I studied communication and political science. Although I completed one year with excellent results, the constant anxiety made me realize: that this is not my dream. This was the first major lesson in my life, but perhaps the most useful one. I moved back home with lots of experience so that I could utilize an ability in my native language, which I've always been the best at, namely communication.I knew I had to gain more professional experience if I was keen to stand out from my peers. Therefore, I sent a motivation letter to every Hungarian media company to which I applied to be a corporate communications trainee. None of the companies advertised such a position at that time. But I didn’t give up. I sent the letters to the general email addresses. After some days, Eszter Varga, then head of corporate communications at Ringier Axel Springer Hungary, called me. She was looking for a trainee to join her. This is how I ended up at one of the largest domestic media companies, where, over four years, I went from a student worker to a full-time junior corporate communications associate. At the same time, I graduated from ELTE and received my BA degree with excellent results.I took a huge step up in my professional career last year. Since October 2023, I’ve been working as a sales and marketing project manager at Central Media Group, one of the leading, most innovative and influential Hungarian media companies. I feel surrounded by the professional, independent, and creative atmosphere I've always wanted. I'm currently continuing my MA studies at ELTE.What am I good at? I have a way with words. I'm good at corporate & sales communication, PR, project management, and problem-solving. I'm persistent, hard-working, loyal, and striving for maximalism. The German dream has become a Hungarian reality, but this is the best reality I can wish for.
