Emerald PR Agency
Zsófia Lakatos - Emerald PR Managing Director

I’m passionate about what I do and grateful that I can work as a PR-professional. Because I believe that our mission is to make people understand each other better to avoid misunderstanding and chaos. Supporting our clients – companies and NGOs – to be understood, changing attitude and shaping the perception of the public is not a job. For my colleagues and myself, this is our life. Something that you must do with passion, perseverance and love.

This is why many companies chose to work with us and appreciate the nothing-is-impossible attitude and our promise to be there for them, no matter what. Because they know that finding the agency that breathes with you is like finding a precious gemstone. Like finding an emerald.

"In the Hungarian launch campaign of Forevermark, Emerald PR provided us with the highly professional support we needed, combined with creative ideas and a „we have everything under control” attitude. Knowing that we have an agency we can fully rely on, made the launch much more pleasant. And to top it off, they managed the launch campaign in third of the normally necessary time, jumping in and saving the day with great teamwork. Zsofia and her team are seasoned professionals with great expertise and fresh ideas. I highly recommend Emerald PR."

"Emerald has been participating in developing our brand-new luxury residential villa park, Eötvös12 for a year, since the start of the planning phase. It has been a fruitful cooperation right from the beginning as Emerald have had the clear understanding and unique view of the project like no other agencies before. Our very first meeting was a relief when we realized we found the company that can distil the truth from the information mess and can find the right mix to achieve the goals; but more to that Emerald has the eye to see the far future and keep the balance between the development parties. Their participation in our issue management, PR and marketing activities has become vital for us, their contribution to the development team is always a great joy and experience."

Why Emerald PR?

When it comes to working with clients, we believe that this is the most trust-based relationship a company and an agency can have. Most of our clients trust us with crisis communication or issue management, therefore Emerald PR hardly has the opportunity to submit entries in communication awards. Our clients trust us with sensitive issues, we must live up to their expectations, even if this means that we don’t have a shelf full of awards yet. But our clients know that “finding the agency that breathes in sync with you is like finding a precious gemstone. Like finding an emerald.”

We strongly believe that as pr-professional, we have a huge responsibility as we shape people’s thoughts, attitude, and behaviour, we must understand and encompass the ethical standards of the profession and go even beyond that. We must never forget that our work can have direct and long-term impact on people.

Why Corporate Social Responsibility is not PR

I am a 100% PR-person. I love my profession, my job is not really a job, for me it’s a hobby. Something that I enjoy doing 24/7. But about a decade ago part of my heart was taken by another acronym: CSR. An abbreviation of Corporate Social Responsibility. I immersed...
