In today’s rapidly shifting digital landscape, where information overload challenges both brands and consumers, marketing expert Olena Iashchenko has emerged as one of the most influential voices shaping the future of strategic communication. Her work combines scientific research, behavioral insight, and innovative analytical frameworks to redefine how organizations understand meaning, build trust, and navigate complexity.
For more than two decades, she has been developing methodologies that help companies reduce information noise, enhance strategic precision, and communicate with clarity in a world overloaded with signals. Her expertise is recognized globally, both in the academic community and among industry leaders.
From Practice to Theory: The Foundations of an Expert
Olena’s professional philosophy was formed through years of hands-on work in companies such as BalticTex and the Trade Guild (later renamed the Ukrainian Trade Guild). These environments exposed her to the real challenges businesses face when communication is fragmented, markets are unstable, and decision-making is clouded by excess information.
This practical foundation eventually evolved into a structured scientific approach, where every method she developed in the field was later validated through academic research. Her ability to translate real-world observations into evidence-based strategies became a defining element of her expertise.

Her membership in both national and international associations underscores her status as a recognized expert whose work influences marketing standards beyond geographical borders.
Educational Contribution: Lectures, Webinars, and Industry Development
Over the past several years, Olena has conducted multiple lectures, online courses, and professional webinars for marketing students and young specialists. These sessions focused on crisis communication, analytical thinking, information noise, emotional intelligence in marketing, and predictive decision-making.
Her teaching is highly valued not because she presents theory, but because she shares real methodologies, born from real business challenges. She has become a mentor for emerging professionals who seek clarity in a field overwhelmed by trends, tools, and contradictory advice.

Expert Reviewer and Judge: Recognition of Authority
Olena’s expertise is trusted at the highest professional levels. She has served as a jury member and expert reviewer for international marketing and business competitions — including the prestigious Digital Marketing Global Awards, where she evaluated the work of other professionals.
This role is a critical indicator of her authority in the field: only recognized experts with deep knowledge and proven contributions are selected to judge the work of peers at such events. Her participation reflects the industry’s confidence in her judgment, analytical precision, and strategic insight.
Scientific Research and Authorial Contributions
Olena is the author of ten academic publications, most of which are individual works reflecting her personal research and intellectual contribution to modern marketing. Her studies explore:

One of the collaborative projects — the article on informational noise published in the International Journal of Accounting and Economics Studies, indexed in Scopus — contributed important analytical insights to her broader research direction. Although written with colleagues, it aligns with her long-standing academic interest in the mechanisms of perception and decision-making in oversaturated information environments.
