Self-promotion is the key to success?
Bartosz Cichocki, former ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Kiev, draws attention to the differences in communication strategies between countries. — “Germans are world champions in self-promotion. The British have a strong presence in Ukraine – they are better at marathons, while we specialize in sprints.” – he says. In his opinion, the Polish authorities, despite their significant contribution to helping Ukraine, less often highlight their activities, which may affect their reception abroad.
