Eleni Ntakou doesn’t just run a creative agency – she syncs the strategy, the voice and the calendar. As co – founder and managing director of Connections, she’s been shaping campaigns, cultural events, and communication ecosystems for over 20 years with the kind of instinct you can’t teach and a vision you can’t miss.
Trained in Classical Philology (yes, Latin and Greek before hashtags were a thing) and armed with a postgraduate degree in Business Administration, Eleni speaks the language of ideas and the logistics of execution. Her superpower? Translating complex concepts into messages that move people – and campaigns that deliver.
She’s led the design and execution of high-impact campaigns, cultural initiatives, and public-facing events for a wide spectrum of clients – from public institutions like the University of Patras, Municipality of Patras, and the Ministry of Culture, to major private-sector brands such as Coca-Cola, Plaisio, and Freskoulis – Eurocatering SA. Her portfolio also includes political campaigns, creative leadership roles, and milestones like the launch of Happy Week, one of Western Greece’s first free-press cultural magazines, and the Happy Faces Awards, a regional creative landmark.
At Connections, Eleni leads integrated strategies where design, storytelling, and cultural identity converge. Her work lives at the intersection of content and connection: bold in vision, refined in execution, and always human-focused. And when it comes to client service, her iPhone is basically her alter ego—on call, on point, and always three steps ahead. Known for her clarity of thought, emotional intelligence, and fearless sense of “what works,” she’s the strategist creatives trust and the creative that strategists want on their side.
Caught between an iMac, a Pantone palette, and a render that’s always “just five more minutes.”
Navigating between blueprints, cultural hubs, and airports – constantly on the move, connecting spaces and stories.
She may be the youngest in the room, but she’s often the one setting the pace…
