Marketing + Photography
= Impact

Katarina Smelikova
Director
My name is Katarina Smelikova and I’m the Director of Flash Marketing. I help start-ups, small to medium size businesses, government and NGOs with their branding, marketing, training and photography needs.
Over the last few years, I’ve worked with Pollinators Inc., a member-based social enterprise, on various projects such as Digital Enterprise, the Goodness Festival and the “Night Before” Laneway party.
I live in Geraldton, a scenic town located on the West coast of Australia. My partner and I moved here from Sydney in 2013, and we love it here. There are so many good things I could tell you about Geraldton. I especially love the community spirit, fast NBN Internet and the great life-style.
What I Do When I’m Not Working
I love socialising with friends or chilling out on our veranda which has a great river view. I teach and practice Pilates and yoga. I like reading books or walking our furry friend Cindy.
I support numerous charities and I am an ongoing supporter of Medecins Sans Frontieres.

I have worked with Kat on a couple of projects now and she is incredible to work with. She is completely professional and took the time to understand the needs of the business and understand the look and feel we were after with our photos. She worked funny hours to get the light right and make sure we got the best outcome possible. The best part was her laugh! It is infectious making the whole process fun. Wholeheartedly recommend working with her on whatever your project. You will get a professional outcome and have fun in the process.Lisa Farnell Financial Advisor | Financial Solutions Geraldton
Flash Marketing did some amazing work in our magazine (The CEO Magazine). I contacted them with such short notice, and they got the job done up the our standards. If you are ever looking for a friendly, reliable photographer they are perfect for the job!Chloe McCrudden Office Manager | Bean Media (The CEO Magazine)
Katarina has been an amazing help! I was struggling to create a clear an decisive marketing strategy for my business. Katarina took the time to really get inside of and understand my business. I was always sceptical of marketing consultants: they are big on talk but little on outcomes. Katarina is a breath of fresh air with her strategies and concrete outcomes. I would recommend everyone to utilise her, especially if you want real value for your marketing dollar.Tom Gorman, Principal | Predator Performance Lighting
I highly recommend Katarina for anyone wanting to have professional photographs taken for their business. Katarina is highly professional, very patient, punctual and provides alternative suggestions which made my photos look amazing. Thank you Katarina. Priscilla Clayton Principal | Clayton Consulting WA
I hired Katarina to assist our hospital with a sensitive internal reorganisation, which required a project manager with a great deal of discretion, diplomacy and excellent people skills. She proved herself to be an exceptional fit with our people and delivered good outcomes across all three projects. Katarina has a positive energy and attitude and treated all our staff with thoughtfulness, respect, and due consideration. Katarina competently mapped and analysed workflows, prioritised and delivered each task according to its given deadline. I would be happy to recommend Katarina for similar roles.
