Universal Events is proud to share that our founder, CEO, and President, Harmony Vallejo, will be featured in the upcoming edition of Marquis Who’s Who, a distinguished publication that recognizes accomplished leaders for their professional integrity and positive impact. 

For more than 100 years, Marquis Who’s Who has celebrated individuals who demonstrate excellence and commitment in their fields. Harmony has built Universal Events on the belief that ethical communication and community-focused branding can help organizations create real change. Being included in Marquis Who’s Who is a meaningful acknowledgement of the work she continues to lead with our dedicated team and clients.

Harmony Vallejo has worked in marketing, communications, and business development for 20+ years. Before founding Universal Events, she began her career at WYTV, a TV station in Youngstown, Ohio. There, she developed an early passion for media and storytelling. She later joined Winners Advertising as a marketing representative, building strong relationships with clients and helping organizations improve their messaging and brand identity. Her experience still influences how we approach every project as a team. 

Harmony earned her bachelor’s degree in communications from Youngstown State University, where she also played Division 1 volleyball and contributed to the school newspaper. That background inspired her to create a career focused on helping others. Today, our company supports a range of for-profit and nonprofit partners through purpose-driven marketing, fundraising, and brand development initiatives.

Harmony leads with humility and consistency. She believes that every person has an opportunity to improve society, no matter how small their contribution may seem. She encourages our team to keep learning, stay grounded, and lead with compassion. The same mindset has helped us build partnerships with organizations that share our vision for meaningful, sustainable progress.

Beyond her leadership here, Harmony continues to mentor and guide emerging leaders, sharing her expertise in ethical communication, organizational growth, and brand development. Her goal has always been to make knowledge accessible to those who dedicate their work to helping others. 

Her inclusion in Marquis Who’s Who is an honor that reflects her personal commitment and the combined spirit of our organization. It reminds us why we do what we do, because clear communication and genuine collaboration can make a lasting difference. 

We’re thrilled to see Harmony’s efforts recognized on such a respected platform, and we look forward to sharing more about her experiences and the impact of this milestone in the months to come. To everyone who has supported Universal Events and the causes we care about, thank you for being part of this story.
