About me

I am a digital marketing and influencer strategy leader with extensive experience in creative campaigns, audience engagement, and brand storytelling. As the Influencer Marketing Lead at a top international technology company, I have worked with global brands such as TikTok, Accenture, Logitech, and CROC Inc., developing impactful, multi-market campaigns that blend creativity, strategy, and measurable success.

I have served as a jury member for prestigious industry awards, including the Shorty Impact Awards and Runet Prize, evaluating work that showcases innovation, execution, and effectiveness across various disciplines. My expertise spans film, digital content, activations, PR, and design, with a focus on campaigns that drive real-world impact and engagement.

Beyond execution, I contribute to industry thought leadership as a co-author of the ARIR Trendbook: Influencer Marketing 2024, a speaker at Astana HUB, and a published author in leading marketing and media outlets (RBC Pro, CNews, Cossa, TAdviser). Holding a Master’s in Global Strategic Communications from Loyola University Chicago, I bring a data-driven, analytical perspective to creative excellence.
