About

I come from psychology, but I ended up in brand communications — and it turns out that understanding why people feel what they feel about a brand is one of the most useful things you can bring to Marketing and PR. Currently finishing my MSc in Marketing Management at ESADE Business School in Barcelona, where my work sits at the intersection of brand strategy, consumer insight, and communications. Before that, I spent eight months at Weber Shandwick in Athens as an Account Executive — managing media intelligence across 500+ sources for 10+ clients, producing strategic insight reports that shaped campaign messaging, and helping execute a flagship event that reached 500,000+ media impressions. Most recently, I conducted a full brand audit of Lacoste in the Iberian premium market — benchmarking luxury perception against five competitors and developing a campaign concept aimed at affluent millennial women. What I care about is the space between what a brand says and what people actually receive. I'm trilingual: Greek (native), English (fluent), French (fluent). I'm available in Barcelona and Paris from August 2026, and hold an EU passport valid across all European markets. Open to roles in brand PR, press communications, and fashion marketing at luxury and premium fashion houses.
