I am a highly experienced Marketing and PR professional with a robust background in strategic communication and brand management. Currently, I serve as the Marketing & PR Director at GPoland Sp. z o.o., where I have been successfully building and executing PR strategies for renowned brands like Max Mara, Armani Exchange, and Liu Jo for nearly eight years. My role involves managing media relations, developing comprehensive 360 communication campaigns, and leading new business projects. I am adept at event management, project leadership, and budget administration, ensuring that each campaign aligns with our corporate communication goals and elevates brand awareness. Prior to this, I worked as the Communications and Advertising Manager at Verona Cosmetics, where I developed brand identities, coordinated media relations, and managed advertising campaigns. With over six years of experience as a Senior PR Manager at Testa Communications, I honed my skills in project management, PR strategy implementation, and consulting. I have a strong educational background with a Master’s degree in Management from Uniwersytet Warszawski and a Bachelor’s degree from Wyższa Szkoła Biznesu filia National Louis University. My proficiency in English and Polish, along with elementary German, complements my ability to navigate and excel in diverse professional environments.Tech Stack
