About

Hi, I'm Kristina! 👋 A brand strategist and creative team manager with 9+ years in global marketing — from Shanghai to Helsinki. I help brands cut through the noise with campaigns that are strategic, creative, and rooted in cultural insight. I spent a number of years in China, where I led a full-stack social media team to create impactful global social media campaigns for Acer's brands Predator Gaming and ConceptD (awarded with the Red Dot Design Award, iF Design Award, and recognized at New York Festivals Advertising Awards). Curiosity is what drives me — whether it’s building international brands, experimenting with new formats, or exploring ideas at the edge of culture, tech, and creativity.
