2024 seems to keep being a lucky year as I am beyond thrilled to share that I have been selected as one of the 19 incredible women to participate in the #SeeItBeIt 10th anniversary program Cohort! 🌟 And guess what? We're heading to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this year! ;)

Out of more than 1400 applications, 18 amazing women and myself were selected so I feel extremely proud and grateful for this huge responsibility.

This opportunity is not just a personal triumph, but a testament to the power of creative women coming together to uplift and empower one another. 💪💖

McCann Romania

Worked as art director working on all Coca-Cola brands locally and regionally from McCann Bucharest HUB. Apart from these 9 brands, we also played an important role on global accounts such as Beko or Mastercard together with several local market leaders such as Neumarkt (Heineken) and Regina Maria Private Healthcare Network. The hard work we put into and the awesome team we were surrounded with led us to win many awards in many different festivals (including a Silver Lion at Cannes).
