About me 〰️

Hi, I'm Vanessa, founder of studio sabbatical and Strategy Director with 9+ years of building brand strategy, partnerships, and go-to-market campaigns for global fashion and lifestyle companies.

My foundation comes from Universal Music Group, where I managed brand strategy and campaigns for all sub-labels for 3 years, and from several European ad agencies (i.e. Kemmler Kemmler) where I turned data-driven insight into pitches and positioning that win clients, and have a strong passion for facilitating workshops.

Based between Berlin and Nazaré, I'm frequently traveling across Europe for work and always happy to explore new places for projects.
