About me

Nicoletta Stefanidou is the kind of creative leader brands call when "good" isn't remotely good enough.

With over two decades spent shaping global brands across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, she operates at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and cultural intelligence, translating complex ideas into campaigns people actually feel. And remember.

Her work spans luxury hospitality, FMCG, and consumer goods, building brand worlds for names like Marriott, City of Dreams, and Mandarin Oriental, as well as category-defining brands such as Mondelez and Cadbury, and iconic houses like Cartier, quietly influencing how destinations, products, and experiences show up in culture.

Nicoletta doesn't just make things look beautiful (although they usually do). She builds systems. Campaign platforms that scale. Narratives that travel. Creative that lands in Hong Kong on Monday, Dubai on Wednesday, and still feels local everywhere, executed with unmistakable Swiss precision.

She has led multidisciplinary teams across continents, directed global campaigns reaching tens of millions, and picked up a respectable number of shiny awards along the way (Cannes Lions, D&AD, The One Show, if you care about that sort of thing).

Most recently, she's been rethinking the agency model itself, pioneering a Creative-as-a-Service approach and integrating AI into the creative process long before it became a buzzword people casually drop into meetings.

Her superpower

And yes, she has all three.
