One of the most valuable lessons I learned is that clear communication is crucial for successful project execution and smooth organization.

Accomplishments

An examples of projects I love and I am proud of.


Acer Bulgaria at Adventure Comic Con 2018

Acer Bulgaria participated in the event as a sponsor. Our task was to develop a creative concept for the booth and manage marketing activities before and during the event. The challenge was to creatively integrate the Acer Predator laptops into the fairy-tale, magical atmosphere of the event. We decided to give attendees the opportunity to become and experience their favorite characters by offering professional makeup at the booth. As soon as the doors opened, a line of people formed in front of our booth. But let’s rewind for a moment. How did we involve the laptops and the brand in the promotion? We placed a catalog of characters on the laptops, allowing people to interact with the brand while they waited.
