Hi! I’m Mikaela. I’ve been working internationally in integrated marketing and communications, development, and social and digital strategy for about 15 years. I’ve been fortunate to gain vast experience on both the client and agency side, non-profit and commercial, helping me become a well-rounded professional who understands the needs of various organizations and audiences.
I have been consulting in marketing, branding, website development and design for 1.5 decades, while also working full-time day jobs. I most recently served as the head of communications for the Dutch-based International Foundation Manifesta (Manifesta Biennial), a nomadic art and cultural biennial. Prior to this I was the head of marketing at the Getty, the world’s largest philanthropic organisation dedicated to the arts, where I was given the opportunity to put together award-winning, highly effective storytelling campaigns which drove visitorship. I also sport years of agency experience which allowed me to design strategic social and digital marketing campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands.
My non-work interests include: almost anything active (running, yoga, wrestling), laughing, puppy cuddles, and studying for my graduate degree in psychology.
