Eleni meraki

FOUNDER

I love the color red, cinnamon and am frequently to be seen with my favorite pen and Moleskine sipping a coffee in a local café.

I spent my 20s studying (BSc in Economics & MA in Marketing), traveling around the globe, and working for the world’s most influential brands in the advertising industry in Amsterdam. In my 30s I took a leap of faith and exchanged my corporate career in pursuit of finding more fulfillment in my life. I started writing, designing and studying to become a life coach and hypnotherapist. In 2020 I founded Meraki Branding combining my skills and passions with my purpose to make a positive change in people’s lives and this world.

ACCOUNT DIRECTOR & COPYWRITER

I’m a culture vulture, self-proclaimed nomad and polyglot with a love for travel and putting the proverbial pen to paper.

A third-culture kid; my passion for travel, meeting new people and exploring the road less traveled brought me to the next chapter of my life; recently trading in corporate America for sunny Athens, Greece with my dog Palmer. There is no doubt that my skill set has been refined with each and every career-building step.My degree in International business and proficiency in 6 languages has given me the pleasure of working with a variety of individuals from around the world while maintaining a sensitivity to cultural differences; while my creative experience, the ability to bring life to communications strategy and creative visions. I love helping brands tell their unique story while creating and sustaining meaningful partnerships.
