I am Virginia Kollarou and I am a visual designer. I love helping companies build their corporate image and their products’ branding. At this moment I work as a Head of Creative at Peoplecert, a global leader in the certification industry.
My mission is to help companies create a powerful and unique online and offline presence and design their identity in a way that inspires and builds confidence in their abilities, products and services.
I own a BA in European Civilization and History studies, a diploma in Design and a degree in Digital Marketing by the Chartered Institute of Marketing in UK. I am also a certified Google Adwords partner.
I have worked in advertisement and in the Cycladic Art museum. For 6 years, I run my own creative agency, Artfish. Running my own business has equipped me with various skills from diverse fields like deep knowledge of designing, handling accounts and managing teams of people from different fields. I have years of cooperation with a broad clientele of smaller & bigger companies, across various business sectors Retail/ Beauty/ Drug/ Banking/ Food/ Public (P&G, Wella, Texaco, Hellenic Bank, Nomarhiako KEK etc).
My cooperation with Procter and Gamble for various projects, offline and online communication for diverse brands like Pampers, Ariel, Fairy, Lenor, Oral-b, Pantene etc. is translated into deep knowledge & understanding of client’s culture, needs and processes and a knowledge of shopper environment including Beauty/Drug channel, and holistic network of efficient local production agencies.
