WHAT I DON'T DO
I don't do anything because "this is the way to do it". I make the way to do it.
My effective hour covers a lifetime of expertise and practice, so I never charge by the hour.
Out of respect for myself and my partners, I don't enter unpaid pitches.
I don't test your reliability because trust is not something you win, but rather a thing you lose. And I also believe in karma.
I don't try to win you over with fancy presentations or brag about my portfolio. I cherry-pick and I expect the same.
I don't compete with anybody. I am good at what we do and I bring my unique mix into working with you.
I don't put you first, I put your own clients first, while caring about everything you need to better serve them. We are all final clients who deserve things well done.
FEES
I am very flexible in the way I choose my projects and I only do what you need.
Fees take into account the extent of the involvement and the resources used.
I deliver fast and high-quality for two reasons:
- I invest in myself on a daily basis
- I don't need to be busy all the time.
HOW MY WORK LANDS
Working with Raluca is creating a partnership. She is a unique star in this world, bringing depth, researched based-approach, professionalism, humility and humanity. She partnered with me and identified my core essence to create a marketing strategy that isn't selling me, but representing me. From the greater understanding of the market to the smallest details of the logo and branding - all unique, personal, and voicing my strengths.

Gently but firmly she holds our direction, imposes the action, and gives me peace of mind that if she takes on a project, it’s in good hands.

I have found Raluca to be a loyal, trustworthy, ethical and generous person who is not afraid to take on a challenging task and who has the can-do-spirit which inspires people. She is the right person for any role that would require a creative individual with distinct abilities to think out of the box. Raluca had the ambition to pull together the personal strengths to turnaround things, people and situations so that the final success may seem as the natural one.
