044 - Christmas special with Gabriele Valodskaite & Ruta Naujokaite

In this episode we are continuing the tradition we have started one year ago. 

See full episode recording and notes here: https://www.lithuaniandreampodcast.com/post/045-why-do-we-need-branding-interview-with-viktorija-kravcova

Back in 2020, in the first week of a new year we talked with Kotryna Kurt about personal branding on Linkedin. This year our host Ruta Naujokaite invited Viktorija Kravcova to talk about company branding.

Viktorija is a brand consultant based in Berlin. She has been working in creative industries for almost a decade, and during that time she worked with international and German brands, such as Ferrero Group that owns Mon Chéri, Kinder Bueno, Ferrero Rocher, and Mercedes-Benz. 
She is also part of the Factory Berlin ecosystem of creators from tech, creative, and corporate industries. 

Now she is working as an independent brand consultant. Today we will talk with her about brand and why it is important for any organisation.
