About Us

Smokin Branded is dedicated to helping businesses craft, build and grow their brands to leave a lasting impression. "Smokin" is not a typo - a fig (smokinia in Bulgarian) symbolises knowledge, enlightenment and passion. This is the approach we strive to embody in our work - we trust data, insights and our own love for helping brands be seen and flourish.
I’m a freelance professional and often work with a network of like-minded experts with different capabilities. We offer a portfolio of services and holistic solutions for your marketing challenges. I was most recently Brand Manager at The Coca-Cola Company, having previously worked in PR and advertising in the UK. For over 10 years I’ve helped dozens of brands tell their stories, boost marketing effectiveness and achieve their business goals.
If we work together you can expect a reliable, open and dedicated partner committed to growth, creativity and turning challenges into opportunities.
