HELLO.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
Been there. Done that. Lived the struggle—headless chicken, hamster wheel, rat race. I played the game, chased achievements, and lost myself in the process.
I thought struggle was just part of the deal. Everyone’s got their battles, right? Success has a price tag, doesn’t it?
But here’s the thing: it wasn’t reality. It was an illusion of it, not knowing any better, I created in my own mind without even realising it.
Breaking free, I discovered something big: life and business are only as effortful as we make them.
Effortlessness isn’t a luxury—it’s our natural state. All it takes is the guts to uncover it.
That’s where I come in. Now it’s your turn to break free.

Erin Andrea is an incredibly strong leader and a terrific colleague. Her key strengths include business planning, brand development and marketing execution. She truly understands the value of consumer insight, which leads to the right balance between rational and emotional communication. Her ability to stretch a tight budget and execute a well-rounded plan is truly astounding. I was both amazed and grateful for her level of openness and collaboration.
Rebecca Goltzman Singer
Erin is one of the best insights and strategic planning brains I know. Her skills are based on unusual for a marketer knowledge and understanding of research methodologies and the ability to set the right objectives for the studies leading to actionable insights. Her analytical skills and consumer understanding help her develop well-grounded and powerful strategies and integrated communication. Besides, she's a pleasure to work with - very committed to what she's doing and truly owns the result, despite any time or resource constraints.
Katerina Podtserkovskaya
Erin has successfully driven the brand to increase its market share by 50% within one year, significantly improving its profitability and brand health indicators, and overtaking the key competitors in wider geographies. Overall it resulted in the brand now being the number one International Premium brand, and Erin's team being recognised by the company (and external parties) as the leading brand team within the company.
She has a natural talent to motivate people. She has demonstrated a strong ability to coach individuals, being honest, constructive and positive. She creates an environment where ideas are communicated willingly and openly by welcoming and appreciating individual attributes, opinions and expertise. She is a leader who creates the desire to excel.

Erin is a highly motivating person to work with! Great at bringing new ideas and solutions to old problems and challenges; a solid understanding of different cultures; always looking under every stone for that relevant and actionable insight, and most importantly doing the best for brands and the business. Planning, insights and brand management... A great skill set.
Tim Carey
Erin Andrea has progressed in the company based on a strong track record of performance. She has developed her technical skills to the point where we were comfortable entrusting her with this role, arguably our most important brand management position. In addition to her brand marketing skills, she has developed her managerial skills to a high degree. Her people management skills are evidenced by her own brand team and by her positive relations with external and internal contacts. Personally, I have always found Erin capable, enthusiastic, forthright, committed and honest. She has, by nature an inquisitive mind, and enjoys learning new skills and applying them.
David Steer
Erin Andrea is really very goal-oriented professional with a strong vision and ability to deliver this vision to all parties involved in creating and managing an ad campaign, starting from a deep understanding of consumers and customers of all levels to the ability to activate the brand with limited resources availability and openness to non-traditional communication channels to provide better ROI. Erin owns great taste in judging creatives and can apply it to get best solutions.

Erin Andrea is fantastic at using her brand strategy development skills and consumer insight understanding to get the best out of brand development in domestic markets without compromising on global brand strategy. She is very quick to see the bigger picture, identify gaps in positioning and communication, and come up with an actionable insight plan to get the best out of long-term brand development.
Erin is very passionate and energetic and will always speak her mind in a very honest and open way. Erin is great at providing a strong challenge that really helps the global functions she interacts with to improve their plans further. Overall a great colleague and huge fun to work with too.

Erin was instrumental in improving our commercial position in Russia and the CIS, she used a consumer and insight-centred approach to local development through a mix of strategic thinking, decision-making, and solutions delivery, thus proving her integrated communication planning skills. She was also able to come up with strong consumer-relevant creative solutions and challenge established thinking so as to build long-term brand profitability.
Shaun Davis
Erin Andrea's greatest strength is her passion and enthusiasm for brands and consumers - which she has brought to all the brands in her portfolio. She has great skills in strategic and creative brand planning, and brand equity building, but equally in target audience understanding and insight generation. Erin is also a strong people manager. She has a great sense of humour, and is able to work with people at all levels in the organisation.
From a personal point of view, I have found Erin fun to work with, but still focused and committed to getting to the right answer. She is prepared to listen to all sides in a debate, but will always give you an honest opinion and challenge when needed.

I have known Erin for more than six years. Erin is a strong brand marketing professional, passionate about brands, brand equity, and consumer, looking for the “reason why” and finding this true connection between the brand and its target audience. She is very strategic, creative, and aesthetic and has a good “language sensibility” that is a great help in the development of key brand messages.
Personality-wise, I have always found Erin integral, honest, fair, constructive, and supportive, with a high level of emotional intelligence, the ability to understand somebody else’s perspective and a good sense of humour. She is dedicated, responsible, result-focused, and excellent in making things happen yet a warm, easy and fun person to work with.

On joining the team Eirene Andrea quickly developed a close and positive working relationship with the team at the agency. Working on major projects with tight deadlines she has always maintained a professional and motivational approach that in turn has enabled to deliver exceptional campaigns which has been reflected in the brand performance. Activities have taken place across a wide range of channels and Eirene has shown excellent creative and strategic thinking across many areas. From providing quality briefs, working with Tarantula in order to develop the most effective solutions, celebrating the successes and learning from each project it has been very rewarding to work with her.

WHAT I BELIEVE IN

ALL PEOPLE HOLD A SPECIAL VALUE THAT'S TIED SOLELY TO THEIR HUMANITY.
OUR TRUE POTENTIAL EXTENDS BEYOND WHO WE THINK WE ARE.
OUR WORLD AND OURSELVES ARE ILLUSORY CONSTRUCTS THAT CAN BE ALTERED UPON OUR WILL.
WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE TO CHANGE WHAT WE CAN CONTROL AND LET GO OF WHAT WE CAN'T.
A BUSINESS MIRRORS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL COMFORT, CONFIDENCE, AND CLARITY OF ITS LEADER.
IMPROVEMENT CAN'T BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING AND HONOURING THE ROOT CAUSE.
THERE IS NO FREEDOM WITHOUT ETHICS - RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IMPACT WE CREATE.
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING MEANING IN OUR OWN LIVES.
KNOWLEDGE AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ARE FOUNDATIONS OF MASTERY.
FREEDOM IS BOTH OUR BIRTHRIGHT AND A FORCE FOR GOOD.
UNBOUND TRUTHS OF EFFORTLESSNESS

ILLUSORY CONSTRAINTS
World we experience is created moment-to-moment by our thoughts based on individual perceptions. Society, others, even yourself - your mind has built an illusory world filled with interpretations, desires, attachments, and expectations. But once you see through the illusion, you stop playing by invisible rules. Reality isn’t fixed—it’s what you make of it.

DIGNIFIED FREEDOM
True freedom isn’t rebellion for the sake of it. It’s the power to define yourself—without outsourcing your identity to culture, tradition, others' expectations or past events. When you strip away the noise, what remains is self-determination, dignity, untapped potential, and the responsibility to own your life and your choices.

DEEP-ROOTED MEANING
You don’t “find” meaning—you create it. These words filled with 'grandeur' - fulfilment, self-actualisation, resilience - they do matter and this is what meaning brings in. It’s not in some grand purpose or external validation but in the choices you make every day. When you cut through the mental fog, what’s left is clarity, drive, and a life that actually feels like yours.

ETHICAL CREATION
Integrity isn’t just a moral checkbox—it’s the foundation of a life well-lived. It's about more harmonious relationships in an interconnected world and sleeping well at night, knowing you didn’t sell yourself out. It’s also about creating from a place of self-worth and self-respect. And in a world that runs on transactions, it’s the rarest form of power.

INNER PEACE
Inner peace isn’t passivity—it’s unshakable confidence married to mental calmness. It’s living in accordance with your true self, honouring yourself, and sailing through life undisturbed instead of accepting struggle as inevitable. When you align with your nature, you stop chasing, fearing or proving. You are your best self. You master life instead of being mastered by it.

BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL, BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DON'T MATTER, AND THOSE WHO MATTER DON'T MIND.
Bernard M. Baruch

Erin, I just wanted to thank you for all your support and guidance throughout my time in the company. You have always believed in me and supported me. You gave me guidance and challenged where necessary but have always been fair and open-minded. You gave me the opportunity to speak up and I am truly grateful for this, for your support and most of all for your friendship during this tricky time. I hope our paths cross again in the future.
