In terms of companies/industries, I'm open to everything new, but more attracted to PR agencies or fashion/entertainment/event companies.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Yelyzaveta: It is okay not to know something or make mistakes, especially at the beginning of your career. It doesn't make you stupid or untalented.

This experience includes traditional performance-based influencer marketing, creating integrated marketing campaigns to run alongside GTM strategies, creating and growing data-driven affiliate marketing programs, and spearheading creator partnerships directives for tech companies. In addition to the more technical and data-based aspects of my experience, I have also executed a handful of events, New York Fashion Week partnerships, product collaborations with macro influencers and global brands, press/influencer trips, and unique gifting experiences. With a background in copywriting, social media, and PR, I am passionate about creative storytelling and bringing fresh perspectives to campaigns and consumers.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?

Managing and training a team of 4 new hires while concurrently working towards lofty, time sensitive goals reinforced managerial principles like the art of delegation, open communication, effective preparedness, and trust. I am still so proud of my previous team for what we accomplished together.
Another thing that was reinforced for me was the importance of continually leaning into the creative minds of influencers and connecting beyond the content brief because most of the time, establishing meaningful partnerships happens outside the confines of a campaign.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
