Ines Sikkens

My career has taken me from design studios in Lisbon and New York to advertising multinationals such as HAVAS, designing for international brands such as Accenture, Microsoft, Deloitte, IBM, HSBC, Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz, UBS, Macquarie, Fitch, Samsung, and more.

At top Event Agencies I designed for several high-profile, award-winning events with over 6000 attendees, earning multiple awards and industry recognition. Over the years I’ve cultivated strong relationships with many of these clients, leading to recurring collaborations on major events, reflecting my commitment to delivering exceptional results and fostering client trust.

As a founding member of an Experiential Activation Agency, I contributed for the agency to become an industry leader and receive the Agency of the Year Award. My role involved driving the creative process and developing impactful experiential marketing and guerrilla strategies, from concept to implementation.

Currently as the Creative Art Director at Touchcast - New York, I’ve directed the concept for over 30 Immersive Event Experiences and 3D environments for major brands, covering a large range of settings and industries, from large auditoriums and town halls to automotive showrooms and futuristic concept spaces.

I have led the design of experiences for prominent brands, including the innovative Metaverse Showroom for Fiat - Stellantis, which achieved substantial media attention or the recently launched Mercedes-Benz Vans Virtual Showroom. Additionally, I lead the brand and marketing strategies for the company, while shaping the identity for new AI products supported by Microsoft.

Based in Lisbon GMT, I am experienced in working across timezones to ensure seamless project success and I’m fully available to travel as needed to facilitate collaboration.
