Kristina Ivanova
@kristinaivanova
Luxury marketing manager crafting premium brand experiences across retail, campaigns, and digital performance.
What I'm looking for
I bring a luxury-trained eye for brand and detail, shaped by five-star hospitality at EHL and brand activations for Chloé, Hugo Boss, Gucci, and Burberry across European travel retail. I am at my best where creative vision and execution work as one, and where the details never feel like an afterthought.
Most recently, I worked as a Marketing Manager Associate at Amazon in Brussels, Belgium, leading the full marketing experience across one of Europe’s most complex retail environments. I coordinated cross-functional stakeholder teams, managed competing priorities, and owned the homepage merchandising strategy for Amazon Belgium, including campaign content across desktop and mobile in three languages.
I also served as the primary execution lead on the inaugural Amazon Days, briefing the design team, building campaign architecture across two markets in four languages, curating product selection, and delivering a flawless go-live. I drove campaign performance through CTR analysis and reporting, benchmarking against peer European marketplaces and implementing optimisations to improve engagement and commercial performance.
Earlier, as a Junior Marketing Manager for EU Travel Retail, I activated luxury fragrance and beauty brands across EU travel retail, translating global marketing strategies into impactful in-market executions. I managed concurrent activations across multiple European locations, built activation assets from agency briefing through design iterations and global brand approval, and oversaw budgets of up to CHF 100K.
