Olya Chukovskaya
@olyachukovskaya
I create brand stories, campaigns, and cultural experiences from strategy through production.
What I'm looking for
At MitVivid for Vivid Money, I created the creative concept, positioning, and visual identity for founder stories, building a scalable format for European markets. I expanded the work into a multi-format social content system that achieved 600%+ ROI on organic reach.
As Co-Founder and Creative Director of Chukovsky Festival, I shape annual creative themes, visual worlds, programming, and audience experiences. I grew the festival from a €1K starting budget to 5,000 registrations and 3,000 guests while integrating partners and sponsors without compromising its identity.
I've developed concepts and led production for adidas, Coca-Cola, Converse, Yandex, Vogue, Esquire, and cultural projects. My background in fashion editorial, film directing, creative strategy, and hands-on production helps me take ideas from brief to final execution.
