curriculum vitae march 2014 raffaella s. isidori I work with communication, in the widest sense of the term: from the strategy to its implementation, from branding, to event design and production. My approach is simple and effective: care, creativity, a professional approach, experience and sustainability. Alongside managers and decision makers, through the identification of effective communication strategies and through the creation and management of all necessary aspects that positively translate the communication needs into actions, I develop successful integrated communication projects, coordinating professional experts for sustainable and effective solutions and implementing the most opportune tools to reach the desired target. What I do: branding (strategy, naming and logo design) • creative & strategic communication consulting - corporate & product (positioning, presentations, on-line presence) • integrated communication • cultural and linguistic localization • graphic & web design • copy writing & translations • content design • motion media design work history Since 1997 • raffaella isidori thesign - Gerenzano (Va) Italy • www.thesign.it - Owner/Creative Director raffaella isidori thesign is a creative lab for integrated communication and brand building where old school experience meets new technologies and new media. Thinking out of the schemes, I take pleasure in working like a craftsman on tailor-made projects.
