Bio
Jason Killingsworth
I had the pleasure of working in a creative content team with Manuela. She is a bright spark, exhibiting reliably great taste and an eagerness to shepherd any creative pitch that enters the world merely decent and transform it into something remarkable.
Tom Ebsworth
Manuela is a smart, level headed, efficient and creative person. She made the move from Localisation to become part of the EU Marketing team for Riot and League of Legends. It is no small thing to make a complete change of craft, but Manuela took it in her stride. She was able to demonstrate remarkable aptitude for the role, was not afraid to ask questions, and subsequently learned & developed at a rapid pace. As she grew in the role, Manuela became incredibly effective in blending together her creative ingenuity, with strong publishing campaign elements, grounded in crystal clear branding strategy. She is also a very effective team player, able to contribute to a variety of different groups, while also showing no qualms about stepping up to lead when the project success requires it.
