Béatrice Hug

Melissa is a very detail-oriented person who approaches each and every task with infectious enthusiasm and dedication. She has a unique talent of balancing both strategy and creative in a way that is guaranteed effective results. Being a talented painter and fine artist herself, she is no stranger to art in advertising but chooses to dip her pen in the copywriting ink instead, applying herself so naturally and eloquently to the written word. Melissa is an asset to any team and always has freshly baked goods on hand - definitely a plus.
