About Marina

🎯 Need reinforcement to create a memorable event or structure your communication? I help you transform your ideas into concrete, impactful, and well-orchestrated projects.



As an Event and Communication Project Manager, I support SMEs and agencies seeking flexibility, creativity, and efficiency. My core business? Imagining, coordinating, and bringing meaningful events to life – while ensuring fluid, targeted, and engaging communication.


🎈 Corporate events, exceptional parties, trade shows, charity campaigns, seminars… I can handle turnkey projects or strengthen your teams during the production phase. Every detail counts, and I make it a point of honor to go beyond the brief to surprise and captivate.


🧩 Communication: a natural extension of my event missions. Content writing, communication plans, newsletters, social media, print or digital materials… I help you stay connected with your target audiences throughout the year.


💡 What sets me apart:
- A dual corporate & non-profit profile, with 10 years of experience in agencies, companies, and non-profits.
- A human, agile, and proactive approach, fueled by curiosity and attention to detail.
- A solid network of responsive, reliable, and committed service providers.
- A constant desire to propose new ideas and explore unexpected formats to surprise.


📌 Some concrete examples:
- Organization of an immersive charity dinner (+€30k raised)
- Company anniversary party at Docks de Paris, +600 attendees.
- Coordination of a 110m² stand at a professional trade show,
- Writing of B2C and B2B flyers
