KATARINA PEPICHOVA

Katarina believes in the power of simplicity, creativity, and fearless storytelling. As a Global Creative Producer and Art Buyer, she has spent over a decade shaping campaigns that don’t just capture attention—they leave a lasting impact.

Her work has earned recognition from Cannes Lions, LIA Awards, AICP, SHOT Awards, WPP, Fast Company, The Webby Awards, and more. From concept to execution, she thrives on leading multidisciplinary teams, navigating complex productions, and launching brand initiatives that are on time, on budget, and on point.

Before carving her path as a freelancer, Katarina brought her expertise to industry powerhouses like Wieden+Kennedy, Calvin Klein, adidas, Philips, and Ogilvy & Mather. Her background is a fusion of design thinking and filmmaking, with a Master’s degree from Valand Academy of Art and Design in Sweden and a specialized documentary filmmaking course at the University of Amsterdam.

Beyond the world of production, she’s a passionate mentor, team builder, and advocate for change. She actively challenges gender bias in the advertising industry through organizations like Girls in Film, Femme Palette, and Free The Work—because creativity should have no limits, and neither should opportunity.
