I'm Gabriela Surkin, marketing and creative director, who recently moved to New York after being granted an ""O-1 Visa for extraordinary ability"" for my marketing expertise. I have extensive experience managing marketing campaigns and leading cross-functional teams. My global expertise includes various continents, including South America, Europe, and North America. Among my achievements, I won a TikTok Award for my innovative financial strategy for Prestalo, which earned the title of having the best financial channel on the platform. I also spearheaded successful campaigns for Finmarie, helping the Berlin-based financial startup to achieve early-stage funding of EUR 1.4 million. Furthermore, I created a LinkedIn campaign that helped elevate Finmarie's founder, Karolina Decker, to recognition as one of Germany's 50 most influential advisors. Additionally, I was awarded AAM's prestigious best marketing campaign for my contributions to Radio Mitre S.A. Recently, I was a juror at the New York Festival Awards 2024. I established my fashion brand, MIIST, which garnered attention from leading publications such as Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and La Nacion. My designs were showcased at the National Costume Museum of Argentina, and I presented three capsules at the Buenos Aires Fashion Week.
