It’s that time of year again. The Collective Christmas Dinner. A fun-filled evening of fun and laughter – and that’s just my speech. This year’s location is upstairs at: Eetcafe van Buuren, Sarphatipark 4, Amsterdam, 020 675 9945. It’s near The Collective office – the other end of the Sarphatipark. Drinks from 6.30pm. Dinner 7.30pm. 14 euros for a main course approx. (an optional 3-courses for 21.50). Excl. drinks. Payment on the day. (The location has changed from the Waag because it was too expensive.) Hope to see you all there. Please RSVP to sharlene@thecollective-europe.com in advance. Guests welcome.

ROXANA ILINCA- ROMANIAN

Copywriter
I am a passion driven professional, I love my job and I’m sure I could do nothing else better. I’m experienced in both ATL and BTL, flexible in style and manner and I never walk on the same path twice. I like to do things differently each and every time, but following a coherent line, so that none of the brands I’m in charge with alter its’ identity strength. I always try to find the perfect match between the idea and its’ materialization. That’s why I’ve chosen an art partner who helps me make an idea-shape-material whole.

CATALIN ILINCA- ROMANIAN

Designer
I am a talented creative, flexible in style, manner and field, highly sensitive to detail and with a perfectionist attitude.
My experience includes work in print media (ad prints, brochures, posters, stamps, book covers, outdoors etc.), interactive media (web sites, cd-rom's), animation (2D& 3D), motion graphics (intro movies, video editings), illustrations and corporate identities. Due to my working for many clients (BBDO Bucharest, Sony, Philip Morris, Leo Burnett Bucharest, USAID, General Electric, National Democratic Institute, The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others) and my contacts with different environments,
I have become a versatile professional, experienced in art direction, freelance and corporate work.

NIGEL LUHMAN

Copywriter
Having learnt the tricks of the trade at a global publishing house, I have been putting my love of language to good use as a copywriter and journalist since 1995. And I must admit English is a very handy tool for the job. In the meantime, my client list includes international corporations and advertising agencies located throughout Germany. Companies clever enough to hire someone to write their copy for the target audience from the very start. And not simply have their own ideas translated...

KERSTIN HEYMACH
