Mayday.conf
Cluj-Napoca / 2019
Digital promotion built around an event, its audience and its moment.
Funding, technology and communication should not live in separate rooms.
Strong projects usually fail at the seams: a good idea that is poorly explained, a strong consortium without a coherent narrative, or a digital product disconnected from its audience.
My work sits across those seams, connecting strategic thinking, communication and execution into something that can actually move.

04 / Gabriel
Clear thinking for complicated work.
My background spans public relations, public communication, digital media, marketing campaigns and European-funded programmes.
I started in information and public communication roles and developed my work through PR advisory and spokesperson responsibilities. Over more than two decades, that experience expanded into digital media, campaign management, content and strategic communication.
I tend to work as a problem solver and a storyteller: understanding what has to change, finding a practical route forward, and communicating it in a way that can influence interest, perspective and decisions. The work still has to be ethical, legal and realistic about budget.
DigiPR brings that experience together across Romania and the EU, connecting public relations, digital strategy, content and project work.

AI & Education
AI should strengthen expertise, not imitate it.
Where AI helps in project development and where human judgement remains essential. ↗
Communication
Clarity is not simplification.
How to communicate complex organisations without sanding off what makes them valuable. ↗
