building up brand awareness in the minds of the customers and making them sustainably enthusiastic for it
an impact that lasts over time
Happy that you've found me! I'm Estelle Valerie - first of all, I'm not French, but half German and half Dutch. That brings me directly to my love for languages and communication, which I was practically born with, as I grew up speaking three languages - my mother Dutch, my father German and English was spoken at school. Lastly, French followed as my fourth language. I have been able to spend most of my life in wonderful Munich and would be reluctant to choose another place to live, as for me Munich is the perfect mix of city life and nature!
I have been working in PR and communications for over 10 years now and would never want to do anything else because I simply love communicating. One could say that with PR and me, it was love at first sight. It all started in 2014 at the renowned fashion and lifestyle agency Schoeller & von Rehlingen PR. I immediately realized that the PR buzz is exactly my energy and that storytelling is what I can do best! After four exciting years in the luxury fashion and haute joaillerie industry, I decided to switch to the food and lifestyle sector on a freelance basis for two years. This was then followed by two extremely exciting years at the sustainable start-up everdrop. The experience I gained there was essential for my future career path, because it was there that I realized that my true passion is to communicate about products that have an impact. Products that have a vision and try to rethink familiar approaches in a new and more sustainable way. Products that are part of the solution!
To become part of this solution, I decided to set up Estelle Valerie Communication in autumn 2021. My big goal is to use my love for communication and my strong media network to support products that have a real impact and gain more awareness in order to inspire as many people as possible with innovative new approaches. Besides this it is particularly important to me that my work is about sustainable communication, because in times where it's all about quick results, sustainable communication is essential for long-term success.
