I am a Creative, a Project Manager, a Collaborator.

In no particular order.

This is me!As a creative with a digital-first mindset, my focus is on crafting branded stories across all touchpoints, effectively translating strategy into functional design, all in collaboration with product, sales and branding teams.

As a project manager blending my creative and organizational skills, I deliver marketing solutions based on insights, creative thinking, and collaborative execution ­– on-target, on-time, on-budget.

My biggest passion – teamwork. Connecting all the different functions into a cohesive team – one that can handle difficult projects effectively and seamlessly. I believe it takes a team with diverse strength to deliver successfully to rapidly evolving markets.

What others have to say

  • Marina is a creative professional who has consistently delivered top quality work – direct mail, collateral, advertising and web solutions – the list goes on. As Chief Operating Officer of Winning Directions, I’ve worked directly with Marina for over 6 years and in that time she has impressed me with her ability to think creatively and constructively. She immerses herself into every job and strives to exceed expectations. In the fast-paced environment of political campaigns, I relied on her to lead the staff artists, deliver on time and keep her humor. I would work together again in the future and I wish her nothing but success. I recommend Marina enthusiastically.

    Peter Moran, Owner at PJM Creative

  • It is with great please and enthusiasm that I am writing this recommendation on behalf of Marina Luderer. Her artistic talent and technical knowledge, an unusual combination, have been central to products and projects she has worked on with me over the last several years. Marina made significant contributions to the design and development of the digital edition of @GAMER, the custom-published magazine created for Best Buy, and for the newsletters created for Riverbed Technologies. Her technical knowledge made her designs efficient, and her marketing acumen made them effective. She is a self-starter and team player, and is diligent in asking for what she needs to produce great solutions and results. I recommend Ms. Luderer without reservation.

    David Barrow, Director, Customer Content Creation at Future US

  • I have used Marina to design and develop my new companies web site and corporate identity. I am exceedingly happy with the quality of her work and highly professional ethos in getting things done by a deadline. Above all else her creative talents are second to none and she has helped deliver the identity for Squeeze Technology that I originally had in my head and more. She took me through all phases of the process quickly and easily making suggestions and recommendations for my industry that she had researched. From initiation to final delivery and I couldn’t be more happy. You will not regret using Marina Luderer’s services for any of your design and creative requirements and you will benefit from many years of her global experience.
