About Me
Home / About Me
Hi, my name is Yvonne Ivanescu, let me tell you a little bit about myself…
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I started out with a dream of becoming a journalist. I was the editor at my high school’s newspaper and then started freelancing for a number of different publications. I also attended journalism school at Sciences Po, Paris.
When I moved to Brussels, I pivoted freelancing into social media and content marketing. Since entering into the world of marketing, I have been able to work with clients like Jamesons Whiskey, Dragone, Nespresso, Neil Patel, Exposure Ninja, Bridgestone Tires, The European Commission, Visit Brussels, Visit Northern Ireland, and The Hotel.
When I decided to launch my own product-based brand, I pivoted once again into branding. My academic background coupled with my vast experience in content writing and marketing provided me with a strong foundation in establishing myself as a brand strategist.
ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
I hold a doctorate from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, which I completed in 2020. My thesis focused on questions surrounding business development and community-based tourism, specifically looking at Brazil.
MY THESIS TITLE:

A case study was conducted on The Hotel, a luxury hotel located in Brussels, as a way to discuss the importance of the application of digital strategies in building hotel brand identity using a co-creation approach to the process. The chapter also highlights the tools used to communicate the identity and the resulting impacts on the performance of The Hotel.
