Welcome to Marketing Recipes 🍴
A newsletter dedicated to all things marketing, creativity, culture & tech — with a sprinkle of self-reflection and sarcasm.
Here’s what to expect:
• Cultural trends through a marketing lens
• Creative strategy, social media & brand thinking
• Tech & AI musings for the modern marketer
• Honest chats about burnout, female empowerment & finding your spark again
• A few deep dives, a few lols, and a whole lot of heart
Here’s what I’ve learned: good marketing is part science, part storytelling, and mostly figuring it out as you go.
Each post is like a recipe: some inspiration, some method, a handful of mess, and ideally… something you can actually use.
Who’s it for?
Marketers, founders, side-hustlers, creatives, and the quietly ambitious. Especially those who’ve been told they’re “too sensitive for business” or “too strategic for creative.” You’re my people.
When?
Currently writing when inspiration strikes (and the dog’s asleep).
Eventually? Likely weekly-ish. Subscribe and see where this goes.
Who’s behind it?
Hey, I’m Venice 👋🏼
I’m a London-based marketer with Greek and Armenian roots, a background in global brands, and a brain that never quite switches off.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked both agency-side and in-house, helping scale more product categories than I care to count — supplements, skincare, pet nutrition, baby food, drinks… the works.
My sweet spot? Creative campaigns, clever partnerships that embed brands into culture, and using tech to drive real transformation.
By day, I shape content and brand strategies, build content ops, and steer digital transformation projects. By night (and early mornings, if we’re being honest), I’m writing, reflecting, and experimenting with building something of my own.
Marketing Recipes is where I mix all of that together — curiosity, cultural observations, and the occasional existential spiral — to share the stuff that often gets left out of the slide decks.
I believe in creativity with structure, strategy with soul, and saying what we actually mean (not just what the stakeholder wants to hear).
Currently figuring it out as I go — with a cup of coffee in hand and my dog Bruno usually snoring in the background.
Say hi 👋🏼
