Teodora Migdalovici
This March, Sri Lanka’s business and creative community is set to experience an intensive two weeks of learning and exchange as The Faculty of Brands launches Elevate Sri Lanka, a curated program of high-impact workshop sessions and forward-thinking conversations. At the centre of this initiative is a special guest: Teodora Migdalovici, international brand strategist and founder of The Alternative School’s Creative MBA.
An award-winning brand consultant, educational practitioner, lobbyist, and private diplomat, Teodora Migdalovici has played a pivotal role in positioning Romania within the world’s most demanding creative ecosystems, including its first awarded presence at Cannes Lions. With more than two decades of international exposure, her work consistently translates creative excellence into applied brand and business strategy.
She is the founder of The Alternative School, the pioneering force behind the Creative MBA concept, launched in the global market since 2015 and one of Eastern Europe’s most respected fast-paced programs for professionals in branding, marketing, communication, and design who seek to expand their strategic capacity and perform at international level. Alumni of the program, alongside her private clients, have gone on to win Gold, Silver, and Bronze Lions at Cannes and Effie, among other relevant international competitions.
Since 2005, Theodora has worked closely with creative and marketing ecosystems worldwide, advising leaders and teams on brand building, meaningful effectiveness, and strategic positioning through creativity. She has delivered executive workshops and keynote sessions for teams or organisations such as Asahi Beer (Ursus), Coca-Cola, Google, PandG Europe, Unilever, and Vodafone, and has spoken at major industry gatherings ranging from Eurobest and Central Asia’s Jolbors to the Customer Experience Forum in Paris and Creativity and Business events in Cascais, London, Mumbai, Mauritius, and Vienna. In March, she will bring this global perspective to Sri Lanka through a curated series of workshops and learning sessions in collaboration with The Faculty of Brands.
The Faculty of Brands is dedicated to uplifting Sri Lankan brand creativity and effectiveness through accessible, actionable education. Its mission is to level the playing field so Sri Lankan brand leaders, creatives, and business owners can compete confidently against global standards. By connecting local talent with international perspectives from renowned speakers and the expertise of a strong faculty of Sri Lankan industry leaders through carefully curated learning experiences, TFOB provides practical perspectives and insights that teams can apply immediately. This approach helps build stronger, more sustainable brands while raising the overall competence of the brand building ecosystem.
The Faculty of Brands CEO Gayendra Rajapaksha said: “Elevate Sri Lanka” is set to attract strong interest from brand leaders and agency custodians seeking practical global perspectives that can be applied to local market realities. A limited number of brand, marketing, and creative effectiveness workshops will be available during the March visit.”
