About Me

Hey there, I'm Luca Jakab – a strategic branding and marketing consultant with 12+ years of hands-on experience. I specialise in purpose branding and ethical marketing. I advocate for inclusive and sustainable marketing practices and offer support to creatives, NGOs, and purpose-driven businesses through online consultation, workshops, and marketing management. Recent highlights:

→ Supporting the Social Tech Trust, an organisation revolutionizing impact investment in the UK with branding and B2B marketing. (2023)

→ Developed an Impact Communications course with Scale Impact to help Hungarian SMEs build impact brands. (2023)

→ I am a UK ambassador and accredited partner of Access4you, a certification scheme for building accessibility. (2023)

→ Worked with Given, the UK's leading purpose consultancy, on their B2B strategy. Helped them win 4 Corpcomms Awards and launch a podcast that reached no. 6 in the Business Management category on Apple Podcasts. (2022-2023)

→ Running both online and offline workshops, I assist NGOs in building brand awareness and effective fundraising strategies and help SMEs understand ethical, sustainable, and inclusive marketing principles. (2021-present)

→ Produced a CSR communication campaign for Drogerie Markt and Blue Line Children's Crisis Foundation. The campaign resulted in a 20 million HUF donation and reached 5.4 million young people through social media over 8 months. (2021)

→ Collaborated with UNICEF, Generali, and Blue Line on a joint campaign addressing COVID-19. The campaign was nominated for the Hungarian Civil Award for Best Communication Campaign. (2020)

I have also worked in the creative industries both in the UK and Hungary for several years. My focus has been on helping talented artists sell their work online as an artist manager, promoter, and creative entrepreneur. Some highlights:

→ I founded ArtConscious, which was an award-nominated online marketplace for Central and Eastern European artists, designers, fashion designers, galleries and art fairs. My team collaborated with over 150 international partners and utilized AI to enhance marketplace performance after securing early-stage and later seed funding from 2016 to 2020. I was featured in several top lists as a female founder and CEO, including Guild's '10 Hungarian Startups with Female Founders to Watch in 2020' and Vestbee's 'Top 25 Women From VC and Startup Ecosystem In Hungary'.

→ I established AS Contemporary, an online gallery for UK-based artists. It had a charity donation feature, and The Resident London magazine praised the gallery for its potential to revolutionise the UK art market. (2014-2016)

Since 2021, I've actively shared my expertise through mentorship programs, playing the role of a brand strategist – passing on the torch of knowledge:

→ 2022: Brand Strategy for Social Entrepreneurs, Social Entrepreneurship Incubation Program
→ 2021-2022: Personal Branding for UK-based Entrepreneurs, Talent Kapital
→ 2021: LinkedIn Strategy for Young Professionals, Work For Impact
