Marina Coelho joins jury
for the Grande Prémio de Relojoaria
Fernando Correia de Oliveira, editor-in-chief of the Anuário de Relógios & Canetas invites Sparkling PR’s founder, Marina Coelho to be part of the jury for this year’s edition
of the “Grande Prémio de Relojoaria”
Marina Coelho has been an active member of the international watchmaking industry for more than 14 years. Her professional career started in the Richemont Group in Miami, where she joined the teams of Baume & Mercier and Montblanc, and then ultimately led the Officine Panerai’s Marketing & Communications department for Central & South America.
She later moved back to Portugal where she joined the Marketing team of one of the most important retailers in the industry, Boutique dos Relógios. She then moved to Madrid and Geneva, where she worked as Marketing Manager, International Public Relations Manager and International Media Officer for brands like Jaeger-LeCoultre, de GRISOGONO, Chopard and Frédérique Constant.
Marina made the personal decision to move back to Lisbon in March 2018, to be closer to home and open her own agency, Sparkling PR, designed to internationally promote Portuguese brands through personalized communication services: Strategic Communication, Press & Public Relations, Influencer Marketing, Events & Partnerships Management.
Her international experience in the watchmaking industry will undoubtedly be one of the determining factors that will help her select the candidates for the various categories of the “Grande Prémio de Relojoaria”.
It is a great honor to be considered let alone chosen to integrate such a restricted group of watchmaking connoisseurs. I’d like to thank Fernando Correia de Oliveira for this incredible opportunity!
