Sophia Hrywnak

Account Executive.

The main focus of Sophia's role is assisting the PepsiCo International account manager, working across a variety of wonderful brands such as Copella, Scott's Porage, Snack-a-Jacks and Tropicana Kids.

I’m new to Standout and am really excited to be working within such a passionate and collaborative team that delivers outstanding results for great clients! I love the fast paced nature of my role at Standout and the variety it offers such as pulling together proposals and documents, managing day to day projects to completion and briefing and liasing with our creative and digital team to help produce excellent work for our clients and their brands.

Tell us something about you we’d never normally know.
I might not be your average avid ‘Take a Break’ magazine reader, but over the last year I have become slightly addicted to entering free competitions! Maybe it’s due to the ‘credit crunch’ times or that I love to keep up with the latest brand activity, but I’ve won some great items thus far such as a designer handbag and festival and Beyonce tickets! So if you would like any tips, I kindly accept payment in the form of a cup of tea!

What is your favourite time of year, and why?
It has to be the summer (even if we do have to put up with the British weather!). Lighter evenings. The hope for sunshine and the excitement when it arrives. Picnics. Road trips. Feeling carefree. Festivals. Holidays. BBQs….I can’t wait!

If you could visit any country or place, where would it be, and why?
“New York, New York.” I’m planning a trip there this autumn with my University friends and can’t wait! As well as fitting in all of the iconic sites and typical ‘Sex in the City’ style activities, I would love to visit Ellis Island and trace the steps of my Ukrainian great-grandfather who made his journey to America 100 years ago.
