This is Mint & Berries

I started this consultancy because I kept seeing the same problem play out across industries: brilliant science, groundbreaking innovation, organizations doing genuinely important work — and nobody outside their walls knew about it.

Mint & Berries exists to fix that. I work with life science, medtech, and energy organizations to turn complex innovation into communications that actually land — with the media, the stakeholders, and the audiences that matter most.

About Me

I’m Claudia — founder of Mint & Berries, PR strategist, and trained journalist.

I spent more than a decade inside some of the world’s most demanding communications environments before launching this consultancy. That in-house experience is the foundation of everything I do here. I know what it looks like when communications strategy works, and I know exactly what it looks like when it doesn’t.

I hold a Master’s in Global Journalism and a second Master’s in Business Development. I work in English, Swedish, and Romanian. And I bring a journalist’s instinct to every brief — which means I’m always asking the question your audience is actually asking, not the one your internal team wants to answer.

WHY I STARTED MINT & BERRIES

There’s a pattern I kept noticing across industries — and it bothered me enough to do something about it: campaigns that look spectacular on paper often fail to connect or convert as promised. Big agencies are brilliant at making things look good — but substance can be overshadowed by the sparkle, and the cost can be disproportionately high for the results delivered. Great communication doesn’t need a huge budget or a big agency name. Often, a simpler, focused approach resonates louder.

My background spans both sides of the media equation: corporate communications strategy and trained journalism. I know what communications managers are trying to protect and what journalists are actually looking for. That double perspective shapes everything I do — from how I frame a pitch to how I counsel a spokesperson before a difficult interview.

Mint & Berries exists for organizations that want communication that doesn’t just look good. Communication that is good.

MY APPROACH

strategy first

Every engagement begins by clarifying what you’re actually trying to achieve and who you’re speaking to. A sharp strategy saves time, money, and the kind of course-corrections that happen when you skip this step.

tailored packages

Whether you need a focused project or ongoing strategic support, the work is shaped around your priorities — not a package pulled from a shelf.

Hands-on, always

When you work with Mint & Berries, you work with me. Senior expertise at every stage, not delegated to a junior team once the contract is signed.

Measured impact

KPIs are set, results are tracked, and strategy is refined accordingly. The goal isn’t impressive-looking activity. It’s meaningful impact.
