MIKAYLA MENESES

ABOUT ME

I'm a Global Communications & Media Strategist with over 8 years of experience designing impactful outreach campaigns and driving engagement across the US and Europe. From leading high-stakes press and media efforts—including for the Siemens eMobility acquisition of Heliox e-charging specialist, to executing brand-elevating events in cities like London, Oslo, and Paris and more, I bring a deep understanding of cross-cultural communication and global brand positioning.

​

Originally from Southern California, I've always been guided by a deep curiosity about the world and, more importantly, the people in it. My passion for human connection has led me to solo travel through over 27 countries, study and work across borders, and collaborate with everyone from European municipalities to tech industry leaders. Whether I'm working on a public transport campaign in Germany or launching a social media series in California, I focus on authentic storytelling that resonates.

​

A proud alumna of California State University San Marcos (BA, Mass Media) and the University of Amsterdam (MA, Cross-Media Culture & Television)—home to the world’s #1 Communication & Media Studies program (QS Rankings)—I combine academic insight with real-world savvy. My work includes award-winning digital campaigns, B2B tech growth strategies (like scaling a LinkedIn page to +10,000 followers in a year), and dynamic event production.

​

Now based in Amsterdam, I merge strategic thinking, creative execution, and a global mindset to create meaningful impact, both online and off!
