Oana Silviana Blanda

One major television project was Fairytale Traveller, a weekly 50-minute show I conceptualised and produced with colleagues from Nelstill Video Production for National Tourism Television in Romania. We partnered with travel agencies around the world to deliver exciting travel projects and promote unique, memorable destinations both within Romania and abroad. To produce the year-long series, I travelled extensively, organised locations, reviewed, wrote and edited scripts, managed casting, and secured sponsorships and advertising. When the series came to an end, I launched my personal website, www.fairytaletraveller.com, to continue the project.

For almost five years I provided comprehensive PR services for my local branch of the US-based international NGO, United Hands, which supports orphaned children and families in need. I organised events, promoted the organisation’s work on television and in social media, sourced and engaged with sponsors from the local and national business community, recruited and managed volunteers, and delivered successful fundraising projects. I also have considerable sales and marketing experience.

My enclosed portfolio provides an overview of my work to date and as you will see from my CV, I hold a Master’s degree in Communication and Public Relations from the National School of Political and Administrative Studies in Bucharest as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication and Journalism. I have completed a number of media-related professional development courses, and I am a fluent and confident communicator in spoken and written English and in conversational French.
