A new shooting star in the Laika universe

Hi space traveler - nice to e-meet you! Please don't mind the gun in the picture - I come in peace! My name is Sophie, and I am the newest crew member at the Laika spaceship. I joined the team at the beginning of May and since then had quite a trip. Before Laika, I worked in project management and sales. I then switched to the space dogs because of their tech focus and the great crew I met in the interview process. It’s with them that I want to explore the world of comms for the foreseeable future.

And just so that you get to know me a little better and don't quite perceive me as such an alien, here are a few useful facts about me: 

I studied communications management and quickly knew that this was the field I wanted to work in. Because of my love for organization and structure, I dedicated myself to project management at first. I quickly fell in love with it per se, but was looking for a more daring place to do what I do best. A place where my ideas would have some influence and where I can drive change. Well, hello Laika! 

I quickly realized that Laika suits me not only in character, but also in terms of clients I would be working with: Acast, Bookwire and Twitch for example. They perfectly reflected my personal interest in entertainment topics and I can finally officially call the hours I spent on Twitch “research”. 

My start at Laika was mostly remote, thank you Covid for that... But nevertheless,I was able to sometimes change my glued on sweatpants against some spacesuit for the occasional mothership visit.  So if you happen to visit the space dogs soon, you better watch out! Because I cannot only hit clients targets, but also the bull's eye with my new Fortnite gun.
