Art buying and photo editing

Anni is an art buyer in both advertising and editorial/publishing.

She worked directly with team of marketing leads, creative and art directors, content producers and production team to generate campaign assets, product spots, sponsorships, blog articles and social spots, and acted as ambassador for each of KAYAK’s portfolio brands’ distinct visual styles, guiding stakeholders to find the best images and videos for their content needs. Anni also ensured internal and external compliance to all licensing and usage restrictions, while leading negotiations of rates and contracts with external suppliers.

Anni worked as an art buyer and shoot producer from for one of Europe's leading publishing houses, Axel Springer SE, and its client magazines: Roland Berger Consultancy's Think-Act Magazine; GDV's Positionen Magazine; Hypovereinsbank's online banking magazine; and Deutsche Bahn's Dein Bahnhof magazine.

Before relocating to Berlin, Anni was the photo editor of the west coast newspaper, the Portland Tribune, where she worked logistics on photo assignments to staff photographers and carefully edited all photographs for the paper's weekly print edition and daily online editions. For the newspaper, Anni also assisted her editorial team in proofing and copy editing the print edition each week.

Producing for advertising, TV and film; location scouting

Anni produced photo shoots for the international advertising agency, Media Consulta, as well as publishing powerhouse, Axel Springer SE – both headquartered in Berlin. Responsibilities included shoot logistics and budget management, research and hiring of photo crew, hiring of makeup stylists and food stylists, locations scouting, selection of models, prop acquisitions and styling, and art direction.

In 2012, Anni produced and conducted interviews for Comcast's television station, "On Demand" in the Portland, Seattle and Spokane metropolitan areas of the USA.
