Sofia Cokis

I'm currently working as a Strategy Analyst for Siegel + Gale. I work on a wide range of clients including Wells Fargo and Mellon Capital in areas strategy and activation. In my spare time you'll find me building voice user interfaces on Alexa and learning about
human-centered design with IDEO.

I’m a strategist who differentiates products and services by creating seamless customer-centric experiences. My unique background in product strategy, digital marketing and branding allows me to solve problems by combining creative thinking with a data-driven approach. I use my skills to shape the interactions people have with products/services/brands, sharpen the impression that is created and improve the businesses bottom line.

I approach strategy with a desire to create and communicate value. All projects start with extensive research so I have the right insights and data to move forward with a successful solution. Looking at problems through a design, product and brand lens allows me to find the white space and form a strategy.

Working as a consultant has taught me to operate with a high level of responsibility and be conversant with change. I’m flexible and can jump from small details to the big picture seamlessly. For example, I’ve explained design choices in the Snappic mobile UI and how the contribute to the overall user experience, and a clients bottom line.

I aspire to work on projects that deliver on their brand promise and add value to an organization, industry or customer.
