04 / PROFILE

Kristina
Tong

I’m interested in how ideas become meaningful—how strategy becomes a campaign, how a story becomes a film, and how communication becomes something audiences actually respond to.

My background spans communication strategy, luxury PR, film production and audience research, with experience across Northwestern University, the University of Michigan and professional work supporting PIAGET at Premiere Consulting Group.
