About me
My Mokate
During my studies I founded the “Sylwia” Advertising Agency and implemented a pioneer advertising campaign for Mokate’s flagship product, cappuccino, with the slogan: “Mokate Cappuccino – a star among coffees.” I have also brought LOYD and Minutka to the forefront of tea brands in Poland and the neighbouring countries.
Thanks to my initiative, the Loyd brand has gained prestigious membership in “The London Tea History Association.”
As a consistent initiator of product innovations, I have won a significant number of distinctions, awards and honorary titles for the Mokate Group (Promotional Emblem “Teraz Polska” (“Poland Now”), “Superbrands,” President’s Economic Award, Consumer Laurel, Product of the Year, Hit FMCG Product, Golden Receipt and many others).
In the world of science
Apart from the world of marketing and scientific research, I am an enthusiast of travel, photography (numerous National Geographic workshops), good literature and design.
Key information from the blog
Extraordinary tea – a beverage that created an entire culture
Although it originated in China, it was the Japanese who elevated tea to the status of an art form. Thanks to them, tea influenced architecture, gardening, crafts and aesthetics, becoming much more than just a drink. Tea pavilions were built and famous Japanese gardens were designed by masters of the tea ceremony. Even today, it is difficult to imagine Japanese ceramics, textiles, lacquerware and paintings without the subtle influence of this tradition.
Is strong tea simply tea that has been brewed for longer?
Many people think that ‘strong tea’ simply means tea that has been brewed for a long time. But is this really the case?
Tea bags – from luxury to everyday use
Although they are now commonplace, tea bags only appeared on the market in 1908. They were invented by New York importer Thomas Sullivan who wanted to promote his teas in an original way. Instead of using traditional tins, he sent samples to customers in small silk bags. This idea caught on, but silk was quickly replaced by cheaper materials on a larger scale: first gauze, then paper, and finally artificial silk.
