Aleka Papadia

One of the most prominent figures in the Greek advertising scene, Aleka has been delivering some of the country’s most-talked about work for both local and international brands. In a career that spans 24 years, she has won over 170 awards for creativity and effectiveness, for clients such as Vodafone, Wind Telecommunications, Hellas On Line, Volkswagen, SEAT, Unilever, Nestle, AXA, ERGO, IKEA, Media Markt, National Bank of Greece, National Lottery Organization, to name a few.

She’s a native McCanner, having started with McCann at a very young age. Following an extensive tour de force of Greece’s ad agency scene—plus five years of successful freelancing—Aleka is currently the ECD of “alma mater” McCann Worldgroup Greece. Aleka has a knack for understanding the big picture, loves storytelling in every form and is constantly pushing the boundaries of every medium to tell culturally relevant and engaging stories. 

When she’s not problem-solving or thinking of ideas that challenge what can be done, she enjoys immersing herself in a play or travelling.
