Stefanija Jokštytė is a creative professional, advertising copywriter and screenwriter, communications strategist, and art project curator.

She develops brand positioning, communications strategies, and advertising campaigns for cultural organisations, collaborating with opera soloists, theatres, galleries, festivals, and independent artists. At the heart of her creative practice is a powerful idea expressed in just the right words - bringing out the distinctive character of an art project, sparking interest, and engaging audiences.
