Katerina Spetsiou and UpGreek Tourism


Katerina Spetsiou, Campion alumna 1999, just finished a fundraising campaign for UpGreek Tourism in the UK. Kate, a practising architect who lives in London, aimed to raise 12,000 pounds to erect a billboard on Piccadilly Circus in February to boost Greek tourism this summer.

Kate and her two team members, Anita Demetriou (Campion alumna 1999) and Katerina Ioannou, were working with a campaign concept that originated last year in the US which received worldwide coverage on CNN.  To read an article in lifo.gr related to the campaign, click on the link below.
