Sofia is a Marketing Strategist & Brand Storyteller from Sicily. She tells stories that make people care—about a brand, a place, an idea.
With a background in strategic marketing and a sharp instinct for narrative, Sofia helps businesses find their voice, shape their identity, and connect with the right audience. She specializes in brand positioning, content strategy, and creative copywriting. For her, marketing is about making people feel something, creating impact, and building relevance.
Being Sicilian has shaped how she thinks about identity, storytelling, and the details that bring a brand to life. With deep cultural sensitivity and a sharp eye for trends, she understands what resonates and why. But more than that, she’s drawn to the human side of marketing: the people, the connections, and the stories that make brands more than just names.
Yeelen Tavilla (instagram, email)
Yeelen’s fascination with Sicily goes way back to her childhood, when she spent her summers on her grandfather’s land - affectionately called il giardino - on which he grew his own flowers, plants, and fruit. She remains constantly drawn to Sicily's rich traditions and vibrant atmosphere, a connection that profoundly influences her work. Yeelen strongly believes in the visual and narrative power of the image combined with conscious storytelling. Whether she’s behind the camera, dreaming up creative concepts, or curating the perfect dinner table, she seeks to capture the fleeting, unguarded moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Combining these two, they create content that blends food, imagery, and heritage, offering a vibrant tribute to the rich culture of Sicily.
