Why we work this way

Fewer brands, better work.

We choose who we onboard as permanent clients and keep that list small on purpose. It is how we keep our promise on quality: time to understand each story, real attention on every piece and results we can stand behind.

Curious, or after a single project? We always keep a place for you.

Who I am

Karen Sarnatskaya

Ex-Google. CMO at FiFixU. Founder of Sarnatskaya Studio.

Karen Sarnatskaya

I'm Karen, 22, founder of Sarnatskaya Studio.

My path started far from marketing. I trained at the ballet conservatory, becoming a professional dancer across Spain and Russia, while studying fine arts alongside it. From there, I spent three years at Google, growing into a Product Specialist role. I started as an Account Strategist with a portfolio of over 400 high-budget accounts, before founding my own agency and stepping in as CMO at FiFixU.

That mix is exactly why I don't approach brands like everyone else does. This studio runs on a simple obsession: ideas that don't stop coming. Restless, relentless, always three ideas ahead of the last one. Proof that youth isn't a limitation, it's an edge.

Today I work with 40+ brands across Spain, LATAM, the UK and the US, combining performance marketing, creative direction, and a genuinely different point of view to build something that stands out.

Where we work

Based in Barcelona, with 40+ brands across Spain, LATAM, the UK, the US, Italy, Switzerland and Portugal.

  • NowFiFixUChief Marketing Officer. Brand, growth and creative direction for a product used daily.

Alatyr Society

Every voice. Every room.

Alatyr Society is a community for women who want to be heard, in any room and in any field, especially the ones where they are still the only woman at the table. It is open to everyone who wants to listen, learn and lift others up.

Alatyr is the name of a legendary white stone, a symbol of strength at the centre of the world. Carry your Sila. Sila means strength.

The research

Unheard Rooms

Before opening the doors, we are listening. Unheard Rooms is a short, anonymous survey about what it is like to be a woman in rooms where she is the only one. It takes about 10 minutes. The results will be published, always anonymously, and they will shape what Alatyr Society becomes.

A research by Karen Sarnatskaya.
What is coming
  • Conversations with women from every field, as interviews and a video podcast
  • Research and stories published on Substack
  • A place to practise speaking up, with others who are doing the same
