Sabine Jankovic steps out
“No one has ever pushed me anywhere,” Sabīne Jankoviča said, reflecting on her path from reality television contestant to content creator and magazine cover star.
The Latvian media personality and blogger built her career independently following a difficult divorce three years ago, she told Santa. Jankoviča currently works as a social media content creator for the reality strategy game Level, producing behind-the-scenes video material and conducting interviews during the show’s 35-day filming schedule.
Before stepping behind the camera, Jankoviča gained public recognition through her travel blog Places to be and her appearance as a contestant on the TV show Date with brother. During the production of Date with brother, the film crew handed her a small camera to capture behind-the-scenes moments for TikTok, which ultimately led to her current role in digital content production.
Her rising profile also led to a feature appearance on the cover of the men’s magazine CLUB earlier this year. Initially, she turned down the offer due to hesitation regarding a nude photoshoot, but she later accepted after seeing a peer’s work.
Building a media career
Producing content for Level required mastering new skills under the guidance of producer Aija Strazdiņa-Ratinska. Jankoviča noted that editing video stories to meet the standards of an experienced producer involved a steep learning curve and long hours in front of a computer.
“The new thing that was a little confusing was interviewing strangers,” Jankovic said. Santa regarding the challenges of her role. Interviewing strangers for television was a shift from her previous blogging work, and she had to adapt quickly while living away from home during the 35-day shoot.
Working on the production also allowed her to meet long-time television personalities. She expressed surprise at encountering show veterans such as Chupes and GarJānis, whom she remembered watching when she was 12 years old.
Magazine cover reception
The publication of her photo on the cover of CLUB brought widespread attention and positive feedback from both men and women.
“I think men are afraid of strong women,” Jankovic said. Santa when discussing the public response and her current relationship status. She added that she encourages other women to consider similar artistic projects.
