About me
I'm problem-solving marketer oriented to digital media with a passion for the way we communicate, brand strategy, planning, analytics/insights, social responsibility, numbers and football. I operate with a one-team mentality and am comfortable mixing strategy with hands-on execution while working cross-functionally to drive results. With a background in Fast-Moving Consumer Goods, Digital Marketing and Politics. I'd be delighted to discuss how I would be an asset for your team.
Projects
  • #YoEstoyDispuesto
    #YoEstoyDispuestoWorking at VotoJoven always challenged us to find a new way to motivate the Venezuelans to participate in an electoral process, this time we developed #YoEstoyDispuesto, a 360 campaign that went viral, being TT on Twitter for 3 days straight and it even had a parody created on the main comedy program of the country. Allowing us to take the campaign offline creating murals of photos of people using the Hashtag.
  • Parra Drums
    Parra DrumsWorking with Pampero was all about setting trends and being edgy, on this constant quest I was presented to the luthier Ricardo Parra who wanted to create a drum out of a rum cask, I worked on designing the project, partnership and PR plan that would enable the brand to reach niche communities that were of interest for us.
  • Landmark Billboard
    Landmark BillboardAs an ABM for DIAGEO, I was tasked to develop an impactful Out of Home that could become Iconic. Taking Cacique's drive for innovation, I worked with my agencies to build a landmark site for the brand in one of the most transitted highways.

    Attended to Universidad Simón Bolivar from September 2010 to April 2014 where I started my studies in the field of electronic engineering, before realizing that my abilities were better suited for Production Engineering and that summed to national circumstances (Such as professors and workers strikes) forced me to transfer from a public university to a private one (Universidad Metropolitana).
