To start, can you give us a brief summary of your professional career?
I started young in the world of Digital Marketing, doing an extracurricular internship at a crowdfunding company in my last year of the Marketing and Market Research degree. In this company I carried out tasks oriented to PPC, social media management and web analytics. After finishing the internship, I was lucky enough to find Línea Gráfica at the end of 2018. First, I spent 3 months doing an internship at this company, and then I joined the team as one more. During this time I have had the opportunity to take on different roles, which have given me a broad vision of Digital Marketing. Until I ended up specializing in the field of Marketing Automation , assuming the responsibility of implementing and optimizing marketing automation strategies for our clients .
