An invaluable experience as a one-person digital marketing team 🦑

Together with a wonderful international content team, I managed and executed the social media strategy for over 20 wine brands, including renowned names like Vinexpo Paris, California Wines Institute, Diageo, D.O. Cava, Protos, and many more.

I was responsible for all digital marketing activities:

↳ Paid Ads on Meta, LinkedIn, Google Ads for brand awareness and lead generation/sales
↳ Email marketing automation and Messenger marketing
↳ Web analytics and reporting
↳ Creation of landing pages

Having worked in large companies and agencies, where each specialist is narrowly specialised in their channel, working at FirstPour allowed me to expand my expertise and gain experience as a web analyst, email marketer, SEM, and Paid Social specialist, as well as a website creator.

About the Project: FirstPour is a social media marketing agency uniquely positioned to understand the inner workings of the wine market.

Professionally, I'm focused on:
