WELCOME TO ME.
Start scrolling please...
I know you might be asking yourself what pizza has to do with me looking for a job...
Well...
NOTHING.
I just love pizza.
And because I love it, I enjoy creating content about it. It. It. It.
Ready?
Oh, sorry, how rude of me: My name is Alba and I want to create content for your brand🍕.
OK, LAST ONE.
LET'S GET SERIOUS, PLEASE.
¡HOOOLA!
To the point:
I worked in HR for almost 2 years but wasn't creative enough for me to enjoy it and consider the longer term. By looking to apply some ''creativity'' to HR I discovered I was focusing my time on Marketing and Employer Branding tasks. That's why I was rightly and kindly invited to leave the last company I was working for. I discovered something I loved and it wasn't my job.
Everything I wanted was to create content on Social Media and the website to make people know the company, to talk about its values and people, to think about the communication strategy, to write engaging internal emails and sexy blog posts, to create a brand ambassadors' culture in my department and also in the company through the internal communication platforms...
MY NEW LOVE WAS CONTENT.
THE CV PART HAS ARRIVED, SORRY.
If you survive to it, please, keep scrolling, there is a cool video I created (well, it was edited by a friend of a friend who finally became my friend too) for a Silicon Valley project I wanted to experience. I was a finalist among many many many participants.
(Hmmm... I'll let you my cool video HERE, just in case you can't wait🙄)
EXPERIENCE
I can say that I spent a large part of my short professional life looking for a job and that's exactly what has always motivated me to create content and have fun designing new strategies to introduce myself to brands I like🍕.
