Projects

2022

The Spanish Machine Tool Biennial (BIEMH) is the most important industrial fair in Spain. The event is held every two years.

It is aimed at the main manufacturers, importers, and distributors (national and foreign machinery), so that they exhibit their products at the venue and show them and reach commercial agreements with the more than 35,000 buyers from the main industrialized countries of the world who visit this event in each edition.

We participated with our two companies (Lautecnic and IRM Solutions) in a 49m2 stand.

As a unique member of the marketing team, I was responsible to do all the strategy, promotion (content and design), sales material, manage providers and do the results report.

2020

COVID-19 came unexpectedly and we had to stop our presential courses and events, so we started innovating with webinars. We took advantage of that opportunity to connect with experienced doctors approaching interesting topics for our current clients and our potential clients.

We contacted José Rodríguez and we made 4 sessions about different types of surgeries.

Access to the webinar was given when the customer purchased Bayer products.

ConSentido Perruno is a Bayer's veterinarian blog where they create engagement with their audience (also promoting the products they sell for pet care).

They promote the importance of adopting pets, so they did a campaign about adopted pets being "the influencer of the month", and they showed their stories (how they were before the rescue and now).

All my pets are adopted, I have been volunteering all my life in Animal Rescue Associations helping with donations, adoptions, and events and sometimes I was weak with some of the pets we rescued and I took them home with me.

They saw "Lucas" and his amazing recovery and they asked me if I was interested in taking pictures and videos with the products of their brand. We participated and this was the result:

La Central is a temporary bazaar where local artisans and little commerces can exhibit their products without having a physical store.

As almendra Mx was pretty new and the sales were made just by Instagram, I decided it was a good idea to participate in this kind of event. In 2015 people were not that used to buying clothes online, so that was a good way to create confidence with our clients as they can see the products and the quality by themselves.
