Selected Case Studies

Wunderman Thompson, 2022

Izipay: Turn Your Phone into a POS

Designer & Animator

Izipay wanted small businesses to start taking card payments straight from their phone. My job was the visual and motion side of the digital campaign, so a payments product felt simple enough to try right away.

The campaign won 2 Golds at IAB MIXX Peru, in Performance and in E-commerce.

Ogilvy, Peru & Colombia

Mike’s Hard Lemonade & Corona Tropical

Content Manager

Keeping beverage brands fresh and on-brand in two countries, week after week. I ran the editorial calendars, set the content direction for each market and coordinated the design and copy teams behind campaigns and Reels for The Coca-Cola Company, Mike’s, Corona Tropical and Kotex.

Yango, LATAM

4 services, one voice

Social Media & Influencer Coordinator

Social and creators for Yango Taxi, TukTuk, XL and Business across Latin America. I planned and optimized the campaigns, wrote the copy and built the influencer program from scratch: picking creators, onboarding them, writing briefs and putting together a UGC library we reused in ads.

Every month I reported KPIs and adjusted the plan, so the four lines grew with one consistent voice.

About me

I’m a Social Media Director and content creator with 9+ years building strategy, content and community for brands across LATAM, the U.S., UK & Europe and the Middle East. I started at agencies like McCann, Ogilvy and Wunderman Thompson, working on The Coca-Cola Company, Mike’s, Corona Tropical, Entel and Izipay, and later Shapes & Forms in Los Angeles and Cliento MX.

Today I lead social strategy and content for international brands, and on the other side of the camera I’ve partnered with brands like ASICS, NIVEA and Powerade as a creator. That mix is my edge. I plan like a strategist and post like a creator.
