As co-founder of boutique production company Show Love, my main tasks were to conceive and execute highly spreadable, cinematic and authentic film content for a range of projects. We worked on major ad campaigns, directly with companies from startups to Fortune 50 corporations, and created award-winning short documentary films. Part of my role was to seed the films online and find an audience. My work has since garnered over one million views, been shown at film festivals, on major websites and several have been Vimeo Staff Picks.

As communications manager, I worked to build online presence, produce content and develop community. Working out of Barcelona-based architecture and construction office Betlinski, I redesigned the way they reach potential clients, making the most out of online resources to display their impressive portfolio. I also worked as chief copywriter, producing and translating marketing material into English, assisting in the overall company marketing strategy and the drive for new clients. During a difficult period in construction in Spain, I helped the company to remain highly productive, bringing in new clients and consolidating their existing reputation across Spain and internationally. Betlinski is a construction, project management and technical architecture management company, which has worked on many high-level projects in Barcelona, across Spain and internationally. Clients include ROCA, Chanel, Nespresso, Brioni, while the company has collaborated with many top architects including Zaha Hadid and Carlos Ferrater.
