For 7 years, I have been working as a Digital Manager for various local and international agencies. I specialize in advertising, campaign boosting, creative branding, and social media management roles. My social media expertise essentially delves into crafting effective social media account updates, supervising e-mail and online communications, and creating effective content. I started my career in digital marketing as a virtual assistant. During that time, I was introduced to a client who sparked my interest in this line of work. Our work partnership paved the way to the development of my skills. I was mentored, I underwent series of trainings, and I was helped to better understand my new-found career. Creativity was an attribute that was unknown to me until I decided to dip my foot in this world of marketing. I started exploring new opportunities by signing up for several online jobs that were related to my new passion. Despite my limited knowledge then, I braved to search for online marketing jobs. Looking back, I even applied as a Web Designer just to gain experience. I was pushed to immediately acquire skills in generating graphics and building content. The sudden surge of responsibilities compelled me to improve myself both in photoshop and in writing! I had to be resourceful. I even read free online materials to improve my writing. Apparently, my self-taught skills convinced me that I am indeed an innovative person. After a few months, I decided to look for additional jobs as a Social Media Manager for different industries. The decision allowed me to learn the ins and the outs of Digital Marketing. I was thankful that my clients were also generous enough to provide me with training materials to help me with my pursuit. As I coursed through the different trainings, I was able to expand more my understanding of this new world. I’m glad that I was firm with my decision to address my ignorance with constant learning. After all these roller coaster efforts that I’ve experienced, I am now thankful that I can finally say that I stand out above the rest. Please checkout my website: www.karenfaustino.com
