Agenda
3. I am journalist and I have a Master's degree focused in
Languages and Social Media.
I am a digital marketing specialist, and I have been managing
and executing projects for more than 10 years. I love helping
companies achieve global presence. I've worked as a B2B and
B2C executive in marketing, international operations and
globalization.
I already ran projects in Australia, United Arab Emirates,
Singapore, Brazil, etc. Now I live in Canada.
Also, I ran my own marketing consultancy agency and worked
as a University Professor and lecturer.
My speciality is bridging geography gaps at businesses, workers
and projects.
I enjoy creating the solutions that help people unite across
functions and locations.

9. THE DAY THAT I GOT MY FIRST
FORMAL JOB IN AUSTRALIA AS
A DIGITAL MARKETER
14. - INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION AND
THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
- Marketing campaigns for Ramadan
- SEO for different languages
- Formal Dress Code during Summer in Dubai
- Dubai x Melbourne:
- Casual conversations: talking about family x talking about weekends
- keeping controversies apart
- Australians can use humour to diffuse conflict and terseness and in
business meetings. If you are prepared for this, you are less likely to be
offended
- Even at the first meeting, Australians often prefer to use first names rather
than titles.
- Business Cards in Dubai: it's nice have one side of your business card
translated in Arabia as a gesture of politeness.

THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
