Are you looking to make your travel brand stand out and attract more customers? As an accomplished international marketing and sales professional with extensive travel experience, I can offer a unique value proposition to help boost your business.

Here are the key benefits of collaborating with me as your UGC creator:

International Content Creator: With nearly 3 decades of international marketing and sales expertise, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a global perspective to the world of travel content creation. With my background in the tourism industry, my Bachelor’s degree in International Business and having worked within and traveled to many countries across the Americas, Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe and the Middle East, I understand the diverse cultures and captivating destinations that make our world so extraordinary. Additionally, my proficiency in English and intermediate fluency in European Portuguese and Spanish allow me to effectively connect with diverse audiences. With dual citizenship and Portuguese roots tracing back to Terceira, Acores, I had the privilege of growing up in the New England area in the US, where I experienced a fascinating fusion of American lifestyle and cherished Portuguese traditions within the local Portuguese community.

Visual Storyteller: Showcasing real travel experiences, your brand gains credibility and authenticity, resonating with potential customers who seek genuine connections. My keen eye for travel photography, I capture breathtaking images that showcase the beauty and uniqueness of your destinations, allowing you to create a visually stunning brand presence across all platforms. In 2017 at the age 41 my explorations led me to Portugal, marking my 41st country on this remarkable adventure of life. It was during this excursion that I curated a captivating exhibition of travel photography entitled “Portugal 41,” a compilation of 41 distinctive images that summarized the essence of this poetic and picturesque nation that gained attention across the Massachusetts area.

Strategic Marketing Consultant: I can provide valuable guidance and advice to enhance your marketing efforts. Throughout my career, I have built strong relationships with tourism boards, hoteliers, and product managers, successfully securing cooperative marketing funds, and implementing innovative promotional strategies. For example, I worked on a marketing plan with a budget of $100K, resulting in approximately $6.7M in sales across four partner brands. Additionally, I initiated and launched new promotional strategies, which generated monthly sales of approximately $400K.

Tech-Savvy Content Creator: To support your content marketing efforts, I am well-versed in utilizing industry-standard tools such as Microsoft Office Suite, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Analytics, Canva, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Wrike, Marketo, Hubspot, Hootsuite, Tableau, Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and iMovie. My proficiency in these platforms enables me to streamline our collaboration and ensure efficient project management.

Real Estate Enthusiast: In the world of travel content creation, experience matters. With my additional background as a licensed real estate agent and extensive sales expertise since 1999, I understand the art of persuasion and. the power of effective communication. I leverage these skills to drive engagement, spark interest, and inspire action. Since 2012, I have also been a professional photographer specializing in residential/commercial real estate, construction, interior and architectural design. My work has been featured in various media outlets, including magazines, newspapers, billboards, marketing collateral, and online platforms. My portfolio can be viewed here.
