Milca Roja® is an iconic raspberry flavored soda founded in Nicaragua in 1959. Milca created the red soda category by being the first red soda in Nicaragua earning the social media accolade #LaRojaOriginal (“the original red”).As President and CEO since 2017, we expanded Milca’s market share and presence by negotiating contracts with the largest distributor in Nicaragua – Compañia Cervecera de Nicaragua. Due to this partnership, Milca was able to re-enter the Nicaraguan market in 2020 after a 22-year hiatus. Today, Milca is available in every supermarket, convenience store, gas station, restaurant and bar in Nicaragua.By tropicalizing the brand's image using vintage and retro elements, we launched a country-wide billboard, radio and influencer campaign for the re-introduction to Nicaragua by connecting to existing customers as well as creating new ones.

Milca Roja® was introduced to the United States in 1988 and is available at major retail and grocery chains such as Walmart, Target, Publix, Winn-Dixie, Sedanos, Northgate and Vallarta markets – mostly in the Southeast and the West Coast. As Director of Sales and Marketing, our team expanded distribution channels in the United States by negotiating contracts with new distributors and vendors. Utilizing both traditional marketing strategies (promos, discounts, trade show activations) as well as digital marketing strategies (social media and influencer campaigns, photo shoots with several Miss Nicaraguas and Nicaraguan photographers) Milca was able to increase sales by entering new markets and increase its consumer base.
