During the beginning of the COVID-10 pandemic all marketing campaigns in the aviation and travel industry were cancelled. In June I started with StyleYourFace.nl. A webshop selling reusable cotton face masks in 25 different prints, all child labor free. End of 2020 I added COVID-19 self tests. I learned a lot during this period and was confronted with the power of the big tech companies like Facebook and Google blocking my adds every now and then for unknown reasons. Nevertheless, I fought back and survived. Great experience.
