Thanks to the opportunity to work at Kiwi Marketeam, I became even more convinced I wanted to study Marketing. Kiwi is a Marketing Firm run by a team of young women from whom I learned a lot, not only in the marketing and business areas but also in how passion and love for what you do impact the results and creativity of each project. At Kiwi, I was a Marketing Associate, and my main tasks were to manage meetings with clients, participate in market research, apply surveys and collect data, plan, and direct photoshoots, and brainstorm for naming and creative meetings.
