Today we are speaking to Silvina Navarro, Marketing and Sales Executive at Shaw Marketing Services about her life in Spain and her work with the company.
Hi Silvina, where are you from?
I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. There I trained to be an Interior Designer and worked in the field of art and design. Art and design were always my strengths, but sales was in my blood from my father who was a born salesman!
What brings you to Spain?
I’ve studied English since I was very young and have always been in touch with foreigners to practice my English. This gave me the drive to travel and get to know other cultures. I visited New York first and then came down to the Costa del Sol in 2000 for a holiday. The weather and the tranquillity on the coast has made me stay here ever since and 11 years later I think of the Costa del Sol as my home.
What have you been doing since you came to Spain?
I have worked in Real Estate for a while (like many of us do when we arrive on the Costa del Sol) but I dedicated myself to create an online decoration and interior design company and thanks to this I discovered the importance of marketing and advertising for driving a business forward.
