Elena Rey Costumero

I was born in the late 70’s when nobody had a computer at home. In the 80’s we found very funny Maxwell Smart and his shoe phone because we couldn’t even imagine that in less than 30 years we will have, not a telephone, but a computer in our pockets.

I never had a clear vocation, excepting when I was 6 and I vehemently assured that I will be a nurse, and I finally studied English Philology. During my years as a student in the University of Salamanca the most important lesson I learned was that studying, reading the classics and getting knowledge can be very funny if you put passion into it.

My lack of vocation turned into a godsend because I learnt languages and they gave me the opportunity of entering a labour market with many degrees speaking no other language than Spanish. This way I was a receptionist, an executive assistant and finally Link Strategy Specialist.

When I became part of Internet Advantage in March of 2010 I discovered that if you don’t mind taking risks, you are not afraid of changes and you allow people to show you those things you don’t know and then you put your personal point of view, then you and the marketing online are quite alike. This way I could easily adapt myself to this world so different to mine.
