María de Lourdes Echevarría

Account Director
Mexico City,CMX

Summary

I'm a proactive, goal-oriented, experienced and accomplished Strategic Account Director in the field of digital and non digital communications. My objective is to generate additional revenue for my clients, not simply to improve vanity metrics.
I love what I do, and have brought to life successful campaigns for well-known, high-consumption brands such as Coca-Cola LATAM, Netflix, Nike, Google, Amazon, Facebook & Instagram, Uber, Unilever, Kellogg's among others.
I have managed all stages of operations, from market research and content development, all the way to plan optimization. In the process, I have had responsibility for overseeing marketing departments, strategic development and several major projects.
I attribute my success to my creative side. I’m a photographer. It may be my hobby, but it can be much more than that: it nourishes my curiosity and attention to aesthetic detail, and leads to my deep appreciation for the diversity of culture and life.
