About Ximena

Hi, I'm Xime 👋

Brand and communication strategist. I like to organize chaos: thinking about strategy, managing projects, and helping brands grow with focus, criteria, and good ideas.

With over 10 years of experience in the communication world, I have worked with international brands, entrepreneurs, and teams that need someone to help them bring ideas to life, organize processes, and coordinate communication, marketing, and brand experience projects. My role is based on project, team, and client management, combining strategic consulting, coordination, and daily support.

I come from the world of agencies, institutional communication, and freelance work, leading branding, digital marketing, and event projects, and coordinating multidisciplinary teams and suppliers.

I get involved in a close, practical, and organized way. I believe in human work and relationships, in values, and in building through dialogue. I don't believe in ready-made solutions, but in understanding each project, its context, and its objectives to develop strategies that truly work.

If you're looking for someone who thinks, organizes, and executes with strategy, creativity, and a little touch of madness (why not?), we'll probably make a good team 😉
