"The comfort zone is the perfect justification for not growing, not doing, not risking and ultimately not living." Spark Foundry Spain Account Director Sonia Zazo shares her journey into advertising and much more in her 16 question feature – make sure to check it out.#WeGotSpark #SameSpiritMoreSpark
Y esta semana la valiente que se atreve con las 16 preguntas del #HEATest es.... Sonia Zazo!!! 👏👏👏
¡Espero que disfrutéis de la lectura de sus respuestas!
1️⃣ Nombre: Sonia Zazo
2️⃣ Cargo: Account Director
3️⃣ Bio corta.
¡Hola gente bonita! Soy Sonia Zazo, Zazo, Zazis, Soni, depende del interlocutor! Formo parte de esta profesión desde hace unos cuantos años ya y, curiosamente, sigo disfrutando de lo que hago, como buena 'Disfrutona' 😋 que soy. Por casualidad descubrí este maravilloso mundo publicitario al que me dedico, que cambió mi vida por completo y que me permite retarme de manera habitual, algo que para mí es básico en la vida. La zona de confort supone la justificación perfecta para no crecer, no hacer, no arriesgarse y en definitiva no vivir.
Y para los que me conozcáis menos, eso implica que puedo pasar de una situación de equilibrio total a otra de caos, de estar a dieta a brócoli 🥦y agua o vivir únicamente de “Panteras Rosas”🍥(mi preferido!).
Me apasiona la gente y por eso me gusta estar rodeada de personas que me sumen ➕, que me den energía 🆙, no que me la quiten.. esos.. ¡¡al mar!! 😉
Creo en esa búsqueda constante de energía, ya sea con mis hijos que son mi combustible básico, con las clases de Body Combat 🤼♀️ o con unas estupendas vacaciones en Santander 🌅. Eso me llevó a convertirme en Coach profesional, para ayudar a otros a alcanzar metas que conviertan su vida en algo más extraordinario de lo que es.
Me encantan los idiomas, disfruto viajar, y me hubiera encantado dedicarme a algo que me hubiera permitido conocer mundo 🌏 con una maletita 🧳 como equipaje. De ahí que mi trayectoria profesional se haya centrado en manejar cuentas internacionales que me ha permitido trabajar con el mundo del lujo que me ha enganchado a tope.
Me encanta 🤩 formar parte de este nuevo proyecto llamado SPARK, cuyo corazón, HEAT es energía total!!
4️⃣ ¿Cómo empezaste en este sector?
Licenciada en Derecho 👩🎓 (vocacional, me atraía el Derecho Penal más que nada..), Postgrado Derecho Internacional y Europeo en La Sorbonne 🇫🇷, dedicándome a las micro fusiones mercantiles en un despacho de abogados en el centro de Madrid y la llamada 📱de una amiga hizo virar mi destino hacia el mundo de la comunicación, que prometía ser dinámico, social y nada aburrido. Mi CV 📑📨llegó a las manos de alguien que me ofreció trabajo en la misma entrevista, comenzando en el equipo de planificación de cuentas internacionales de una agencia de medios donde una persona con idiomas era necesaria. Pasé por el ESIC, especializándome en Gestión Comercial y Marketing. ¡Y ahí empezó todo! 🤪
5️⃣ ¿Cuál es tu opinión sobre el negocio?
El mundo publicitario ha vivido una revolución con la digitalización y la tecnología, y las marcas tienen que buscar maneras diferentes de conectar con el consumidor. Nuestro reto es conocer más y mejor a ese consumidor 👧👨🦱👨👩👱♂️👨🦳👴🧔para ser más eficaces y eficientes en cómo conectamos con él. La comunicación personalizada es la clave, sin olvidar lo necesaria que es la escala y el alcance de los medios que utilizamos para ello. Este sector es tremendamente dinámico y nos anima a reinventarnos continuamente.
6️⃣ ¿Cuál crees que será el tema más importante/área de desarrollo en tu negocio?
Un consumidor no es igual a las 8:00 de la mañana que a las 19:00 de la tarde y creo que en este contexto tecnológico en el que vivimos, el futuro será uno en el que todos los medios serán digitales, y eso se traduce en data y en capacidad de personalización.
7️⃣ ¿Tienes perfil en las redes sociales? Sí!!
Si la respuesta es sí, ¿cuál es tu favorita?
Ahora estoy enganchada a IG.. y doy fe de su capacidad para generar engagement de cara al consumo!
8️⃣ ¿Cuál fue el último libro 📚📖 que te leíste?
Vestido de Novia 👰 de Pierre Lemaitre, me lo recomendó una amiga que sabe de mi capacidad de devorar novela negra. ¡Y no me ha decepcionado! 🔝
9️⃣ ¿Apagas alguna vez el teléfono ☎️?
Never ever...
🔟 ¿Qué te hace desconectar de la vorágine diaria?
Mis peques 👶👧, el gym 🧘♀️🏋️♀️, mis libros 📚📖 y mis series 🎬🎥. No puedo pasar un día sin dedicarme una hora en exclusiva a mí por entero! 😁
1️⃣1️⃣ ¿Cuál es el mejor consejo que te han dado jamás?
¡La vida es 1 y no 21!
1️⃣2️⃣ ¿A quién te encantaría conocer personalmente?
A los actores de Friends, ¡todos juntos!
1️⃣3️⃣ Una comida:
Oooohhhhhhh, ¿en serio? ¿una? Nachos con guacamole 🥑, tortilla de patata 🥔, pizza barbacoa 🍕 con extra de queso 🧀🧀, chuches 🍡🍭🍬🍫… ¿es broma?
1️⃣4️⃣ Una canción: Beautiful Day de U2
1️⃣5️⃣ Un viaje pendiente: Me enamoré de África , Tanzania, Namibia, quiero volver con mis hijos de safari 🐘🐆🐅🦏🦛🦒.
1️⃣6️⃣ Un hobby: Disfrutar a tope! Viajar, comer, bailar, la música, los libros…
¡¡¡Gracias Sasu😘 por responder a nuestro #HEATest!!! 👏👏👏
¡Feliz fin de semana a todos!
