About Martha

I’m a Sr. Conceptual Creative and sometimes Leading Actress when presenting my work. Agencies/brands hire me to solve a problem with a simple idea. It's never that simple.

My story in bullet points:

  • Colombian who doesn’t drink coffee.

  • Ex DDB, BBDO, JWT and other lovely acronyms.

  • I worked remotely (before it was a thing) for an ad agency in Miami and an AI startup in Washington.

  • I was part of Creative Comeback, upskilled my game and started freelancing for various agencies in London - [Anomaly, VaynerMedia, MBAStack, Oliver, VML, DDB Remedy].

  • I’m inquisitive, completed a Master’s in Digital Marketing and failed at surfing lessons.

  • My blog: '6 Hours Ahead' can give you an idea of what crosses my mind.
