Vicky explains that she \u201cstumbled upon digital marketing by chance.\u201d With a background in economics and management, she completed a course in art marketing and decided to focus her thesis on the impact digitalization was having on event marketing. Little by little, her interest grew toward digital marketing, leading her to an internship and then the decision to pursue a master\u2019s at IE University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ainoa, on the other hand, majored in journalism. \u201cBut then I found out I was good at marketing as well,\u201d she says, \u201cSo I double-majored.\u201d She knew she wanted to study a master\u2019s degree outside of her home country, Venezuela, and she was looking for the opportunity to take classes from industry leaders at a well-known institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">IE University was an easy choice for her, especially as she has family and friends in Spain and friends who studied other programs at the school.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path2.jpg\" alt=\"Classmates, co-workers and friends: how the Master in Digital Marketing &amp; Analytics put two graduates on a successful career path\" class=\"wp-image-30809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path2-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020 she was given the opportunity to study 100% online, but she changed her intake to 2021 so she could study in-person and immerse herself fully in the IE University experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Opportunities within reach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After making the decision to delay her intake, Ainoa started working. She found a role working for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graphitehq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graphite<\/a>, which at the time was a boutique SEO marketing agency based in San Francisco. She was one of 15 employees at the now almost 200-employee agency. The Master in Digital Marketing is a full-time program, so when she began studying, Ainoa told her boss that she needed to put her content strategy role on hold. But her boss had another idea, she explains: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>At the time, I was doing content strategy for a lot of clients, so we figured out that if we reduced that scope, I could probably work and study at the same time\u2014which is what actually happened.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it proved to be difficult, Ainoa was able to balance her studies, personal life and professional life throughout the 10 months. She even encouraged her CEO, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ethanls?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAABgypABn5b_iBnK8X5h7NAcDiQMTYinL5I&amp;lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_all%3BHTD6%2B6LHSQO3bf7%2F2zOQ8A%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethan Smith<\/a>, to travel to Madrid to give a seminar on SEO. This led to new employee leads and opportunities, and several people from her program joined the company, including Vicky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the top of her class, Vicky got hired as a full-time content lead. Although she originally applied for a growth lead intern position, she was offered a role on the content team, which she\u2019s thrilled about: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I&#8217;m super into content creation, but I&#8217;m also very much into data analytics and any kind of analytical activity. So, this is actually the perfect role for me because it&#8217;s a great combination of the two.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Vicky has since received a promotion and now works hand-in-hand with her team in ideation development and the monitoring of content strategies. She also has the opportunity to specifically tailor content initiatives for her clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We help our clients figure out and uncover topical opportunities and help them streamline the process of producing that new content. We also conduct performance analysis and identify key opportunities for improvement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A program with results<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing the Master in Digital Marketing, Ainoa was promoted to director of editorial. She currently works on internal processes and workflows, ensuring that the team is happy and is delivering the best work. Ainoa says that the program gave her a truly holistic view of digital marketing, allowing her to open her eyes to a much broader view of the services she can provide to clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path1.jpg\" alt=\"Classmates, co-workers and friends: how the Master in Digital Marketing &amp; Analytics put two graduates on a successful career path\" class=\"wp-image-30808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Classmates-co-workers-and-friends-how-the-Master-in-Digital-Marketing-and-Analytics-put-two-graduates-on-a-successful-career-path1-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"could-the-master-in-management-be-exactly-what-you-re-looking-for-too-let-s-dig-deeper-to-discover-if-this-program-is-right-for-your-career-goals\">\u201cThe program offers something for everyone.
