Our new featured Synovia Digital member, Gabriel Vendríes, brings a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to his role as Business Expansion and Marketing Coordinator at Synovia Digital’s Barranquilla office. With a drive for professional growth, Gabriel has become an integral part of our team.
Let’s take a look into Gabriel’s world and discover what makes him tick!
What do you enjoy most about your role at Synovia Digital?
“Personally, it’s about new beginnings and evolving. Being independent for so long and having the opportunity to grow as a professional and as a person within a company and feel the teamwork and getting results is wholesome. Being trusted on things and seeing my responsibilities grow because of that trust feels truly great!”
Can you share a recent project or task you’ve worked on that you found particularly rewarding?
“It’s not that recent and it’s still ongoing but it’s the building of an online presence, beginning from the website and the delivering relevant content for our clients and stakeholders (which as of now is handled by Dayana!). But putting the first “brick” and channeling what our CEO Aidan Harrington has envisioned and “getting it” has been incredible. New things are coming which will be translated into the digital world and I’m pretty excited about it too.”
What key skills or strategies do you rely on to stay organized and efficient in your day-to-day tasks?
“I’m a big fan of keeping it simple. I use a mix of to-do lists, calendar reminders, and a good old-fashioned notebook to stay on top of things which I use on Sunday evenings to envision the upcoming week. I also try to limit distractions and take short breaks throughout the day to recharge. When I have a lot on my plate, I just listen to some old school heavy metal to get in the zone and get the job done.”
How do you stay updated on the latest trends and developments in digital marketing?
“Given the rapidly evolving landscape of digital marketing, staying informed is a top task. I subscribe to industry newsletters, follow thought leaders on social media, and when I have more time, attend relevant webinars and conferences and listen to some podcasts! Additionally, I participate in online communities like /r/DigitalMarketing, /r/SEO and such to exchange ideas and learn from my peers. By staying curious and engaged, I ensure that my skills remain sharp and that I can leverage the latest strategies to drive our digital success.”
What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of work?
“Reading has been a hobby of mine since a couple of years ago. I enjoy fantasy & sci-fi, but I’m into contemporary stories right now, specifically contemporary japanese authors like Yu Miri, Haruki Murakami, Sayaka Murata and such. I’m into videogames too, but more like cRPGs where there’s tons of texts, story, lore and tabletop rules for strategic combat.”
