Graça Araújo

With a proactive approach, a strong commitment, and a friendly charisma, I'm genuinely enthusiastic about the fields of communication, events and digital marketing. These subjects aren't just my academic and professional interests; they're my personal passions, where I thrive on the excitement of creating meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences.

I began my professional journey with an Erasmus internship at Turijobs, where I excelled in content creation and social media management. During this period, I produced engaging and informative content for various social media platforms and websites in both Portuguese and Spanish. I also conducted photo and video editing to create visually appealing multimedia content and had the opportunity to develop and deliver presentations effectively showcasing the company's services and products.

Following my internship at Turijobs, I moved on to Tecmer, where I played a crucial role in customer relations and administrative tasks. Here, I assisted in establishing and maintaining contact with customers, ensuring their needs were met. I effectively communicated information about the company's products and services, issued invoices and waybills with precision, and created and edited product catalogues to enhance their visual appeal and accuracy. Additionally, I contributed to international communication by translating essential documents and maintained and updated the company's database to ensure data accuracy.

Subsequently, I joined the team at Barter in Barcelona, where I furthered my career in event coordination and content creation. My responsibilities included organizing a wide range of events, from conferences to B2B networking events. I ensured the smooth follow-up and monitoring of event participants in both Spanish and English. In addition to event coordination, I created captivating content for various events, enhancing their overall appeal. I also played a pivotal role in translating documents to facilitate communication between English and Spanish-speaking participants and edited photos to create visually appealing event materials. My duties extended to managing and updating data in the CRM system. Notably, I was part of the team that successfully organized several notable events in 2022, including the Digital Enterprise Show (with the attendance of Barack Obama), Smart City Expo Doha, Smart City Expo Curitiba, Hispack, and Food4Future.

I pursued an Official Master's Degree in Events Management at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in 2021/2022, gaining specialized skills in event coordination and management.

Prior to that, I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Sciences with a specialization in Public Relations and Advertising at the Universidade do Minho from 2016 to 2019, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of communication strategies, public relations, and advertising techniques.

Additionally, I have a diverse educational background, including music-related courses at the Conservatório de Música do Porto from 2013 to 2016, and at Academia de Música e Artes de Vila Nova de Famalicão from 2003 to 2013 where I completed the 5th General Music Degree.
