She emphasized that entrepreneurs – even with very limited means – can make use of different social media platforms to start their own businesses. Marta has spearheaded numerous innovative online advertising campaigns. For example, collaborating with the Spanish airline Vueling, she had Instagram users submit pictures taken in cities served by Vueling. The winning images were then displayed on the fuselage of a Vueling aircraft, thereby creating the first ever mid-air photography exhibition. Given its high impact and low cost, it’s understandable why this initiative shared a major award with American Airlines for best customer engagement campaign.
