To whom it might concern,
My name is Maria Padierna, a former senior planner at BBDO Mexico and recent member of plannersphere.

I have worked as a senior planner for 3 years now and 4 years before I was in brand management for PepsiCo and Danone group, in December 2008 I completed my MBA with a major in Marketing at Macquarie Graduate School of Management in Sydney.

Currently I'm looking to for an international opportunity in well known agency like DraftFCB , particularly in the strategic planning area. I have a great interest and passion for multicultural projects and brands.

I believe that my experience and credentials are quite unique and can result on great interest to your company. If the position is still available I would love to explore the possibility with you.

Let me know if you are interested and I will send my CV.

Cheers,

Maria
