This digital marketing expert shares her knowledge from TikTok, where she came from a professional imperative, she explains.

"Because of the classes I teach, I need to have accounts on all social platforms to be able to talk about them with knowledge of the facts. When TikTok was launched in Spain, I started messing around and thought why not share marketing content, training, tools... "I'm sure some users might be interested in learning new things."

The first video where she came out talking about the Digital Marketing courses that she taught as a Google Activate teacher went viral "and from then on I understood that this was the type of content that could fit in".

At TikTok, explains Fátima Martínez, she had a clear objective: "Share

educational content

that would really help users and also something very important, continue developing my

personal brand.

 TikTok offers us much more

visibility

than any other platform and that results in knowledge, recognition, prestige and image of our own brand". 

What TikTok has given this professional is not little.

Apart from the community that has been created around her and that has allowed her, she says, to cross borders to give training and

conferences

"in Miami, Ecuador, Tijuana... as well as many Spanish provinces", it has also encouraged her to collaborate with

the media,

publishing her second

book

with Anaya Multimedia ('The TikTok Book: the essential guide for entrepreneurs, professionals and companies'), being hired by companies and individuals to design their digital strategy on TikTok...
