Train your brand with Marina Aísa: Working as a contractor for Apple or IBM
We are what we manage to build with our circumstances. Today more than ever, with the circumstances we've been given to live through, standing still is not an option.
That's why we want to have special and different episodes of our Solublabla podcast. Special episodes called #TrainYourBrand like the initiative we have open on our website and that we invite you to discover. If you have a brand and this situation concerns you, maybe we can help.
In this episode we'll have, as always, Ismael Barros and Máximo Gavete, and we'll be joined by a good friend of Soluble, Marina Aísa, a frontend developer for brands like Apple, IBM, and Holaluz. We'll chat with her about her relationship as "contractor" with these major brands, among other things.
