On Friday, February 13, Mariouza Boufea, Managing Director of Socially Virtual, spoke as a guest at the American College of Greece (DEREE) during an event held at Elite City Resort, highlighting her journey from student life to entrepreneurial success in digital marketing.
In her speech, she shared her personal experiences as a student, describing the uncertainty she felt during her studies and the positive impact that Deree had on organizing her thoughts and setting her goals, which ultimately encouraged her to pursue a career in Marketing Management. She emphasized that the flexibility of the program and the guidance she received were decisive factors in shaping her future path.
She then spoke about her professional development, which includes significant international achievements, such as ranking third globally in the sales department of Tiffany & Co.’s flagship store in New York and taking on the position of Assistant Manager at the largest Burberry Americas store in Boston. She also founded her own digital marketing company, Socially Virtual. Based in Messinia, her team collaborates daily with dozens of businesses, helping them build a strong presence in the digital marketplace.
Her company is experiencing rapid growth and steadily increasing collaborations, establishing itself as one of the rising companies in the digital communication sector. Socially Virtual offers comprehensive digital marketing services, including social media strategy and management, content creation, SEO, blog writing, branding development, professional photography, video production, and even drone services. Additionally, the company invests heavily in artificial intelligence (AI), integrating modern tools for automation, data analysis, and personalized advertising to maximize results for its clients.
A key factor in the company’s success is Socially Virtual’s professional studio in Kalamata, fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This allows for professional photography, advertising content production, social media content creation, as well as podcast and educational video production. This setup ensures high-quality aesthetics, technical precision, and fast execution without relying on external collaborators.
