We had the good fortune of connecting with Bianca Colombi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bianca, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
From a young age, I have always been drawn to the arts. Whether it was painting, drawing, or photography, I found solace in the creative process. However, as I grew older, I began to realize that my passion for the arts could be channeled into a career in the digital marketing industry. As a skilled social media marketer, I specialize in using digital tools to elevate a company’s brand and increase website traffic. My expertise in Adobe Suite has allowed me to create eye-catching graphics and original content, which have proven to be successful in developing and executing social media marketing campaigns in collaboration with marketing professionals. This ability to combine my creativity with my technical skills has been a driving force in my pursuit of a creative career.
In addition to my graphic design skills, my ability to create SEO blog posts has ensured that the company’s online presence is optimized for search engines. Through my experience analyzing digital marketing plans and social media strategies, I have developed the ability to identify weaknesses and provide strategic recommendations for improvement.
What draws me to a creative career is the ever-changing nature of the industry. With new technologies and trends emerging constantly, it is essential to stay up-to-date and adapt to these changes. Utilizing my research skills, I actively engage in discovering the latest social media trends, ensuring that the management is informed of relevant changes that can benefit the company’s marketing activities.
Most importantly, a creative career allows me to engage with stakeholders and customers through the company’s social media accounts. With a customer-centric approach, I can actively engage with the audience, ensuring that their needs are being met while simultaneously promoting the company’s brand.
In conclusion, my pursuit of a creative career has allowed me to combine my passion for the arts with my technical skills in digital marketing. The ever-changing nature of the industry, combined with the opportunity to engage with stakeholders and customers, has been a driving force in my professional journey. I am excited to see where this journey takes me and how I can continue to utilize my creativity to elevate a company’s brand and increase website traffic.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others in the digital marketing industry is my unique blend of skills, experience, and work ethic. I take pride in my ability to create eye-catching graphics and fun videos that stand out in a crowded marketplace. This creativity, combined with my technical skills in Adobe Suite, SEO blog post creation, and social media analysis, has proven to be a valuable asset to the companies I have worked for. My experience as a videographer and gallery curator for the university I attended has also set me apart from others. This diverse background has given me a well-rounded perspective on the creative process, which has allowed me to bring a unique perspective to my work in the digital marketing industry.
My journey to where I am today has been a challenging one. It has required a combination of hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn and grow. I started out working two jobs as a videographer and a gallery curator while attending university. This required me to juggle a demanding schedule, but it taught me the importance of time management and prioritization.
As I moved into the digital marketing industry, I encountered new challenges, such as staying up-to-date with the latest social media trends and adapting to the ever-changing nature of the industry. However, I approached these challenges with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. I sought out training opportunities and actively engaged in research to stay ahead of the curve.
Overall, my unique blend of creativity, technical skills, and diverse experience, combined with a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn and grow, has set me apart from others in the digital marketing industry. While my professional journey has not been easy, it has been rewarding and has allowed me to pursue a career that I am passionate about.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
As someone who loves to explore the city, I’d to take my best friend on a tour of some of my favorite spots in Denver. First, I would take them to Chaos Vintage Thrift, where we can spend hours sifting through racks of vintage clothing, accessories, and home decor. From there, I’d take them to Mile High Flea Market, an outdoor marketplace with hundreds of vendors selling everything from antiques to fresh produce. We could also make a stop at any Arc Thrift Store that catches our eye, where we could search for hidden treasures and unique finds. After a morning of thrifting, we’ll be ready for some delicious vegan eats. I’d take my friend to Fellow Traveler, a cozy vegan bar that serves up tasty bites and cocktails. We could indulge in some late-night vegan treats and drinks while soaking up the cozy atmosphere.
For some underground nightlife, I’d take my friend to Club 1134, a renowned spot for some of the best underground house music in the city. Alternatively, if we can’t get to Club 1134, we could head to Milk Bar on goth night to catch the night scene and enjoy some live music.
After a night of dancing, we could use some fresh air. I’d take my friend to the Denver Botanic Gardens, where we can stroll through the beautiful gardens and soak up some sunshine. Finally, we could head to Mirus Art Bar and Gallery to catch a gallery show and enjoy some craft cocktails.
Overall, this itinerary is perfect for anyone who wants to experience Denver’s eclectic and unique vibe. From thrift shopping to vegan eats to underground nightlife, my friend and I can explore some of the best hidden gems in the city.
