I’m Javier Siriani, an Argentinian-born, with Italian roots, currently living in Buenos Aires. I am an artist, advertiser and brand strategist with 18+ years of experience in creativity, branding, innovation and business. 

My professional background involves photography, digital content management, website/app development, and spearheading digital business initiatives across multiple companies. Through my extensive work with digital products, I’ve gained a deep understanding of product team requirements within dynamic, agile environments. My research focus encompasses digital and mobile media consumption, branding, Product Growth, and strategic management within evolving media and communication sectors.

Currently, my studies revolve around AI applications in media, assessing media brand trust, media evolution, conceptualizing and measuring audience engagement, developing mobile media content, marketing strategies, and understanding cross-platform audience behavior.

Additionally, I pursued Website Design at Da Vinci School, completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Latin American Photography at Motivarte School of Photography, and earned a Postgraduate degree in Digital Business from the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina.

My journey into digital content strategy began early in my career as a Mobile Producer within Claxson’s digital teams, overseeing platforms for notable brands like Playboy TV Latin America, FTV, Infinito, Much Music, Venus, and G Channel. Following this, I transitioned to The Walt Disney Company Latin America in 2008 as a Content Distribution Coordinator before stepping into the role of Digital Product Manager at Turner Broadcasting System Latin Americathree years later.

My professional path led me to São Paulo in 2015, where I actively contributed to enhancing digital content within the Brazilian market.

Explore new growth opportunities systematically in any part of the customer journey, from awareness through marketing to brand ambassadors by optimizing the product.
