Meet Ava creto

Ava Creto is a member of the Winter 2026 Develomark Cohort, where participants learn digital marketing through real agency work—meeting with clients, understanding how brands are built, and developing practical skills that translate directly into the field.

Ava’s spotlight centers on something many early-career marketers don’t get enough of: learning how an agency team operates day-to-day, in person, with real deliverables and real client expectations.

Learning the "why" behind digital marketing

Ava explains that the cohort has taught her how Develomark works with businesses to strengthen their brand and online presence. That starts with understanding what makes a company unique and using that clarity to shape marketing decisions.

So far, Ava’s work has included:

• Meeting with clients
• Learning how each business operates
• Identifying what makes the business stand out
• Helping translate that into a clear brand direction

A Standout Takeaway: Working In an Office and On a Team

One of Ava’s biggest takeaways is the experience of working in an office environment—three days a week—where collaboration is constant and communication matters.

She highlights learning:

• How to work with a team full of people
• How to present herself professionally
• How to communicate clearly in a group setting
  
  

For Ava, this is new—and it’s been one of the most valuable parts of the program so far.
