Laura Alejandra Bonilla

I connect creative ideas with digital strategy.

A designer by training. A marketer through experience. I bring together the creative, analytical, and practical sides of getting good work out into the world.

From Google Ads and team leadership to content on the shop floor, I fit teams hiring in paid media, digital marketing, content and social, or campaign coordination.

Langley Farm Market · Marketing internship

From the first idea
to the weekly shop.

I turn weekly promotions into social content and digital and print flyers, keeping the brand consistent from Instagram to the stores. My video work covers the concept, filming, editing, and publication.

Alongside production, I handle community responses and coordinate with store managers so the content reflects the customer experience.

SMART-TEK

Connecting campaign decisions to the purchase journey through Google Ads, event tracking, and reporting.

Read the project

The work: Implemented events in GTM, reviewed search terms, tested ad copy, and assembled Looker Studio reporting across campaign and e-commerce data.

The outcome: The supplied GA4 report shows monthly transactions moving from 143 in September to 244 in November 2025. This is the reported change over the period, rather than a measure of the isolated effect of any single tactic.

My career isn’t
a straight line.
That’s useful.

I started in Industrial Design, learning to think about the person using a product—not just how it looks. That perspective has stayed with me through every role since.

At Cognizant, I went from supporting Google Ads customers to becoming a subject matter expert, training specialists, coordinating projects, and leading teams. I learned how to make complicated things clear, and how to help other people do their best work.

Agency and freelance work brought me closer to campaign decisions, tracking, and the business owners behind the numbers. Working in hospitality and retail in Canada added something equally valuable: seeing the customer experience firsthand.

Today, I enjoy bringing those experiences together. That might mean shaping a content idea, filming it in-store, improving a campaign, or explaining what the data tells us. I like understanding the whole picture—and taking responsibility for my part of it.
