After almost ten years of working with words and visuals, Tina decided to open her own online business. Being eager to stay on the right track and save time, yet also being interested in living abroad since her University years, she has decided to apply to Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme. 

She matched with Davide, an owner of an SHM agency which specialises in solutions for marketing agencies, consultancy companies and PMI. Having started as a freelancer Davide now works with an international team of more than twenty people from more than seven different countries. This was a great match for Tina and they both started working together in a co-working space in Milan. Tina's main objective was opening her business to an international audience which was made possible through collaboration with Davide's SHM.


Tina’s daily tasks evolved around Project Management and Content writing. She has also learned SEO from scratch and this skill will be a starting point for Tinas’ future services. Other undertaken activities included UI/UX review, business consultations, and using of new tools like Asana and Markup.



The exchange was beneficial for both parties. Tina learned about project management and collaboration with international clients and colleagues. Whereas Davide benefitted from Tina’s fresh perspective and valuable input. He also got great help with content writing and project management. He particularly thrived from Tina's sharp writing and proofreading skills during the exchange. Other than working with new tools both Tina and Davide covered different areas of digital marketing. For example, by gaining SEO skills Tina learned about implementing the right keywords to make a text available and highly rated on Google. In addition, because SHM has worked with multiple clients these tasks ensured better visibility of their web pages ultimately leading to more traffic, customers, and revenue.
