A little bit about me
Hi! Welcome to my personal platform. I am Dora Sinaga. I am a digital marketer, as well as a tour consultant. My deep knowledge of tourism and hospitality (from education and work experience) have given me an edge in creating relevant, audience-specific content, especially in destination marketing, travel campaigns, or customer experience.
With over 7 years of experience, from tour leading to sales and customer service, I have honed storytelling, persuasion, and customer insight skills, all essential for digital marketing, especially for content strategy and social media.
My academic and professional journey across Indonesia, Singapore, and the UK gives me cultural insight a huge asset for marketing, especially in the travel and hospitality sectors. What the most I have gained from my previous roles is the skill at translating guest needs into targeted content and digital engagement.
