Fernando Macia

Professionally

I originally programmed the real estate web platform Inmostrategy, with Microsoft ASP language and SQL Server database, as well as the web traffic analysis tool Netmetriks, in Adobe ColdFusion with SQL Server database.

Among my first Web developments, the Chocolates Valor site was distinguished by Macromedia as “Best portal in Spanish”.

My business career has always been linked to the fields of communication and marketing. In 1992, I founded Magenta Creatividad, an advertising agency where I developed advertising campaigns, direct marketing, website design and corporate identity design, working for companies and institutions such as Pikolinos, Chocolates Valor, Cavanilles Foundation, Helados Alacant, Fundesem, Juan Gil-Albert Institute, etc. In mid-2001, Magenta Creatividad’s increasing focus on online strategy prompted the need for a company repositioning that would eventually lead to the new name: Human Level Communications.

For eight years, I combined my professional activity with that of technical director of the magazine Empresa Avanzada, published by Fundesem.

My professional beginnings were in radio (Radio Villena SER) and press (La Verdad newspaper).

Author of SEO Avanzado – Casi todo lo que sé sobre SEO (2020), Estrategias de Marketing Digital (2018), SEO – Técnicas Avanzadas (2015), Marketing Online 2.0 (2013), Técnicas Avanzadas de Posicionamiento en Buscadores (2011), y co-author of Marketing en Redes Sociales (2016), Marketing Online: Estrategias para ganar clientes en Internet (2010), Marketing con Redes Sociales (2011) y Posicionamiento en Buscadores, the first book in Spanish on SEO, published in November 2006 by Anaya Multimedia publishing house and of which new, expanded and updated editions were published in 2009 and 2012. And I am currently preparing, together with my colleagues at Human Level, a new book on SEO.
