Her latest vision Tell Tele a mobile marketing technology, it allows businesses access to promote their products, events and services directly to cell phones. Targetell is the proximity based advertising division of TellACell which is expected to launch in June 2007.

Andreia attributes her success to her strong family foundation. She believes that her background has enabled her to take on many challenges and achieve success, and these experiences have allowed her to showcase her leadership ability in addition to her strong work ethic. As a testament to her strong work ethic, she financed 100% of her education by working 2-3 jobs simultaneously throughout her college years before taking advantage of lucrative career opportunities in New Jersey, New York, Phoenix and most recently California. Andreia took on the challenge of working in the male-dominated advertising industry, where she dramatically increased the company sales, international brand awareness, and marketing efforts and was promoted to the position of national sales manager within one year. Achieving great success domestically by doubling sales numbers and sales staff, she was again promoted to International Sales Manager.

Not satisfied with a conventional path of climbing the ladder, Andrea personally financed her first enterprise: Performarketing: an advertising firm that caters to small companies and works as a middleman to negotiate co op advertising rates to get exposure on mediums such as billboards, bus stops and shopping carts, to name a few. Through the years she has become an expert in business promotion, branding and public relations.
