In addition to joining in on the #CafecitoConMariasGamesa conversations on social, Marias Gamesa wants fans to stay connected with the moms in their lives with a reminder to #MárcaleAMamá. Viewers could catch the campaign running on Meta, YouTube and TikTok through Mother’s Day. “As a brand that prides itself in being as authentic as mom’s love, Marias Gamesa celebrates all the effort, energy and love that moms and mother figures continue to pour into their families and everything they do.
