This is the reason why he likes to say he was born to be dedicated to Media Buying. This business is all about analyzing, testing and experimenting with different banners; it\u2019s about seeing what others don\u2019t after spending hours surrounded by numbers. It\u2019s a thrill and a hunt and he happens to think it\u2019s the best job he could possibly have. When he isn't worried about helping Mobidea become better than it's even possible, Xavier enjoys playing softball with his childhood friends!","url":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/author\/xavier-santana\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2468"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24000,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2468\/revisions\/24000"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"learning_paths","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/learning_paths?post=2468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
