Abad holds a degree in journalism from the Faculty of Information Sciences of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and a Masters in Business Information from the UCM and the Association of Economic Information Journalists (APIE). She is a member of the Madrid Press Association (APM).[1]
In 2000, she co-founded Zentropy, McCann Erickson's first internet company. In 2006, Abad was part of the founding team of the magazine Brandlife, where she continued to work until 2009. At that time, due to internal problems within the publication, four people left. They started Yorokobu magazine the same year. They had no investors, only savings, so they worked for the first year without being paid.[2]
Abad has worked for Canal Sur Televisión in Almería, the newspaper La Voz de Almería, the EFE agency in Madrid, CNN in Atlanta (United States), the magazine Anuncios (Madrid), the magazine Brandlife (Madrid) and the television channel Telecinco. She has also worked for the business daily Cinco Días, Esquire magazine, Los 40 radio, the magazine Interactiva y Estrategias and Antena 3 TV's TecnoXplora technology channel.
She has taught at the Istituto Europeo di Design, the Foxize School, the University of Santander and the Pompeu Fabra University, among others. She has been deputy editor of the magazine Ling, of the publishing house Brands & Roses, and editor of the Yorokobumasthead.
Mar Abad has written for the programme El condensador de fluzo on RTVE and founded the podcast production company El Extraordinario,[3] where she is the scrip-writer and editorial director.[4] She also contributes to the podcast Las Palabras, on Radio Prisa, for the teaching of the Spanish language.[5]
In 2022 Abad published Romanones. Una zarzuela del poder en 37 actos (Romanones. A zarzuela of power in 37 acts), dramatized biography of the Count of Romanones. The journalist Cristóbal Villalobos described it as 'agile and entertaining'.[6]
