After sending her CV, she received an email from the PR firm telling her that they were looking for a man because the role would require work with Coca-Cola and Carglass accounts. She tweeted a screenshot of the email she received, which is written in Spanish, alongside the comment: "Unbelievable to think that some companies still don’t support gender equality in the workplace."
"Believe me, they need a man to be able to deal with the day to day, the visits, knowledge of production, etc," read the email.
Hi Carla,
Thanks for sending your CV…We are currently in the selection process but we are looking for a guy because the role requires to work with accounts such as Carglass and Coca-Cola… and believe me, they need a man to be able to deal with the day to day, the visits, knowledge of production, etc. But we will keep your professional history at hand in case we need any future help.

Coca-Cola España issued a statement on Twitter stating that it would no longer work with the PR agency and added that they support companies which have "inclusive, diverse, and equal" employment policies. "We are very sorry that our name has been aligned with this discriminatory and unfortunate response," read the tweet.

Impulsa Comunicación has since made its website unavailable, but its director told ABC, a newspaper in Spain, that the company "in no circumstance" accepts discrimination.
"Apologies for the misunderstanding, I have personally spoken to this candidate," Pere Terés told ABC.
"We have invited her [Forcada] in. We are a company of transparency with parity, but in no way is it acceptable under any circumstance for there to be any type of discrimination," Terés continued.
