02 · Before we start · Ten questions for you and your business

Ten questions every business should be able to answer.

Answer honestly, just for yourself. Mark Yes only if it is a full yes; if it is partly, it is No. If you are not sure, Unsure. Each answer builds your diagnosis in block 09, and each "no" or "unsure" leads to the chapter with the answer.

03 · Context and vision · The challenge companies face

Growth demands an integrated view of the business.

Consumers move across channels, compare options and expect the same experience in all of them. To grow in this setting, three fronts need to move together.

The three fronts

This strategy is organized into three fronts that need to move together

Market

More competition

Differentiation, trust and preference fought over in a space full of options and touchpoints.

RequiresA brand that stands out
Customer

More complex journeys

Physical and digital integrated, fewer barriers and a consistent experience before and after the purchase.

RequiresA frictionless journey
Business

More focus on results

Growing while balancing acquisition cost, conversion, recurrence, revenue and margin.

RequiresProfitable growth
→ What it takes

Growth takes more than good isolated initiatives: it takes an integrated strategy and an operation driven by priorities and results.

On the leadership table

Six challenges at the same time

In day-to-day operations, this demand turns into six challenges that land on the leadership table together.

01
More ambitious growth targetsGrowing faster, with the same base and the same team.
02
More efficiency and profitabilityEvery unit invested needs to come back as revenue and margin.
03
More complex buying journeysCustomers move across channels, physical and digital, before deciding.
At the centerIntegrated leadershipthat connects strategy, teams and execution
04
Fragmented data and channelsInformation scattered around, with no single view of the customer and the funnel.
05

06
Strategy that never becomes executionHard to turn the plan into consistent delivery.
→ My work

Connecting strategy, teams and execution to drive consistent, profitable growth.

04 · In practice · How I deliver that connection

When that connection is missing or weak, that's where I help.

A missing or weak connection between strategy, teams and execution becomes a concrete problem in companies of every size. On each card: the size of the pain in the Brazilian market, how I solved it and the result I delivered.

The first line of the thesis · Branding and product marketing

How a brand becomes a preference

Branding goes beyond visual identity. It is about consistently building the perception that makes customers believe, choose and come back.

Reasons to buy

In perceptionThe choice
05 · Brand

Experience

01Diagnose
Diagnose · How I think

Understand before proposing: the questions I start any diagnosis with

If the diagnosis is wrong, targets, budget and team inherit the mistake. That is why the first move is to listen, read the numbers and live the journey before recommending anything.

01

Business, context and priorities

Foundation
  1. What is the revenue goal for the next 12 to 24 months, and how much comes from new customers, the current base and new business?
  2. Does this moment call for expansion, margin gains or consolidation? Each one calls for different marketing decisions.
  3. Which constraints are non-negotiable: cash, regulation, investor commitments, deadlines?
  4. If you could solve a single revenue problem in 90 days, which would it be?
  5. How will the CEO and partners define success for this seat at the end of the first year?
02

Brand and positioning

Marketing
  1. What place does the brand want to hold in the customer's mind, and does it hold that place today?
  2. What do customers say about the brand, and where is that measured: branded search, share of search, NPS, reviews?
  3. How much demand already comes through the brand, and how much depends on paid media?
  4. Does the brand sustain price, or do sales depend on discounts?
  5. What is done with agencies and what is done in-house in brand, content and creative?
03

Acquisition, media and channels

Growth
  1. What is the current budget by channel, who decides the allocation and based on what criteria?
  2. How do CAC, ROAS and payback vary by channel, audience and product?
  3. Where is the dangerous dependency: a channel, a partner, an algorithm?
  4. Are media, SEO, CRM and partnerships attributed all the way to revenue, or only to the click?
  5. Which channels and audiences have never been tested, and why?
04

Funnel, conversion and experience

Growth
  1. Where does the funnel leak most: visit, sign-up, proposal, checkout or first purchase?
  2. How long does a customer take from first visit to first purchase?
  3. Is there a testing and CRO routine, with a hypothesis, an owner and documented learnings?
  4. Do marketing and sales use the same definition of a qualified lead (MQL and SQL)?
  5. Do physical and digital work as one journey, or as two businesses?
05

CRM, retention and base

Growth
  1. How much of the base buys again within 12 months, and what is churn by segment?
  2. Is the second purchase driven by its own journey, or does it happen by chance?
  3. What is LTV by cohort, entry channel and product?
  4. Is the base segmented by value, behavior and life stage?
  5. What loyalty, referral or VIP programs exist, and how much do they return?
06

Revenue, pricing and margin

Revenue
  1. How does revenue split by line, channel and segment, and which has the best margin?
  2. Does growth come with margin, or is it being bought with discounts and incentives?
  3. Which pricing, promotion and mix decisions go through marketing today, and which should?
  4. What LTV : CAC and what payback does the business accept in order to accelerate?
  5. How is the forecast built, and how early does leadership see the month's close?
07

Product and offer

Product
  1. Does each product already have product-market fit (PMF), and do customers perceive the value proposition the same way?
  2. Which products attract, which convert and which retain?
  3. How does marketing take part in the roadmap and go-to-market of launches?
  4. What is the time-to-money of a launch today?
  5. What do customers ask for that the product does not yet deliver?
08

Customers and journey

Customers
  1. Who is the customer that generates the most value, and what do they have in common with the others?
  2. What led to the first purchase, and what makes a customer come back or not?
  3. How do customers compare the company with competitors when choosing?
  4. What are the most frequent complaints, and who answers them?
  5. What makes a customer buy more, and what makes them cancel?
09

Data, technology and decisions

Foundation
  1. What stack supports decisions today: CRM, CDP, BI, data warehouse?
  2. Is there a single KPI framework, or does each team use its own definition?
  3. At what point in the month can leadership see results with confidence?
  4. Which decision is stuck for lack of data, alignment or an owner?
  5. Which data is fragile today, and is that openly acknowledged?
10

People, teams and the future

Foundation
  1. How is marketing organized: who does brand, media, CRM, content and data?
  2. Who are the people the operation cannot lose, and what do they need to grow?
  3. Where are the gaps: seniority, headcount, tools or role clarity?
  4. What is done by the in-house team and what by partners, and is that a choice or a legacy?
  5. Which capabilities do we need to build for the next growth cycle?

09 · In your company · How I can help with the next challenges

What I can add to your next challenges.

Every company has its own moment, its own team and its own challenges. In the previous blocks, I showed how I think, how I work and what I have lived. Here, simply put, is where I believe I can contribute.

Your company's stage · From zero to scale

Each stage calls for a different focus

A start-up, a scale-up and a large company grow in different ways. I have been through all of these stages, and the conversation makes sense starting from yours.

Where I can contribute

Six ways to add to your team

None of this is done alone. What I bring is the experience of connecting marketing, data and business, always alongside the people who already know the company from the inside.

01

Connect marketing to business results

Bring brand, performance, CRM and data closer to sales, product, technology and finance, with revenue and margin as a shared reference.

See it inSeven fronts, one P&L↑
02

Bring method and cadence

Start from a good diagnosis, choose a few priorities and agree on owners and rituals so decisions actually happen.

See it inFive moves↑
03

Adapt experience to your context

iGaming, B2B credit, SaaS, education and major agency brands: each context taught me something I carry into the next.

See it in9 cases↑
06

Integrate physical and digital

Design a single journey, from social media to the store, from QR code to app and from WhatsApp to CRM, with brand, offer and data coordinated.

→ At the end of the day

What drives me is seeing a business grow in a healthy way. Each front has its specialists; my role is to help them all row in the same direction.

With your diagnosis in hand, the next step is a conversation. If you have a target ahead, a challenge that has not found an answer yet, or you want to exchange ideas about your business's next step, I would love to hear about it. Whether for an executive role, CMO as a Service, a project, advisory or mentoring, the conversation starts the same way: understanding your context.

A good conversation is usually the best start

01 · Where you are
