For more than 20 years I have turned briefs into results. I registered R$8 million in purchase values in Hasbro promotions, produced editorial content for DC Comics and Grupo MSP and, in partnership with Smollan-iTrade, worked on projects for Nestlé, DIAGEO, Barilla, Marfrig, SEMPARAR and SEMP TCL. I also took part in projects and bids for Gallo, Perfetti Van Melle and other brands. Today I combine strategy, funnels and AI in digital product launches. I plan the strategy, I execute it, and I teach others to do the same, because knowledge is meant to be shared.

More than two decades building strategies, leading teams and developing products in Brazil. I spent more than 10 years as Executive Editor at Mythos Editora (1999–2010), where I learned to plan, manage and deliver, then another 10 years running my own agency, Mighty Co (2011–2021), bringing that experience inside the brands.
In 2021 I made the most important bet of my career. I understood that AI would change marketing for good, and I decided to be part of that change before it became an obligation. Today I create methods, train professionals and work as a reference in AI applied to strategic marketing. What sets me apart is not only what I can do. I can explain clearly what most people still can't.
Let's talkI use artificial intelligence as a real lever for productivity and strategy, from building full campaigns to analyzing data and generating insights. Not AI as a writing assistant, but as an analytical co-pilot: it reads results, maps patterns and speeds up decisions that used to take days.
End-to-end multi-funnel structures, from brand awareness to conversion and retention. Funnel language adapted for physical products, digital products and high-ticket services.
Paid traffic, advanced tracking and data as a decision-making habit. From campaign to report, with an analytical eye for scaling what works and cutting what doesn't convert.
Since 2004 I have used quantitative modeling to anticipate markets, not as an academic exercise but as a real competitive edge. Trained in the empirical approach of Wesley Clair Mitchell (NBER), I analyzed cycles of budget migration between media to forecast the collapse of the printed publishing market. It happened about 14 years later, when Abril went bankrupt. What hasn't changed: using data to get there before the market sees the move. It wasn't intuition. It was method.
Two projects that grew out of my own shift: one for people who want to use AI in marketing, the other for those looking for deeper self-knowledge.
A practical method for marketing professionals to learn to use AI strategically, without technical jargon and with real results. It's not about tools. It's about thinking differently. (Course taught in Portuguese.)
iamarketingdozero.com.brA structured method for learning tarot with analytical depth. It isn't esotericism. It's a tool for symbolic reading applied to self-knowledge, built with methodological rigor. (Course taught in Portuguese.)
In continuous productionOver a decade building Mighty Co, a different kind of agency that created proprietary concepts on top of executing for clients.
Challenge: Boost Hasbro toy sales during the school holidays, inside independent toy stores.
Solution: Mighty Co ran the campaign end to end: design, production of themed furniture for the games on sale, hiring of staff and full team training, all within the client's budget.
Result: Ten weekends of activations delivered with no incidents and under 1% staff turnover.
Challenge: Create an unforgettable party for My Little Pony's 35th anniversary, with influencers and celebrities.
Solution: Mighty Co found a venue and turned the whole place into the My Little Pony universe: setting, scenography and themed areas for the children.
Result: A party that became a reference inside Hasbro and generated major impact on social media.
Challenge: A BUY-REGISTER-WIN promotion built around Hasbro and Transformers products as accelerators, in partnership with PBKids.
Solution: Microsite, prize draw system, audit and legal advisory, with approval from the regulatory bodies in 60 days.
Result: R$ 8 million+ in registered purchases, 28,000 taxpayer IDs (CPFs) registered and 98,000 lucky numbers generated.
British multinational and licensee of the Marvel®, DC Comics® and AMC® franchises. Mighty Co took over the full management of all Eaglemoss social networks in Brazil for 5 years, focused on driving e-commerce conversion. The team produced all the content for the "Hero Collector" blog, building brand authority and organic reach with a highly engaged fan base.
A brand activation created by Mighty Co during São Paulo's anniversary celebrations, applying the proprietary U-PDV concept. Special booths let people record videos and post them straight to their social networks with hashtags tied to the SEMPARAR brand, generating organic media and real engagement at scale.
Challenge: A cooking workshop in Recife using SEMP TCL products to lift sell-out on Mother's Day.
Solution: Hired a local chef and used the gourmet space at PREÇOLÂNDIA in Recife.
Result: A success, with 24 attendees and sales made during the event.
Developed for Smollan-iTrade: a national promotion to boost Barilla sell-out. Two-part mechanic: buy 3 products, register the receipt, win an instant prize and enter the grand prize draw. Full production of point-of-sale materials: side portal, alarm cover, stopper, window decal, shelf strip, wobblers and entrance poster.
A promotion developed for Smollan-iTrade with a points-plus-accelerators system, aligned with the Bassi, Montana Steakhouse and Montana Dia-a-Dia brands. Gamified mechanic: the higher the product value, the more points earned, and the faster the shopper reaches the bigger prizes. Simple design for efficient communication at the point of sale.
Over a decade, Mighty Co built an editorial portfolio few design studios can match: more than 10,000 laid-out pages and more than 500 magazine covers in Philosophy, Psychology, comics, and printed and digital books. The most unusual project: the complete digital restoration of 180+ issues of Revista do Senninha, an act of cultural preservation nobody else had done. Full-service capability from brief to delivered job.
Activity: Hasbro's presence at Game XP, July 24–28, 2019.
Solution: a Mighty Co team of 4 promoters managed the queues and captured visitors' mailing data.
Result: positive feedback from the client on the operation.
Activity: a Nerf championship inside the mall over two days.
Result: 52 people approached and 16 purchases, a 31% conversion, with 4 children playing in the championship.
Investment: R$ 85k in paid traffic across the launches.
Result: R$ 360k in sales, a 4.2 ROAS and more than 23k leads captured. The project's Instagram grew from 1,500 to 24k followers with paid media support. YouTube went from 1,000 to 7,500 subscribers through 100% organic growth, with no spend on video ads.
Context: Launch and scale of an analytical tarot course, a niche digital product sold to a cold audience. I ran the whole funnel, copy, creatives and campaign optimization from scratch.
Results for every launch, including the ones that did not go well. The turnaround came between LC03 and LC06: cost per lead fell from R$5.61 to R$2.07 and daily leads rose from 41 to 165. What changed: more creatives tested, budget adjusted every day, a validated pixel, and lead capture built on short clips from the warm-up lives.
| Launch | Leads | CPL | Spend | Sales | Revenue | ROAS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LS01 | 1,093 | R$ 2.39 | R$ 5,360 | 5 | R$ 4,787 | 0.9 |

CPL is the cost per captured lead. Spend includes lead capture, remarketing and distribution. Real sales are checked in Hotmart, the source of truth.
Client: British multinational and licensee of Marvel®, DC Comics® and AMC® in Brazil.
Scope: Full management of all social networks for 5 years: strategy, content production, community and e-commerce conversion.
Result: The Facebook page reached 200k followers in 2017, with a highly engaged audience. Full production of the "Hero Collector" blog, building organic authority with one of the most demanding audiences in Brazilian entertainment.
Challenge: 27 promotions and launches at once on a monthly budget of R$ 8,500 (Aug 2019).
Method: a monthly calendar, budget by weight, lookalike audiences of buyers with existing buyers excluded, and a fortnightly read by cost per purchase.
Result: an average of R$ 11.19 per purchase in Jul 2018 (9 campaigns, 262 purchases), a 7x gap between the cheapest campaign (R$ 6.35) and the most expensive (R$ 44.54). In Jul 2019, R$ 43 per purchase on traffic campaigns against R$ 150 on engagement.
Purchases as reported by Facebook Ads.
Context: Launch of the film "Mães de Chico Xavier" (Chico Xavier's Mothers) in 2011, when analytics tools like today's didn't exist.
Method: Manual hashtag tracking showed that terms tied to the word "mothers" sold far more tickets than the figure of Chico Xavier himself. In under 24 hours the whole campaign was repositioned to put the mothers first.
Result: The film stayed among the 4 highest-grossing releases in Brazilian cinema for 3 weeks in a row. A pioneering data-driven decision in Brazilian marketing, before any tool automated that process.
Role: founder. I own strategy, paid media, email, CRM and the numbers; freelancers help with video, design and writing.
Model: lead capture followed by an open cart, with Hotmart as the source of truth for sales.
See the full method in the "AI Study" tab.
Client: Ubook, an audiobook subscription platform.
Role: Executive Director of the agency (Paco's, later Mighty Co), leading the account and the strategy.
How we measured: the client did not share revenue, so media was managed by cost per paying subscriber.
Where I worked and which brands I served over three decades, including the work done in partnership with Smollan-iTrade.
Created Método IAMZ (AI Marketing from Zero) and Tarô Fora de Série (TFS), both sold on Hotmart. Run monthly launches with paid media, email funnels, CRM and a predictive forecast model. Strategy consulting, talks and workshops.

Over 10 consecutive launches (Jan 2025 to Oct 2026), I built a system where AI acts as an analyst and strategist connected to real campaign data, not as a text generator. Two pillars feed each other: avatar analysis (who buys) and the predictive algorithm (how much will sell).
The best launches reached 6.7x–7.5x return on traffic, up from about 2x in the first five. Next phase: continuous sales, with the model adapted to forecast recurring revenue.
A Bayesian updating algorithm learns from every past launch. It forecasts leads, cost per registration (CPR) and revenue in base, optimistic and conservative scenarios, as ranges and not single numbers, and sets the daily budget pacing. If CPR on Day 3 runs 15% above forecast, I react before the budget is gone. Validation: CPR forecast error within 5% in every launch with enough data (mean absolute error 3.1%).
A multivariate analysis of 3,522 survey respondents (factor analysis, K-Means, topic modeling, sentiment and hypothesis tests) produced 6 statistically derived avatars, each with its own copy and product path. The data showed fear of getting a reading wrong is the core pain, and that YouTube leads correlate with higher ticket value (ρ = +0.41), which redirected top-of-funnel budget.
Through Windsor.ai and the Meta Ads connector, AI reads spend, CTR, registrations and CPR by campaign, ad set and creative, then recommends what to pause, keep or scale. It ranks creatives (one ad drove 43% of a launch’s registrations), tests hypotheses against the data, and I validate every conclusion. Real sales come from Hotmart, because the pixel undercounts purchases.
CRM tagging, webhooks and segmented email, WhatsApp and ad remarketing by journey stage, plus a WhatsApp checkout-recovery flow that brought back 3 to 30 sales per launch (30 in LC07).
Real data feeds both the avatar analysis and the predictive model. The daily decision adjusts budget and creatives during the launch, and at the end of each launch it updates the model priors and the audience clusters for the next one.
| Layer | Tool or source | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Survey data | Google Forms / Tally; Python (pandas, scikit-learn) | Collects lead and buyer surveys; factor analysis, K-Means (k=6), topic modeling and sentiment produce the 6 avatars |
| Media data | Windsor.ai (Meta Ads, GA4); Meta Ads connector | Daily spend, CTR, registrations and CPR by campaign, ad set and creative; drafts new campaigns paused for review |
| Real sales | Hotmart | Source of truth for sales, payment method and coupon; conversions API redundancy for the pixel signal |
| Predictive model | Excel workbook, 11 tabs | Bayesian priors, daily updates, CPR curve, budget pacing, three revenue scenarios, validation vs. actuals |
| CRM and messaging | CRM tags and webhooks; email; WhatsApp | Segments leads by journey stage, remarketing for non-buyers, checkout recovery |
AI speeds up analysis but is wrong when it lacks context, so every conclusion is validated. A weekday error in the schedule and an incorrect claim that the pixel was broken were both caught and retracted. The method that came out of it: start with data quality, ask the AI for the hypothesis and the test that would confirm or refute it, separate measured from estimated numbers, and record every decision.
"An agency unlike anything you know." Ten years of operation in São Paulo. Mighty Co was a full-service agency specialized in shopper marketing, trade, live marketing, events and consumer intelligence. Three business units: Information & Analysis Bureau, Strategic Marketing & Planning and Conventions, Promotions & Events.
Proprietary methodologies: Business Modelation, Perception Matrix and FailFast. Tools: POS materials (uniforms, displays, wobblers, banners, videos), prize-draw promotions (approved in 90 days), live marketing, sales force incentives and internal marketing. Editorial legacy: 10k+ pages, 500+ magazine covers, restoration of 180+ issues of Revista do Senninha. Registered with AMPRO. Partner of Smollan-iTrade (2015–2020).
Direct clients: Hasbro · Eaglemoss (Marvel / DC / AMC) · Van Melle · PBKids · and others in consumer goods, retail, entertainment and technology.
In partnership with Smollan-iTrade: Nestlé · DIAGEO · SEMPARAR · SEMP TCL · Barilla · Marfrig (Bassi / Montana) · Nespresso.
Between 2019 and 2021 I developed a set of concepts that anticipated what the market would later call "phygital." The core idea: "There is no more digital and offline. There is only one point of sale." UNIQUE-PDV proposed bringing geolocation, gamification and inbound marketing straight into the physical buying experience. GEO-PDV took that further, with two pillars: a GPS microsite showing the shopper where to find the nearest product, and a white-label app with geodata intelligence and promotion push notifications.
The concepts were presented to clients, registered with AMPRO and even reached a structured budget, but never got off the ground. The market wasn't ready then. Today everyone talks about it.
A long-running collaboration with Smollan-iTrade, a global field marketing company with a presence in Latin America. Mighty Co contributed communication strategy, promotion design, POS materials and the innovative point-of-sale concepts (U-PDV and GEO-PDV) for clients such as Nestlé, DIAGEO, Nespresso (103 field promoters in 2015), Barilla, Marfrig, SEMPARAR and SEMP TCL.
A career of seeing things early. This space grows with every new talk and publication. (Materials in Portuguese.)
An analysis of the future of work and business over the next decade. Central argument: people are not resources, they are strategic. Topics: the Flynn Effect, zero marginal cost (Jeremy Rifkin), automation and the place of "extraordinary people" in the corporations of the future.
A workshop for GPTW, Great Place to Work, using my own analytical framework: Zeitgeist + Gestalt + Milton Santos. Scenario analysis for HR (the impact of robotics and AI), media (Big Data, social vs. individual media) and society (scarcity vs. abundance, new currencies).
One of the first trend analyses produced by Mighty Co, covering the impact of digital on Brazilian trade and retail. E-commerce data, shopper behavior and the rise of social media as a turning point for brands and agencies.
A strategy paper presented to Mighty Co clients. Its argument: a unified O2O point of sale is inevitable, and brands that don't integrate the digital-physical shopper journey will lose relevance within 18 months. Includes international benchmarks: Apple Store, Starbucks, Pão de Açúcar Mais.
