If any of these hit home, this program was built for you.
I dream of expanding my company to the US, but I don't know where to start.
I'm worried about Brazil's economic future and want to diversify risk by tapping the world's largest market.
I want to expand to the US but don't want to burn through my entire budget upfront and have to come back home early.
I've hit a plateau in Brazil and need to explore new markets to keep growing.
I already know what I want to do — I just need help figuring out HOW to execute my international expansion.
I need local professionals and suppliers, but I don't want to waste time and money testing options in the dark.
If you recognized yourself in any of those, I can help. Over the past 11 years, I've helped 30+ Brazilian brands enter and grow in the American market — from CPG and food to tech, fashion, and services.

Month 1 — Assessment
We start with market intelligence and an audit of your brand. Your engagement opens with a full Market Research foundation through Soundcheck Insights — competitive landscape, consumer analysis, and personas for your specific US category ($3,000 value, included). In parallel, we apply the A.M.P. diagnostic: business blind spots, Brand Value Dashboard, and essential financial metrics (CAC, CLTV, margin).
Months 2–3 — Mindset & Positioning
The most strategic phase. With month 1's market intelligence in hand, we define your positioning for the American market: value proposition, differentiation, messaging, pricing, and channel strategy. We apply A.M.P. principles — finding your untapped advantage and crafting messages that resonate with the American consumer. I connect you to the professionals you'll need in the US: legal, tax, logistics, import, agencies, e-commerce operators.
Months 4–6 — Amplification
We shift from strategy to execution. This is where my expertise in marketing, branding, digital, and e-commerce comes in full force: campaign launches, channel optimization, e-commerce, strategic partnerships, and customer experience in the US. I help you navigate media decisions, creative adjustments, retailer pushback — and monitor KPIs to make sure every dollar invested is driving results.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
