Growth systems
for global brands
scaling in Mexico + LATAM.

I design and operate integrated growth systems — GTM, performance, influencer, and measurement — for global brands entering or scaling in Latin America. Built for revenue efficiency. Not vanity metrics.

A growth system is not a service. It's an operating architecture.

Most brands entering LATAM stitch together a Fractional CMO, a performance agency, an influencer agency, and an analytics team. Each function reports to a different stakeholder, optimizes for a different KPI, and operates without visibility into the others. That's not a system. That's a coordination problem disguised as a marketing department.

A growth system connects go-to-market strategy → creative production → performance media (Google, Meta, TikTok) → influencer marketing → measurement as one discipline. Decisions in one layer compound the outcomes in the others. For global brands scaling in LATAM, this is the difference between disconnected campaigns and durable, compounding demand.

That's what I design. That's what I operate.

What I do.

Nine capabilities organized into three pillars. Engagement models range from project-based advisory to embedded Fractional CMO retainers.

The Perfluencer Marketing framework.

A methodology I developed and codified into a book. The reason the impact above is repeatable, not lucky.

Influence is instinct. Stories are strategy. Data is truth.

Perfluencer Marketing fuses influencer marketing with performance accountability. Every creator activation is measured with paid media rigor. Every paid amplification is built on top of authentic creator content. Brands that adopt the framework consistently deliver 4:1 ROAS — substantially above the 1.5–3:1 industry standard.

FAQ.

Questions I hear most often from CMOs, Country Managers, and the marketing community.

What exactly is a growth system?

A growth system is an integrated operating architecture that connects GTM strategy, creative production, performance media, influencer marketing, and measurement as one discipline. Most brands operate these as separate silos with separate KPIs. A growth system makes them compound. It's how durable demand is built — and how revenue efficiency is achieved in markets where impulse-driven campaigns burn cash without learning anything.

Who is this for?

Global brands launching or scaling in Mexico and Latin America. CMOs and Country Managers who need senior strategic leadership in LATAM but aren't ready (or don't need) to commit to a full-time hire. Teams already running an agency or in-house function that need an orchestration layer above them.

How is this different from hiring an agency?

An agency executes. A growth system orchestrates — including agencies, in-house teams, and platform partners — toward measurable outcomes. For global brands entering LATAM, the bottleneck is rarely execution capacity. It's senior strategic judgment with regional context. I operate at the orchestration layer, with optional execution support through Minimalist Agency and partner agencies as needed.

What engagement models do you offer?

Three. Fractional CMO retainers (12+ months, embedded senior leadership). Strategic advisory projects (3–6 months, defined scope: market entry, brand positioning, attribution architecture, influencer ecosystem design). Workshops and speaking for executive teams and marketing conferences.

Why "Perfluencer Marketing"?

The market historically treated influencer marketing as a brand-awareness channel and performance marketing as a conversion channel — measured separately, optimized separately, run by separate teams. Perfluencer Marketing fuses both. Every influencer activation is measured with performance rigor. Every paid amplification is built on authentic creator content. It's how I consistently deliver 4:1 ROAS instead of the 1.5–3:1 industry standard.

What markets do you cover?

Based in Mexico City. Primary depth in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Peru. I work with global brands entering LATAM from the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Do you write or speak publicly?

Yes. Author of Oops, I Bought It. Faculty at EDEM and Colectivo 23. Speaker at Merca2.0 National Digital Marketing Congress and other LATAM marketing conferences. For keynotes or workshops, get in touch.
