The Checkers vs Chess Mentality:

Thinking ahead is obviously a big factor that separates successful and unsuccessful businesses. From a marketing perspective, it's mostly tied to risk tolerance.

🤦🏼‍♂️ Checkers mentality - only thinking of the up-front cost, and ignoring the fact that being overly risk-averse is what got you in a low-revenue cycle of paralysis in the first place.

✅️ Chess mentality - realizing that while you have to sacrifice in the short-term - you'll have more breathing room for it in the future - and saying "no" to a 1:12.5 Risk/Reward Ratio is mathmatically insane.

Here is an example of a business eith a chess mentality. We'll let the numbers do the rest of the talking.

Happy Friday - or as they say here - Bom Sexta Feira!

Some lighter Friday fun work with an Italian-Brazilian restaurant startup here in BH 🤙

Pumped to be going into Q2 focused on scaling Total Dynamic Services Vancouver - a well-established commercial maintenance company out of Langley that's ready to catch the next big construction wave brewing beneath the surface of the BC market this year.

While the construction market may seem dead on the surface - developments paused, subcontractors left unpaid, overextended homeowners - search metrics and ours/others' ROI on ads are saying otherwise.

From the tariff drama of 2025 and other factors, many contractors are giving up on marketing this year - which presents a massive opportunity for savvy companies who are positioned to invest.

With fewer companies bidding and demand quietly returning, we get a significant boost in ad ROI - lower Client Acquisition Costs, more reach, and more revenue generated. But even further - they are establishing their position for a full-swing 2027 market rebound.

For now - here's a sneak peek of our initial strategy. We look forward to showing some great Q2 numbers in the coming months!

We're very pleased to have the opportunity to work with https://mundoseguros.com.br - Mundo Saude - one of Brazil's best-established corporate and private health insurance providers.

Specifically - they want to expand their client base of foreigners across their offices throughout Brazil - NOT an easy task for even the most savvy Brazilian entrepreneurs.

Because marketing and sales dynamics are so different in LATAM from the rest of the world, many Brazilian companies struggle to appeal widely to foreigners - we aim to give them the strategies and the tools to change that.

As record numbers emigrate here from NAmerica and Europe - being able to appeal to both the local and newer, foreign populations here is an asymetrical market advantage to say the least!

A Canadian living in Brazil - helping Brazilians living in Canada - Is it too early to announce our "Client of the Year"?!

It's been a very cool start to 2026 helping Gustavo Neri Clothing - a Vancouver-based Brazilian fashion startup prepare and strategize for a HUGE launch at - well - I can't say exactly - but let's call it a very well-known Vancouver fashion show 😉

Sometimes, stricly hands-off contracts can be a bit dry for me - but not this one. These founders are not only extremely proactive and motivated - they also definitely know what they're doing.

- Base Branding/Marketing Asset Review: All set, right out of the gate.
- Business Plan Audit - on point. Specific enough to be concrete - general enough to remain flexible once they're in the trenches.
- Launch Strategy: Top Secret, but to say they have a tailwind is a dramatic understatement 😉
- Numbers/Pricing: Fundamentally sound for their current goals.
- Marketing Plan + Content Structure: Well-organized, with great continuity.

Amazing clients, smart business owners, great brand with real potential - I'm VERY excited to see where this project is this time next year!

Happy New Year everyone 🥂

Don't casually slide into 2026 - set the tone, and slam into Q1. 120 day push, then re-evaluate.

I've decided on an outcome for 2026, and have reverse-engineered it to what needs to be done in Q1. The entire outcome of my 2026 hinges upon being able to make a substantial investment into a new corporate project here in Brazil by February - so, now that I've recovered from 2025 - it's time to reverse-engineer the next 120 days.

Play chess, not checkers guys. All the best for 2026! 💪

As a business development consultancy that typically works with either corporates with strict parameters, or SMBs with limited budgets - we rarely get "carte blanche" when we work on ad creative - but Bom Dia Coffee Co. Is a great example of the type of project we really covet:

A balance of a high-end brand that demands a quality of creative that communicates it's essence - while allowing for punchy, fun ideas within those confines.
