A mutiny is a rebellion against proper
authorities. It is a journey into doing
things in a different way. The denial of
the status-quo.
This translates into our business culture
by openly opposing anti-efficiency
patterns and seeking creative solutions.
As you´ll find out, this is especially
necessary when it comes to hacking into
the Brazilian Market.

THE OPPORTUNITY

5. Ok, so you got a great product and you
are scaling in your core market. Good for
you! But just translating your website or
app and hiring Portuguese speaking
customer support won’t be enough.
Developing a profitable business in Brazil
demands specific market knowledge to
deal with a totally different business
culture, different language, different
customers, different currency, different
payment methods, different legislation
and regulation authorities...
And the list goes further.

FREELETICS
THE COMPANY
Freeletics is a Munich based company whose vision
is to challenge and inspire everyone to become the
best version of themselves, with the help of its
market-leader fitness apps. Now with 36 million
users, 4 apps and a clothing line, Freeletics is one of
the fastest-growing sports and lifestyle companies
in the world.
THE CHALLENGE
When Freeletics reached out to us in early 2015, the
initial excitement around launching Freeletics in
Portuguese had turned into a bitter disappointment.
Despite the company’s efforts in localizing the apps
and offering customer support in portuguese, the
overall performance in Brazil was way below the
expectations.
12. THE SOLUTION
Our initial assessment revealed that localizing the
apps was only the tip of the iceberg. So we
proposed a 360 degree approach where our
consultants would remotely contribute with various
teams at Freeletics HQ. We acted decisively in many
fronts, such as PR, social media, customer support,
payment methods, pricing strategy, content
production, performance marketing and
partnerships.
After only 6 months it was already clear that our
contribution paved the way to make Freeletics one
of the most famous apps in Brazil and surely a
market leader in the fitness segment. Now
Freeletics has a profitable operation in Brazil, which
is growing steadily. Brazil turned from a "business
adventure" into one of the top 5 markets for
Freeletics, with a growing community of over 3
million users, which now nearly represents 10% of
the global Freeletics community.

13. THE COMPANY
Owned by a Swiss technology group, ‘Esens is a
Blinkist-like multi-device platform that offers 15-
minutes summaries in audio and text of non-
fictional best sellers.
THE CHALLENGE
Esens reached out to us months before the
Brazilian launch, seeking support to establish their
local operation. We were involved in the
recruitment of the team, pricing strategy, quality
control of the content offered, marketing strategy
for launch and its maintenance for continuous
growth. The goal was to quickly conquer a volume
of users that would finance the first few months of
operation, as well as to create brand awareness
that attracts investors, establish fair competition
with local brands and prepare the company to
stand the arrival of international players.

14. THE SOLUTION
With our extensive network of contacts and
partners, we were able to assist in recruiting a
dream team composed of technology-savvy and
experienced professionals. Together with the
international team and the recently recruited
stakeholders, we planned and executed a
successful launch and laid the foundation for a
solid continuous operation. In particular, the press
launch strategy brought great results (57 million
people impacted), and in parallel with the other
marketing initiatives was able to attract more than
10 thousand new users to the app. Also, a lean and
scalable summary production process was
established.

15. THE COMPANY
Sprinklr is a worldwide company that provides a
complete social software platform that helps
enterprises manage consumer experience at every
interaction. The platform provides end-to-end social
functionality including paid media, owned media,
and earned media for large enterprise clients, such
as Nike, Microsoft, McDonald's and Nasa.
THE CHALLENGE
When Sprinklr started its operation in Brazil, it faced
a fierce competition by local players widely known
by the decision makers of the market and with
prices adapted to the Brazilian reality. Also, because
Sprinklr aims at large clients, negotiation of new
accounts would take up to 7 months, demanding
extraordinary efforts by the team.
It was clear that Sprinklr had not only to adapt its
service and prices to the local standards, but also to
develop awareness and trust among the decision
makers.

SPRINKLR
16. THE SOLUTION
Our research revealed which adjustments had to be
made on the product / pricing side. We also found that
the decision makers in Sprinklr's market were the
account managers of the marketing agencies working
on behalf of the top companies in Brazil. Next step was
to find out the most effective channels to influence
these decision makers.
With a solid PR strategy, we positioned Sprinklr in niche
press vehicles dedicated to presenting technology
trends to marketing professionals. With recurring
articles and other publications, we used the credibility
of those niche media vehicles for a targeted trust-
building process with the decision makers. In addition,
we reached out the main public using social-media
monitoring cases of famous international brands, as
well as data about the digital relevance of popular
topics in Brazil. This turned out to be decisive, because
the agencies would only use Sprinklr as a tool, if it had
reached a certain awareness level. The total reach
achieved by these efforts were of over 15 million
Brazilians every month. 16
