ROI under scrutiny
Marketing is now held accountable for financial results. If it can't prove its value, it loses budget in the next cycle.
We start with the M.A.P.A. Diagnosis, our brand positioning diagnosis, turn what it reveals into a strategic marketing project and, when it makes sense, take over execution with a complete marketing team, all under a single strategy.
With Brazil's benchmark interest rate (the Selic) high, customer acquisition costs rising and paid media returning less, every real (BRL) invested in marketing has to earn more than a conservative investment would. And AI is changing how people find companies and how they buy.
Marketing is now held accountable for financial results. If it can't prove its value, it loses budget in the next cycle.
AI tools without a strategy or a process add cost, not time savings.
Pouring more money into paid media without a brand strategy, owned content and first-party data means accepting thinner and thinner margins.
When marketing and sales don't talk to each other, work gets redone and opportunities slip away.
This is the problem a strategic advisory solves.
The journey starts with the diagnosis and moves forward only when the previous step is clear: first understand, then design, then execute. Each step builds on the one before it, and you can stop at any of them.
The starting point. We map the business, the market and the audience, define the positioning and deliver a 90-day action plan. The plan is yours, even if you don't continue with us.
Explore the diagnosisWith the diagnosis in hand, we design and run the project: brand, sales, launch, processes and AI. A fixed scope, with a clear beginning, middle and end.
Explore the projectWhen the time is right, we take over execution: content, paid media, campaigns and performance tracking, with strategic advisory steering it all.
Explore the teamM.A.P.A. is the strategic diagnosis that opens every Arantho project. Across four pillars (Mapping, Analysis, Positioning and Action), we understand the business, read the market and the audience, define who the brand is and deliver an action plan. Without M.A.P.A., we don't start a strategic project or a marketing team.
We look at how the business works from the inside: offer, goals, sales, customer service, communication and existing assets.
We read the data to see what works, what doesn't, and where the gaps and opportunities are.
We define who the brand is, how it competes and why it matters to the market.
We turn strategy into an executable roadmap, with clear priorities, deadlines, metrics and ownership.
Every Arantho strategic project and every Arantho marketing team starts with the M.A.P.A. Diagnosis, so strategy always comes before execution.
After the diagnosis, we decide together which areas go into the strategic marketing project or the marketing team. These are the most common.
Sales funnel design, marketing and sales integration, a repeatable process and a predictable pipeline.

Arantho is a strategic marketing advisory based in Americana, in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil. Founded in 2021 and repositioned in 2023, it is led by two co-founders with more than 8 years of combined market experience. We work with companies across Brazil and abroad on positioning, sales, branding, content, paid media, processes and AI, directly with the people who make the decisions.

An entrepreneur since he was 17, Claudio came to marketing from the business management side. He graduated from Belas Artes, is completing an MBA in Management, Entrepreneurship and Business Development at PUC, and lived in the United States, where he studied business models up close. At Arantho, he leads the diagnoses, bridges marketing strategy and business management, and runs the AI and process projects.

Before Arantho, Luciana founded FitGli, a healthy sweets shop that became a local sensation in Americana, and worked on the strategy side of a marketing company in the city. With ongoing training in marketing (more than 10 courses), she leads communication strategy, positioning and brand archetypes at Arantho and represents the company at BNI and at speaking events.
We believe strategy comes before execution, that AI is part of a company's infrastructure, and that results have to be measured.
Headquartered in Americana, São Paulo, Brazil, we work with clients across Brazil and abroad. In-person projects are mainly in the Campinas metropolitan area, the interior of São Paulo state and the city of São Paulo. Ongoing strategic advisory is done remotely, with companies wherever they are.
It's a model in which the firm you hire runs marketing together with your in-house team, from strategy to execution. An agency produces assets and campaigns; a consultancy diagnoses, recommends and leaves. An advisory starts with a diagnosis and stays with the execution until the business goal is measured.
An agency sells deliverables (posts, ads, campaigns). An advisory leads the strategy and measures what it delivers. A traditional agency works on a standardized monthly package, which suits companies that need steady, high-volume execution. A strategic advisory like Arantho works on tailored projects, side by side with decision-makers, starting with a diagnosis and tracking the indicators set in the plan.
| Criterion | Agency | Strategic advisory |
|---|---|---|
| What it delivers | Assets and campaigns | Strategy, method and project leadership |
| Model | Standardized monthly package | Tailored project, built on a diagnosis |
| Starting point | Brief | M.A.P.A. Diagnosis |
| How it measures success | Volume of deliverables | Business goal achieved |
Mid-sized companies that already invest in marketing and want to grow with a clear method. They usually come to us during a repositioning, a product launch or a move into a new market, or when their marketing spend has gone up and results haven't kept pace.
M.A.P.A. is Arantho's proprietary methodology and the starting point for every strategic project and every marketing team. It's a strategic diagnosis in 4 pillars and 9 stages: Mapping (understanding the business from the inside), Analysis (reading the market, the competition and the audience), Positioning (defining who the brand is and how it competes) and Action (the 90-day plan, with priorities, deadlines and indicators).
Yes. Arantho is based in Americana, São Paulo, Brazil, and works with clients across Brazil and abroad, on both remote and in-person projects. In-person work is mainly in the Campinas metropolitan area, the interior of São Paulo state and the city of São Paulo. Ongoing advisory and strategic projects are run remotely for companies anywhere, online, in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
We work in three formats, in sequence: the M.A.P.A. Diagnosis, which is the starting point; the strategic marketing project, with a fixed scope based on the diagnosis; and the complete marketing team, which takes over execution (content, paid media, campaigns) with ongoing strategic advisory. We also offer paid media management as a standalone service, for companies that already have a clear message and positioning.
First, we map where AI can free up the team's time and which repetitive processes can be automated. Then we implement it, with clear rules of use: marketing and sales workflow automation, predictive analytics, content generation at scale with quality standards, and agents for internal operations.
It depends on the scope. We don't sell standardized packages: the starting point is the M.A.P.A. Diagnosis, and each project or team is priced after it, with deliverables, timelines and fees set out in the proposal.
It depends on the scope. In the vast majority of cases, the M.A.P.A. Diagnosis takes 4 to 8 weeks; the exact timeline comes from how each project is designed. Brand repositioning projects take around 3 to 6 months. Launch or AI implementation projects can range from 2 to 12 months, depending on complexity. The complete marketing team, with ongoing strategic advisory, is a long-term commitment, usually 12 months or more.
The first step is a free alignment call, booked through our form or on WhatsApp. On that call, we learn about your business goal, assess whether we're a good fit and, if we are, propose the M.A.P.A. Diagnosis as the starting point.
When your company has a clear business goal, such as growing sales, launching or repositioning a brand, or implementing AI, and needs someone to lead the strategy alongside the team, not just produce assets. Also when marketing spend has gone up and results haven't kept pace.
The first conversation is free, with no obligation. You tell us your business goal, we assess whether we're a good fit and, if we are, we propose the M.A.P.A. Diagnosis. Meetings can be held online in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
