The opportunity
Brazil is a huge market, and easy to get wrong
Most international brands don't struggle in Brazil because the product is wrong. They struggle because the market was treated like everywhere else: same message, same checkout, same channels. That's the gap we close.

What we do
Your entry team for the Brazilian market
Strategy, content, media, e-commerce and retail under one roof. You brief one team, in English, instead of coordinating five suppliers in a language you don't speak.

Brand and social in Portuguese
Social, content and community run in Portuguese by a team that lives the culture, not one that translates it.

What does a market entry agency in Brazil do?
It adapts and runs your marketing for Brazil: positioning and messaging in Portuguese, the channels where Brazilians actually buy, paid media, e-commerce and retail relationships. Mark covers all of it with one local team, so you have a single partner from the first study to the daily operation.
Which marketplaces matter most in Brazil?
Mercado Livre, Shopee and Amazon lead online retail traffic in Brazil, followed by Magalu and others. The right mix depends on your category and price point, and we define it in the strategy before opening any store.
How do Brazilians pay online?
Pix, the instant payment system created by Brazil's Central Bank, became the most used method in Brazilian e-commerce in 2025, with 42% of payments against 41% for credit cards. Cards are often split into monthly installments, so a store built for Brazil needs both at checkout.
Can you work with our global team in English?
Yes. We work in English with you and in Portuguese with the market. São Paulo is on UTC-3 all year, which overlaps with the European afternoon and most of the US working day.
Do you only work with brands already selling in Brazil?
No. Some brands come to us before their first sale here, to test the market and plan the entry. Others already sell in Brazil and need to grow beyond one channel or one retailer, as Tognana did.
