Sr. Ad Sales Executive

Globo Group
10.2014 - 12.2021

Globo, the largest media group in Latin America, entrusted me with driving revenue and leading key industries, with a primary focus on retail clients in recent years.


I consistently generated over USD 100 million in annual revenue through comprehensive media 360-degree strategies. I established a new business division, spearheading high-impact commercial projects that increased my Book of Business by over 93% year-over-year.


Faced with declining engagement rates for a key account, Mercado Livre and Amazon, I conducted a thorough analysis of consumer behavior and campaign performance metrics. Identifying a gap in targeted messaging, I implemented a refined omnichannel strategy that integrated personalized digital content with programmatic advertising. This approach not only revitalized engagement but also aligned marketing efforts across TV and streaming platforms. As a result, we successfully doubled the annual revenue for the account, exceeding our targets by a significant margin


Additionally, I guided colleagues in developing robust commercial packages that fueled our sales success. For instance, with Mercado Livre, I led a cross-platform commercial project integrating TV, Digital, and Streaming, driving outstanding results.

Led the development and execution of comprehensive sales strategies across all business units, incorporating market analysis, product positioning, and competitive insights. This initiative resulted in a 30% increase in new client acquisitions and a 40% boost in monthly client retention rates.


Additionally, played a pivotal role in supporting product development, particularly in the creation of gaming products, where I led negotiations with the APAC region and managed the translation and optimization processes throughout the product launch.
