Retail and marketing references, Ricardo Vieira and Carlos Lacerda, found Digital Store Media, a 100% specialized Retail Media consultancy

With more than 20 years of experience accumulated in large companies, CRM projects, media and trade, executives were among the protagonists of the development of Retail Media in the country in recent years. Now, they consolidate this trajectory in a business that is born to support retailers, advertisers, technology platforms and agencies to navigate with clarity and result in this new ecosystem.

Digital Store Media (DSM) debuts in Brazil as the only 100% consultancy specialized in Retail Media with full-service performance.In order to lead retailers in structuring their Retail Media fronts, with support in the design of the area, choice of tools, team training and data integration.At the same time, it acts alongside advertisers and agencies, assisting in the choice of the best partners, construction of cases and efficient allocation of media funds.

“O Brazilian retail is facing a unique opportunity: to transform its assets into a smart and highly profitable media ecosystem.Our role is to connect brands and retailers so that campaigns are more efficient, with real impact on sell-out and brand building”, says Ricardo Vieira, founding partner of Digital Store Media.

“Containing someone who knows the market, actively participates in it and knows how to look at the retailer, the advertiser and the tools at the same time is a huge opportunity to create value and accelerate results, whether in sales or visibility,”, says Carlos Lacerda, co-founder of DSM.

The consultancy offers a complete diagnosis of retail media initiatives in companies, creates customized plans per funnel stage (onsite, instore media and offsite), supports the definition of KPIs and structure consistent metrics of measurement and attribution. In addition, DSM also works side by side with retailers to accelerate the structuring of new Retail Media areas as a business model, as well as accelerate the monetization of inventories, with marketing strategies and intelligent management of the journey in structured retailers.

Among the differentials of the consultancy are strategic planning, training of trained teams, support for marketing, execution with integrated data, construction of campaigns cooperative with retail and the delivery of reports with a 360-degree view on the performance of actions. The proposal is that both brands and retail chains gain efficiency, predictability and clear return on their investments.

“Different retail chains of various channels are currently acting at different stages of maturity in management and governance of Retail Media. It is necessary to understand what are the fundamental steps for each of them to increase the stage to accelerate the trails of professionalization of Retail Media so that the results evolve and meet the objectives of the advertising brands, ensuring customization, scale and results”, ratifies Lacerda.

With service expected to more than 10 major retail accounts and brand advertisers by November 2025, Digital Store Media already structures partnerships with food, pharmaceutical, home center and marketplaces networks.The consultancy will also promote workshops and content publications to foster education and leadership in Retail Media in Brazil.

The decision to found DSM came from the perception that the Brazilian market lacked an independent, specialized consultancy with an exclusive focus on Retail Media.“It lacked a real bridge between the goals of the brands and the potential of retailers. DSM was born to lead this connection with business vision, execution and technology”, reinforces Vieira.

Does online dancing bring real customers to businesses or can it go wrong?

Does online dancing bring real customers to businesses or can it go wrong?

When it exploded in 2021, much because of the pandemic, the TikTok app was recognized as the “lar of the” dances. Celebrities and ordinary people used the time in quarantine to create or reproduce famous steps around the world.

Time has passed and TikTok, although still recognized by most people, is much more than that. Manuals, tutorials and novels fill the feeds of people eager for entertainment and in this way, many brands:

“Trends are important because they humanize the brand and connect the end consumer with the social network, but care must be taken. In cases of brands “sem face”, this process is important, loyal and can even revert to sales or reputation, but there are cases where the strategy can go very wrong” says Thiago Andrade, Social Media Manager at KAKOI Communication.

The very wrong“air” according to Andrade concerns companies that end up getting lost in character, a doctor who comments on internet consultations or who makes “novelinhas” on real cases. Although it attracts a large number of likes and followers, the professional becomes an influencer and not a doctor anymore, for example:

“I remember Whindersson Nunes telling that his architect started doing dances at TikTok, it worked out very well, likes, comments, everyone congratulating, but projects that is good..nothing.What will be the credibility of this professional?You need to separate the humor from the work “, says Andrade.

According to Thiago, humanizing the brand on social networks is to show people, processes, day by day, without necessarily entering a specific trend. Separating what people want to see, from what brands think they want is different:

“O quadro “eu listen more I do not fire” shows owners listening to employees talking about wrong things they did with the commitment not to fire. Legal, humanizes, but followers know that day by day is not how” works concludes Thiago.

AI image editing APIs gain ground in content creation at scale

AI image editing APIs gain ground in content creation at scale

For small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), who face the challenge of producing quality visual content with lean teams, image editing APIs with artificial intelligence emerge as the ideal solution to automate, scale and professionalize visual creation without complication.

In a digital landscape where visuals sell, load time matters, and brand consistency defines audience perception, integrating an image editing API can mean the difference between growing or stagnating.

They act as invisible bridges between systems, allowing platforms to perform tasks such as background removal, resizing, compression, color correction and even aesthetic improvements with AI, all automatically and integrated into the company workflow.

For SMEs, this represents more than technical efficiency, it is a direct response to the day-to-day pains. Imagine a small fashion brand, for example, that has just completed the design of its new collection. With tight deadlines, the creation of dozens of images for e-commerce, social networks and catalogs can delay the launch, hampering the start of sales. By integrating an API, this process is reduced to minutes, allowing the focus to return to the core of the business: the product.

Another recurring example is visual inconsistency. How often does an SME have to deal with photos taken at different times and lighting conditions, or with varying sizes, which make it difficult to present uniformly in online stores? With APIs, these images can be automatically adjusted to ensure standardization and reinforce brand identity, without manual effort.

Among the main benefits are:

  • Automation and agility in handling thousands of images simultaneously;
  • Visual consistency, which reinforces brand identity across multiple channels;
  • Improves web performance, with optimized images that accelerate website loading and positively impact SEO;
  • Increase in conversion rate, especially in e-commerce, where high quality images directly influence purchase decisions.
  • Flexibility and customization to meet the specific requirements of different markets;
  • Automatic visual adaptation for multiple channels and digital formats.

With simple integration, even businesses with small teams can incorporate, in less than an hour, tools capable of transforming common visuals into content ready for engagement and conversion.

A practical example?The success story of the viral campaign of the film Barbie, from Warner Bros., who used Photoroom's background removal API to create custom posters from fan photos. Result: millions of organic interactions, global reach, increased ticket sales, and a real explosion of social media engagement & proof that well-implemented APIs deliver real impact.

“We are seeing a quiet revolution, where tools once accessible only to large players are now within reach of companies of all sizes”, says Matthieu Rouif, CEO and co-founder of Photoroom.“APIs represent the union between creativity and technology. They take away from SMEs the operational weight of editing and return agility, scale, visual control and creative freedom”.

As visual content consolidates as the main vector of online communication and sales, the integration of image editing APIs becomes not only recommended, but essential.

Go Bravo focuses on TikTok to attract new customers in Brazil

Go Bravo's strategy, a company specialized in debt negotiation, to attract customers through TikTok boosted lead generation.In the first month of the campaign, 6.7% of total sales originated from the video platform, growing to 19.28% the following month.In addition, the sales rate increased by 71% compared to the average of other channels already established.

Present in the global market for more than 15 years and in Brazil for three years, go Bravo already used other platforms for its campaigns. However, the communication team realized the importance of expanding its presence in several channels, especially to reach a larger audience. TikTok was chosen as a strategic focus, as it enables the dissemination of the company's financial product in a light and informal way.

According to Cintia Mendes, Growth Coordinator at go Bravo, the positive numbers came because the platform allows a dynamic operation. “A experience with TikTok Ads was exceptional, because being intuitive, it facilitates the process of creating campaigns. The ad model that TikTok allowed us to develop has become our favorite, due to the fluidity”, he said.

With the focus on increasing operations in Brazil, the Leads qualified campaign on the platform had the challenge of reaching as many customers as possible. For this, the format found as most efficient was Spark Ads, which led TikTok users to fill out a form on the brand's website. The paid campaign was combined with the content generated by influencers, in an easy, didactic and intuitive way. 

The participation of the Go Bravo team in the TikTok for Business Integration Program provided in-depth knowledge of the platform tools. The integration resulted in a large increase in the company profile, driven by the Community Interaction campaign, with some content reaching 3 million views.
