What brands say

"Hi Giovanni! I just watched the video you posted. I'm emotional, so emotional. I loved it, so beautiful! Such beautiful dedication, I don't even know how to put it. Man, I'm so happy. Thank you so much for your time and for putting so much care into my product, all the dedication. I'm truly so happy."
"It's really good, you know? I liked it. I felt like a seed was planted there. I loved how the work was done. In terms of results, I was very happy with everything that happened. I think people are paying more attention to everything we do. Very happy, truly happy. Every time I open the video there are more people commenting, engaged people, and that was really important for us."
"Yesterday another bunch of people saw your video, on TikTok I think. They spoke really highly of the way you make the video. Thank you for your honesty, and for the videos too. Congrats. Wishing you all the success."
"This video got a lot of buzz. Awesome. A TV network even asked for an interview tomorrow to air on a local show here. Beyond that, I can't even count how many people sent me the video. It was really strong organic reach, 100% focused on Goiânia. We've already gained 5,000 followers."

Why we should work together

Hi, I'm Giovanni, a digital nomad and entrepreneur, and I research a lot before spending, just like your customer does. I know from the inside the doubt that stalls a purchase, and I know what your brand needs to show to move a person from doubt to decision.

I speak to your audience because I am your audience.

You need content that makes the right person stop, trust and act. That's where I come in: years of producing content for social media taught me what holds attention and what builds trust.

Your brand shows up on the move.

I change destination every month, so your content never has a repeated, predictable backdrop. Different scene, different stimulus, dynamic content with your brand in it.

I'm not an influencer, and I won't charge a fortune for a pretty reel that doesn't convert. My focus is content that brings real return, so everyone wins.

Get to know me

I'm Giovanni, from Goiás, Brazil. In 2024 I traded my apartment for a backpack, and since then home is wherever I take it off my shoulders. Digital nomad and entrepreneur, but before that I'm a people person. Empathy is how I navigate the world.

I've visited 10 countries with a camera in hand. Restaurants, stays, trails, beaches and mountains become content, because for me living is sharing.

What drives me is showing what's actually worth it, no sugarcoating, the way it really was.

"I'll never live to work. I'll always work to live."

Working with me

I build content packages designed to get results, whether it's a quick one-off project or a long-term partnership. I tailor the format and scope to your brand's goal and budget. I can follow your creative direction end to end, or bring ideas and guidance when you want help creating content that reaches more people.

We align on the goal, audience and deliverables in a call or email.

03
Filming
