Oh, hi.
Andre Havro
I’ve always believed that marketing is more than just selling a product—it’s about building authentic connections with consumers. My career has been a journey of blending strategic thinking, innovation, and a deep understanding of market dynamics to drive global brand growth.
I began my marketing career by founding Inovação Comunicação Interativa, one of the first digital marketing agencies in Brazil. We quickly gained national recognition, winning multiple prestigious awards, including five national iBest Awards, and were ranked as the second-best agency in the country. This early success reinforced my commitment to innovative, data-driven strategies throughout my career.
During this time, I also co-founded AETI, a pioneering organization dedicated to professionalizing IT service companies in the late ‘90s. These experiences taught me the importance of adaptability, innovation, and a deep understanding of market dynamics in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
I later transitioned into trade marketing at GAMA Italy Professional, where I led a regional team and implemented strategies that significantly boosted sales. My time at GAMA reinforced my belief that success in marketing requires not only innovation but also a clear understanding of the market and the ability to adapt strategies to meet customer demands.
In 2003, I shifted my focus back to digital marketing as co-owner and Digital Marketing Director at Icorp, a digital agency. I developed innovative digital strategies for high-profile clients such as TIM Brasil, Beach Park, and Dufry. My data-driven approach and strategic vision helped clients improve their digital footprints and drive measurable business results.

Working with Andre has been a real pleasure, and a constant flow of creativity, consistency and hard work that paid off! He joined the project I lead to streamline and oversee our non-search marketing activity, and his energy and dedication were a complete revolution: he took the time to strategise, advise, direct and, more significantly, coach me and my team. His expertise had direct results in a couple of months, helping me achieve results that were “firsts” in our company.

My expertise in digital marketing led to an invitation to join the OEM team, where I helped establish an online department within this traditional advertising agency. In 2005, I became the Account Director at OEM Comunicação, one of the most respected communications companies in Brazil. In this role, I guided digital strategies, managed advertising campaigns, and cultivated strong client relationships.
From 2008 to 2015, I served as Sony Electronics' National Trade Marketing Manager. In this role, I managed a team of over 400 brand ambassadors and drove three consecutive years of sales growth. My geo-targeting strategy led to significant revenue gains and solidified Sony Brazil’s position as a top performer globally.
In 2015, I acquired two MyShoes franchises, now part of Arezzo&Co. As a franchisee and Regional Marketing Director, I led cross-functional teams to align product offerings with local market demand and regional trends, ensuring consistent brand positioning and driving sales growth.
In 2017, I moved to Canada and joined Brand & Mortar as a Senior Marketing Strategist and Project Manager. I played a crucial role in developing successful strategies and campaigns for well-known brands such as Palmer’s, Second Cup, Fellowes, and Rhoziva. My strategic expertise helped these brands achieve their marketing goals and successfully enter the Canadian market, significantly boosting sales and operational efficiency. By enhancing project management processes and leading impactful campaigns, I contributed to the agency’s growth and strengthened its industry reputation.
At Resulta, for three years, I played a pivotal role in elevating our clients’ digital campaigns on a global scale. Leading the Global Community Management Department, I developed and executed strategies that expanded our audience through email marketing, CRM, influencer marketing, and DSP campaigns. Collaborating with in-house teams and global partners across Australia, the UK, the USA, Spain, Brazil, and Canada, I ensured seamless project execution. These efforts resulted in optimized performance, targeted lead generation, and sustained growth for our diverse international clients, solidifying Resulta’s reputation as a leader in lead generation for affiliate websites.
In 2023, I proudly launched my first book, Email Marketing Strategy Domination. This comprehensive guide empowers marketers and business owners to build direct connections with their audiences by leveraging the power of email marketing—free from algorithmic interference. The book is available through prominent retailers such as Amazon, Indigo, and Harvard Book Store. In December 2023, it quickly gained recognition as Amazon’s #2 Most Gifted in Business.
2024 was a year of significant achievements. I published my second book, The Engagement Code – How Gamification Can Boost Your Marketing Results, and took on a new challenge—leading the launch of a nonprofit startup dedicated to funding life-saving projects in Israel. In our first fiscal year, we exceeded our goal, raising $1.5 million. Our initiatives provided medical equipment, rescue vehicles, and mental health support for Israeli children affected by the war following October 7, 2023.
Throughout my career, I have been driven by the belief that marketing is about creating meaningful connections and making a lasting impact. Whether leading teams, managing global campaigns, or driving growth through innovative strategies, I remain passionate about helping brands succeed and connect with their audiences in impactful ways.
