A small studio with a long table.

Diogo Lopes Kotscho

Diogo runs Kotscho Marketing out of an Orlando studio, after a decade of consumer-brand and growth work split between São Paulo and the U.S. South. The studio takes on a deliberate handful of engagements at a time and works in two languages, on purpose.

The practice was registered in Florida in September 2022. It has grown by referral, and the work has stayed close to founder-led teams in hospitality, lifestyle, and cross-border consumer brands.

Principles

Eight things we keep insisting on. Most of them are about saying less.

— 01

Operators in the room

Brand decisions have to survive the line. We bring the floor manager into the third meeting, not the eleventh.

— 02

Two languages, one voice

A bilingual brand is not a translated brand. We write fresh in EN and PT and let the campaign decide which one travels.

— 03

Margin before media

No paid plan ships before we've agreed on the contribution margin we're working toward. It changes the brief.

— 04

One handoff, not three

The same people who set the strategy ship the work. We don't move briefs across departments because we don't have any.

— 05

Quiet design

We trust restraint. A brand that whispers in the right rooms beats a brand that shouts in all of them.

— 06

Earn the next quarter

Retainers don't auto-renew. At week eleven, we write a real recommendation and let the client decide.

— 07

Local proof, real numbers

Case studies show actual outcomes the client can repeat back. We don't build vanity dashboards.

— 08

Decline early, gladly

We say no to roughly two engagements for every one we take. Better for both sides than to start a project we shouldn't.

Bench

A rotating cast of senior collaborators we bring in for the right brief. We are not a thirty-person agency in disguise; the studio team is small and the bench is honest.
