Homeless Entrepreneur needed a cohesive brand identity to amplify its mission of reintegrating homeless people into the job market.
I led a three-day workshop in Barcelona using The Soul Before methodology to redefine the organization’s positioning.
Together, we clarified its core mission, developed a powerful narrative, and structured its communication pillars.
In partnership with Drummer.pt, from Lisbon (click the video to see Drummer’s case study), we turned this strategy into a new visual identity, tone of voice, and brand message — shifting the focus from charity to empowerment and inclusion.
The new brand gave Homeless Entrepreneur a stronger voice, enhancing its ability to engage partners and expand its reach as an agent of social transformation.

Karen, a maternal and child nutritionist, needed a distinctive brand repositioning that would clearly set her apart from competitors.
Through The Soul Before method, we developed the concept that nutrition is a family challenge, inspired by the Australian animated series Bluey.
This positioning guided the creation of a new brand message, logo, and communication strategy — making her presence more engaging, relatable, and emotionally connected to her audience.
The “new Karen” led to higher engagement, continuous audience growth, and a fully booked schedule — with appointments filled three months in advance.
A market leader in real estate in Campina Grande (Brazil), Andrade Marinho LMF lacked a clear identity and an authentic emotional connection with its clients — despite its strong dominance in the local market.
During a one-week immersion, I redefined the brand’s positioning: Andrade Marinho LMF doesn’t sell houses or apartments — it sells life in fullness.
Every experience and every service offered became an opportunity to transform Campina Grande into a more human city, focused on community and well-being.
From this vision, two key initiatives were born:
With this new strategic focus, Andrade Marinho LMF began to deliver more than real estate — it started creating opportunities for people to live the best of their lives.
