About

Malu Buss at an event

Brazilian by origin, global by intent.

For four years I led the social media of Thiago Finch, one of the biggest names in digital marketing in Brazil. On LinkedIn his profile grew from under 5K to more than 50K followers. On TikTok and YouTube we started from zero and reached 500K and 350K. That LinkedIn work also opened the door for Bilhon, his holding company, to be featured in a Philip Kotler book on modern marketing.

Along the way, the work became much bigger than running one account. New clients came in, and I built a team around me with social media, video editing, design and production support. Today I take care of content, communication, positioning and the way a brand presents itself.

What clients come back for is how I work: close contact, care in every detail and a careful curation of everything that goes live. People buy what they perceive about a brand before they buy what it sells, and that perception is what I build.
