Man Space. 30 new clients in the first month with the help of social content and Meta Ads.
Before deciding what to do
Each project began with a different objective.
At Man Space, the objective was to introduce a new barbershop through its founder’s story. At Focus and Academia Workout, the objectives were to create consistent demand and a clearer digital experience.
See how I approached each objectiveReal cases
The work did not begin by choosing a format. It began by identifying the value that the right people could not yet see.
It had a strong story, but had not yet turned it into a reason to visit the barbershop.
Focus needed to build trust and create demand consistently. Academia needed a website that clearly presented the venue and the next step.

Case study
First, make the value visible
When Man Space approached me, I already knew Patrick, the barbershop’s founder and owner, and the journey that gave the project its meaning. Instead of starting with a generic campaign, I began by telling the story that already made Man Space different.
Social content and Meta Ads helped Man Space add 30 new clients in the first month.
My role connected the story to the result: creative direction, filming, editing, social media management and Meta Ads.
Case study · Focus + Academia
Focus Jiu Jitsu HQ and Academia Workout
At Focus Jiu Jitsu HQ, I manage Instagram, create content and run the Meta Ads campaigns. Together, this work has consistently helped Focus gain more than 15 new memberships per month.
Focus Jiu Jitsu HQ and Academia Workout share the same venue in Matosinhos. Focus is the jiu-jitsu academy upstairs, while Academia Workout is the gym downstairs. For Academia, I created the website that presents the venue and makes the next step clear.Message me on WhatsApp about consistent demandOne space. Two brands.ACADEMIA AND FOCUS
How the work is divided
Continuation of the Focus + Academia case study
From demand to decision
I created a website that translates the scale and energy of Academia Workout into a fast, clear digital experience. For someone arriving online, the next step cannot create doubt.
I led the project from planning to launch: strategy, content structure, UX/UI and responsive development.

Select an area to reveal the work
Before choosing a tool, I identify what needs to change: value that is not being recognised, attention that is not creating demand or processes that are consuming time. Only then do I decide whether the answer is content, campaigns or a digital product.
When the brand’s value is not yet understood, I find the story and angle that make it clear and distinctive.
When attention exists but action does not follow, I connect content and campaigns to measurable actions that bring the right people closer to the business.
