You've got the idea. We bring the strategy, the store, and the fire to scale it.

Caldo, like a good broth, is the base for any great recipe.

We built a 7-figure DTC brand from scratch, then helped others do it too. Strategy, creative direction, and Shopify stores engineered to grow revenue. Not just look good doing it.

How We Cook Brands

1.The Base: Brand Strategy & Visual Id

We don’t believe in branding that’s just a pretty logo. Before design comes direction.

We help you define exactly who your brand is — in a tweet, in a pitch, and in your customer’s mind.

Through strategy, tone of voice and visual identity, we build brands that don’t just look good — they know where they stand, who they speak to, and why they matter. Because clarity is what turns ideas into businesses that last.

2.The Heat: E-commerce, Webdesign & Creative Direction

With the right base, it’s time to turn up the heat.

Your Shopify store is your best salesperson — it works 24/7, never misses a pitch, and scales without hiring. We design and build stores engineered for conversion: fast, on-brand, and built to turn traffic into revenue.

Then we direct your content — photo, video, social — so every touchpoint sells the same story.

Because even the best strategy falls flat if no one knows how to bring it to life.

3. The Flavor: Content, Growth & Digital Consistency

Growth isn't a launch — it's a system.

We keep your brand sharp and your revenue moving with ongoing support across content, CRM, performance media and e-commerce operations.

Most brands plateau not because they stop trying, but because they stop evolving.

Most branding studios don’t understand online business.

01

They’ll hand you a beautiful logo, a trendy font, maybe even a moodboard.

But no roadmap to grow.
You’re left with a pretty brand and no idea how to turn it into sales.

02

We built a 7-figure DTC brand, scaled it across three continents, and learned what actually moves revenue — not just impressions.

03

We know how it feels to build something from scratch. The doubts. The late nights. The “am I doing this right?”

We love helping founders find clarity. Turning chaos into direction.

A little about me

I’m Barbara Mattivy — I founded Insecta, Brazil’s first B Corp-certified eco footwear brand, known for making shoes out of upcycled vintage clothing. I grew the brand across three continents, and today I help independent brands grow with more flavor and less burnout — together with a brilliant team of designers who bring the magic to life.

Big ideas cook better on a low flame.

Launching a brand?
Scaling your store?
Fixing what feels off?
Questioning all your life choices? That's fair too.

Let's chat.
