About Me
I'm Guilherme Guedes
Brazilian portuguese name:
ghee-LLEHR-may, GHE-days
From 2010 to 2012 I worked for the Brazil's World Cup 2014 through a Brazilian Government branch (Senac Minas). Lot's of projects, analysis, marketing and branding there.
I also taught Public Policy 2 years before that at PUC Minas Virtual for 2 years as an intern. This solidified my passion for analysis and scenario building.
I got hired by Marcaria.com as a Domains Account Executive and Customer Relationship Manager. I stayed there for 2 years before going back to Brazil.
I got some really good qualifications while working there, which helped me get the Customer Relationship Manager position and helped the company achieving 2 Stevie's Awards. They were both 3rd places (globally) in "Best Customer Department" and "Best Use of Technology for a Customer Department". That's when my love for technology met the Marketing and Customer Experience world.
Amongst other businesses, I had this startup: Esttima. We built hardware technology to find and recover lost dogs and cats.
I won a startup marathon-style contest with 1,000+ startups, got invested and broke the company about a year later.
I did not see Brazil's President Dilma Roussef impeachment coming nor protected my business from money exchange fluctuations. When the U.S. Dollar doubled its value per each Brazilian Real in a week, I got in trouble: my equipment parts were bought in Switzerland and China, which made my product cost me as twice as it was just a week before. Had to deliver what I promised then shut down and move on.
After my startup went bankrupt, I went back to Chile.
Went to Chile in december 2016 and in january 2017 I was ahead of the the Marketing department at the recently opened GreenTi Agency. That's when I fell in love with HubSpot and made the Agency become HubSpot Partner by september 2017. We almost won the Rookie of The Year award (we were in the 1st place for a long time) and I was leading the marketing efforts for clientes such as Cabify, BBVinos, La Feria Chilena del Libro, Hogar de Cristo and a lot more big national and international accounts.
Moving on and evolving
GreenTi was getting big (we grew from 6 employees to around 40 in less than 2 years) and I was doing less marketing and more bureaucracy.
Opened GNS Group with 2 friends in 2019. Another set of great national clients again and one of our partners went his way so Javiera and I changed the name of the agency to OK.Lab in 2020. We are still providing high quality marketing services since then.
I personally got a new client, Lipigas, the biggest gas company in Chile.
Since 2020 I have been working with Lipigas and in 2022 they offered me a full-time job while keeping my agency OK.Lab running. It was a no brainer, and these 3+ years as the compay's Paid Media Specialist in a huge company, with huge budgets and aggressive goals thought me a lot, specially about Branding and growth.
I would love to put your business name in this section along with a real success case.
Are you willing to take the next step? We won't go anywhere else but up, I promise.
