After all, is marketing strategy built on data and scientific rigor, or is it driven by creativity and intuition? Or is it the combination of both that makes the difference?

At a time when brands are facing contexts of accelerated change, it is essential to reflect on the true role of strategy. It is at this crossroads between Science and art that the success (or failure) of many marketing decisions is at stake.

    DUAL UP CONSULTING - MARKETING DIRECTOR AND CONSULTANT

    As Marketing Director at DualUp Consulting, I work with multidisciplinary teams to create strategies that drive brands and results. At the same time, I am a consultant specializing in Portuguese and European incentives, and I help companies find funding for their research and development, innovation, internationalization or digital and green transition projects.

    As the founder of IUPI Agency, a creative agency focused on purposeful communication, I develop my activity in the area of communication and digital marketing coordinating a multidisciplinary team specialized in the areas of communication and Digital Marketing.

    I have also had a strong involvement in academia, working as a professor of Digital Marketing at IPAM, at the Polytechnic Institute of Portalegre and at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra, where I share real experiences with present and future professionals.

    I believe that knowledge only makes sense when it is shared — and that technology, especially artificial intelligence, is transforming the way we live, learn and work."
