Hi, I'm Sofia — I help SaaS companies unlock growth by building a discovery engine that puts you in front of more of the right people — and gives them a reason to choose you over competitors.

No commitment. Just a conversation.

TRUSTED BY BOOTSTRAPPED FOUNDERS

Sofia Guimaraes

✦ This is for you if

Your growth has stalled.

You've built something people want. And you know that because you already have customers who love what you do.

But...what's helped you grow so far has stopped working.

The problem: Your buyers are out there, searching.
But they're not finding you. And if they are, they don't know why they should pick you over your competitors.

✦ How we fix it

You've got the product. 
Now let's build the marketing engine to grow it.

I've been doing marketing for more than ten years - mostly in-house, starting in the big corporate world and ending up in bootstrapped SaaS.

Since 2019 I've worked with scrappy budgets and lean teams, building companies from their very early stages.

Here's what I've learnt: most early-stage SaaS businesses are chasing awareness the wrong way. Generic top-of-funnel content doesn't get results anymore. 


Your buyers are already out there - searching, comparing and asking AI what to use. You need to be in those results, and you need to convince them you're the better bet than the names they already know.

That's the gap I close: I make sure you're present where it matters, and that your prospects have reasons to pick you over other known names.

✦ How I work with companies like yours

Two ways I can help unlock your growth

One-off, Clear Direction
Strategy Audit
Best for: you want to unlock growth but don't know how. You're doing marketing without knowing if it's the right marketing, and you need to focus but don't know on what.
What we do
  • Positioning — clearly articulate who you're for and what makes you different from competitors.
  • Buyer & Competitors Analysis — find out where your ICP is, what they search, who they compare you to and AI recommends.
  • Homepage review — reflect your chosen positioning on your homepage.
  • Marketing Strategy — pick the two or three things that actually move the needle for your business, and get clear on what to de-prioritise.
  • A 3-month plan — a custom action plan of what you need to do in the next 3 months to unlock results.

Used data from A/B testing to optimise ads and push media spend on top-performing creatives.

"Sofia has introduced a holistic marketing approach, leading projects like a complete overhaul of our pricing strategy, creating new lead magnets and email courses, and managing various promotional campaigns. Her efforts include organising customer case studies and actively engaging with our community through video calls to produce valuable marketing assets."

"Sofia is the kind of marketer who becomes a key part of your team. She's results-driven, strategic, and relentlessly focused on the end goal. What really sets her apart is how she combines big-picture thinking with genuine creative passion. She's someone who will truly own the marketing."

"Sofia helped us grow faster than the market. What stood out was her ability to combine data and creativity to solve real marketing challenges. She understood our brand deeply and worked across every function to make things happen."

"You'd clearly done your research and that helps give a wider industry perspective and then add weight to the actions. There were multiple actions that I will execute — tailored to early stage start-up but with long term benefits, particularly around engaging with core consumers via WhatsApp. Advice on getting reviews on site to build trust, and testimonials with experts is also spot on — definitely areas where I can make some big steps forward."

✦ Honest about fit

I'm not right
for you if…

I'd rather be upfront about this than waste your time or mine. The best work happens when there's a genuine fit — here's when that isn't us.

01
You want quick results
Foundations take time to build — and that's the point. The results compound over time, but they don't happen overnight. If you need a quick revenue spike, I'm not your person.
02
You want an agency approach
I'm not a team of 12 handing you off to a junior after the sales call. You get one person, deeply invested in your business — that means a different pace, a different relationship, and a different kind of work.
03
You want to hand off and disappear
The best marketing at this stage is founder-led. Your voice, story, and passion are irreplaceable. I genuinely believe founder-led businesses have a critical competitive advantage — humanity, staying close to users. That only works if you're in it with me.
Sound like you? Let's talk.
If you're a founder who's in it for the long game — let's build something that lasts.
