Our DNA

More Bastards than Consultants
(And we're proud of it)

If you're looking for a bunch of suits who nod along while you present Excel charts and then send you an invoice the size of a small car for telling you what you already knew... keep looking. Seriously, there are thousands of them. You'll get along great.

We're different. We think of ourselves less as consultants and more as those trench buddies you'd share your last bullet with (or your last brilliant idea, which is sometimes the same thing). We get into your "war room" not to serve coffee, but to load the cannons alongside you.

Why? Because your success is our goddamn success. We're not into the "deliver and disappear" routine. We obsess over seeing our strategies (the ones some might call "insane" until they see the numbers) dismember your competition and make you the talk (in a good way) of your industry.

This isn't a consultancy. It's a conspiracy to dominate the market. And you're invited to be the kingpin.

Mauricio Borda - Creative Director
Mauricio Borda

Meet our Creative Chief Officer / CEO

Founder & Chief Creative Officer | Ex-Ogilvy Strategist | AI Brand Instigator

Mauricio doesn't just lead Bustards; he injects its core DNA: equal parts deep human insight and unapologetic technological ambition. As Founder & CCO, he champions the "Human driven, tech enhanced" approach, ensuring our strategies dig deeper than competitors dare and our creative leverages AI not as a gimmick, but as a strategic weapon.

With a background steeped in Ogilvy's strategic battlegrounds (including managing the complex Alicorp portfolio) and the scrappy reality of launching three distinct ventures (Bustards, production, tech startup), Mauricio understands what truly moves the needle. His international experience across the Americas fuels a perspective focused on one thing: relentless execution ("Creativity is key, execution is all") that translates into award-winning work (D&AD, Cannes, El Ojo) and, more importantly, market dominance for our clients.

Pedro Ponte - Planning Director
Pedro R. Ponte

Meet our Planning Director.

Director of Strategic & Creative Planning | Ex-Wunderman | Global Brands Strategist

Pedro R. Ponte is the architect behind our sharpest strategies and the driving force ensuring Bustards' bold creativity always stems from potent human insights and bulletproof plans. As our Director of Strategic & Creative Planning, he is the crucial link between a deep understanding of consumer behavior and the creative spark that ignites memorable campaigns.

His journey is an alchemy forged in the fire of top-tier agencies like Wunderman and Momentum (as a Senior Copywriter and Creative Supervisor) and sharpened through years as an independent Creative Planner, where he developed strategies for global brands of the caliber of Honda and Pernod Ricard (Absolut, etc.) and collaborated with leading agencies. Pedro doesn't just understand how to talk to people; he understands why people listen, and he translates that market complexity into the strategic clarity that drives the brilliant execution and hard-hitting results that define Bustards.

About Us

So, You're Wondering About Us?
(Bless Your Curious Heart)

Experts in Brand Communication, Globally.

Alright, let's cut the corporate fluff. You want to know who the hell Bustards are? We're the remote creative agency that actually gets the global market – not because we read a pamphlet, but because we've been in the trenches, from back alleys in Bolivia to boardrooms in New York. If you're hunting for 'effective solutions with an international perspective' that don't sound like they were written by a robot with a thesaurus, congratulations, you've found your people.

We're the experts in Brand Communication who believe 'global' isn't just a buzzword; it's a playground. We specialize in taking businesses like yours and giving them an unfair (but totally legal, mostly) advantage through marketing strategies so damn innovative and creative, your competitors will think you've made a pact with some very stylish, slightly unhinged deities. We don't just build brands; we meticulously hack their potential and tune them until they roar. Think of us as the engineers who turn a sensible sedan into a fire-breathing monster truck.

Our team? We've got over 30 years of combined experience in making brands unforgettable (and making our clients look like rockstars). We're not just 'ready to join your team'; we're the reinforcements you call when the status quo needs a good, swift kick in the ass. Forget 'igniting your brand's fire' – we're here to hand you the industrial-grade flamethrower and a detailed schematic of where the competition keeps their marshmallows. Because at Bustards, we don't just create communication that exists; we forge communication that conquers.

Results That Matter

OUR FOOLPROOF METHOD
(WELL, ALMOST FOOLPROOF. WE'RE BRILLIANT, NOT GODS... YET)

Let's be painfully honest: in this business, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors. Vanity metrics that make CEOs feel good for five minutes until they look at the bank account. "Engagement" that doesn't translate into a damn thing.

We care about one thing above all else: that your business GROWS. That you SELL MORE. That you connect with your customers on a level that makes them choose you even if your competition gives away free puppies with every purchase. (Though, if they do, let us know. We have ideas for that too.)

We build "communication that matters" not because it sounds poetic in a PowerPoint presentation (though it does that too), but because communication that truly matters is felt in the wallet. The kind that transforms a brand from "just another one" to "THE ONLY ONE." The kind that creates relationships so strong your customers get your logo tattooed. Okay, maybe not that far, but close.

We're not just creatives: We are engineers of controlled chaos. We are translators between the data world and the real world. Every number makes us stronger.

How do we do it? Discover our 3-phase approach.
Phase 1: X-Ray + Lab
1. PHASE X-RAY + LAB: WE DON'T BELIEVE THE BRIEF

This is where we put on our mad scientist lab coats and our hungover detective sunglasses. We don't just skim the surface; we give your brand, your market, your customers a colonoscopy (with their permission, of course... mostly). We unearth uncomfortable truths, opportunities no one else sees, and sometimes, the odd corpse of a previous failed campaign. As our pocket Sutherland would say: "People don't tell you what they really think, so we have to find out the hard way... or the smart way." It's dirty work, but someone's got to do it before we start firing ideas into the air.

Phase 2: Attack Plan
2. PHASE ATTACK PLAN: CHAOS IS OUR PLAYGROUND

With the intel from Phase 1 in hand (and probably several cups of coffee in us), it's time to design the offensive. This isn't a brainstorming session with pastel-colored Post-it notes. This is guerrilla strategy on steroids. We're looking for the idea that's not just creative, but brutally effective. The one that makes your competition spill their coffee in fright. As Jeremy Clarkson would bellow: "WE DON'T WANT SOMETHING 'NICE', WE WANT SOMETHING THAT KICKS BLOODY ARSE!". We prepare the attack plan, choose the weapons (digital, traditional, or a lethal combination of both), and aim for the jugular.

Phase 3: Action
3. PHASE ACTION: NERDS ON HARLEYS (WITH EXCEL & ATTITUDE).

This is where the rubber meets the road, where words turn into war (commercial war, that is), and where we start to see the fireworks. We execute the plan with military precision and the energy of a rock concert. And no, we don't disappear after launch. We measure. We analyze. We optimize. Because data, my friends, is our favorite snitch for knowing what's working like a charm and what needs a little (or big) tweak.

SOME SHENANIGANS WE'RE PROUD OF
(THE ONES WE CAN LEGALLY SHOW YOU, YOU CURIOUS DEVILS)

Alright, let's talk trophies. Now, a good chunk of our most spectacular, market-bending, 'holy-crap-did-they-really-pull-that-off?' triumphs are wrapped up tighter than a drum in NDAs. You know, legal mumbo-jumbo. We'd love to plaster it all here for your viewing pleasure, but then men in dark suits with expensive briefcases start showing up, and frankly, some of this genius is so potent it might just short-circuit your device. Or your expectations of every other agency, forever.

But here's the good news, you discerning connoisseur of chaos and results: get us in a room (virtual or otherwise, we're flexible like that), maybe ply us with decent coffee or something stronger if the mood strikes , and we'll crack open the vault. We'll give you the unadulterated, behind-the-scenes tour of the kind of strategic wizardry and creative mayhem that has made CEOs weep with joy and competitors consider early retirement.

Until that fateful (and awesome) meeting, feast your eyes on these carefully declassified case studies. Think of them not as a boring portfolio, but as a little taste of our modus operandi – which, in plain English, means 'how we consistently kick ass and make incredible things happen.'

READY TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE
(OR AT LEAST YOUR MARKET SHARE)?
LET'S TALK.

Look, we could put a boring form here. We could promise you a "free, no-obligation consultation" that we both know is the prelude to a 90-minute sales pitch.

But we're Bustards. We do things differently.

If you're the type who:

  • • Believes "good enough" is an insult.
  • • Understands that calculated risk is opportunity's sexy cousin.
  • • Has the guts to want more than an incremental bump in your vanity KPIs.
  • • Isn't afraid of a little brutal honesty if it means achieving greatness.
  • • Suspects your current agency is run by amoebas with Canva access.

Then, hell YES, we want to talk to you. Urgently.

If, on the other hand, you're the type who:

  • • Looks for the cheapest option regardless of quality (Spoiler: that's not us).
  • • Thinks marketing is just putting pretty logos on things.
  • • Gets offended easily or needs constant ego-stroking.
  • • Your favorite phrase is "but we've always done it this way."

With all due respect (well, some respect), we might not be your advertising soulmate. And that's okay. There are plenty of vanilla agencies out there.

Impressed? Horrified? Intrigued? Good. Reach out.
