What Nerdweb does

Nerdweb is a full-service digital marketing agency headquartered in Pinhais (Curitiba region), Paraná, Brazil. Founded in 2012 by the Trauer siblings—Fran (CEO), Tim (Director of UI), and Bruna (Director of Marketing)—the company operates under the legal entity EXTREME HOSTING SERVIÇOS DE INTERNET LTDA and evolved from an earlier web hosting venture called Extreme Hosting. The agency delivers 11 distinct service lines spanning website development, e-commerce, social media management, TV campaigns, inbound marketing, online media buying, digital campaigns, influencer marketing, 360-degree integrated campaigns, e-commerce media, and landing pages, sold on a custom-quote, multi-year professional services basis via direct consultative engagement (email, WhatsApp, video conferencing). Its claimed technology stack includes AI-powered campaign personalization, CRM-integrated marketing automation, and AR/VR integration capabilities, and the company asserts compliance with both Brazil's LGPD and the EU's GDPR. Nerdweb serves a hybrid mix of liberal professionals, small-to-medium businesses, e-commerce operators, and large enterprises; its enterprise logo wall includes KPMG, Positivo, Philco, Britania, Indústrias Condor, MedPrev, Toyama, and Infinix, while the most prominent international brands (Microsoft, Unilever, Google, Samsung, Coca-Cola, TIM, Grupo Pão de Açúcar, PepsiCo) are tied to the founders' prior work at Grupo NZN rather than current Nerdweb engagements. The business is privately held, family-owned, bootstrapped, and reports no external funding or acquisitions, with firmographic data indicating a 101-250 employee band though only approximately 10 team members are publicly listed.
