What Big Wave Media does

Big Wave Media is a Brazilian creative agency founded in 2016 and headquartered in São Paulo, operating with 11-50 employees. The firm offers an integrated portfolio of branding, marketing, social media management, event production, design, video, and web/application development services, targeting both enterprise clients (Samsung, FedEx, SulAmerica, Faber-Castell) and SMB customers (Holy Burger, Paca) across at least 10 distinct industries. It has also launched an educational product line (Courses and Resources) and a proprietary annual event ("Big Wave Media Inside 2026"), signaling a gradual evolution from pure project-based services toward hybrid product and community offerings. The business model is professional services: project-based, quote-driven engagements sourced through direct sales, case-study-driven website marketing, Instagram presence, and client referrals. There is no disclosed pricing, no API/SDK, no proprietary technology platform, and no public funding, with revenue undisclosed and the company remaining privately held and founder-operated. Distribution is domestic (Brazil) with no evidence of international expansion.
