Rafael Mercedes · Freelancer · Based in Stockholm · Working worldwide
I'm Rafael, a freelance performance marketing consultant with 13 years in digital marketing. I help founders, marketing managers and growth teams plan, run and improve paid campaigns, working directly in your accounts and alongside your team.
Areyto Media is a boutique performance marketing consultancy based in Stockholm, working with founders, marketing managers and growth teams worldwide. It covers paid acquisition from strategy to day-to-day execution: app user acquisition, paid social, search, programmatic and influencer campaigns.
Behind Areyto Media is me, Rafael Mercedes, with 13 years of hands-on and strategic work across client-side teams like Wooga, Scandic Hotels and Yousician and agencies like Publicis Groupe, dentsu and WPP Media. There are no account managers or junior teams in between. You work directly with me, from the first call to the campaigns in your accounts.
Areyto takes its name from a Taíno ceremony that brought people together through song, dance and storytelling to pass on history and knowledge. That spirit of knowledge sharing is the idea behind Areyto: unfiltered performance marketing from someone who's done the work. Clear opinions, plain language and decisions grounded in the data.
