Trade marketing and field operations agency serving consumer brands across Colombia
Mercadeo Efectivo operates a hybrid advertising and logistics business serving consumer brands through trade marketing, shopper activation, and on-ground field staffing. The tech stack—SAP ECC, Salesforce, SQL Server, Azure cloud, plus Hadoop and Hive—suggests a back-office focus on inventory, sales pipeline, and data warehousing rather than modern ad-tech. Hiring is accelerating (15 roles in 30 days) with a 5:1 sales-to-engineering ratio, indicating growth is operationally driven; pain points cluster around point-of-sale coverage, inventory management, and staffing gaps—challenges typical of high-touch field execution businesses.
Mercadeo Efectivo is a Colombian marketing agency founded in 2004, headquartered in Bogotá, with 51–200 employees. The company serves mid-to-large consumer brands through trade marketing campaigns, shopper marketing programs, below-the-line (BTL) activations, influencer partnerships, and field personnel logistics. Core offerings include brand activations at retail events, sell-in/sell-out merchandising support, and customer activation initiatives. The business operates a dual model: creative campaign design paired with on-ground execution and staffing operations. Revenue-scaling challenges center on adequate retail coverage, correct execution of brand standards across dispersed locations, and managing contingency staffing gaps.
Primary stack includes SAP ECC for operations, Salesforce for sales pipeline, SQL Server for databases, and Azure cloud infrastructure. They also use Hadoop and Hive for data processing, Git for version control, and Excel for reporting.
Active projects include brand activations for consumer goods, sell-in/sell-out merchandising programs, customer activation initiatives, and backend work on ETL job development and real-time job automation for field operations.
