Why Localize to Brazil?

If you want to expand your brand globally, you should look into markets full of opportunities. Brazil can be just that. Let me show you why.

One of the Biggest Markets in the World

Brazil’s economy is one of the largest, with over 200 million people buying, gaming, learning, and moving money around.

160M+ internet users

Brazil has the largest online community in all of Latin America. If you don’t speak the language (both literally and culturally) you're missing out on millions of potential customers.

$2+ trillion GDP

Brazil’s economy consistently ranks in the global top ten. Its massive internal market gives international companies a unique opportunity: you don’t need to “expand across Latin America” to scale. You can grow just by being present in Brazil.

17% e-commerce yearly growth

Online shopping is becoming the norm in Brazil. We’re eager to explore new international brands that are localized, serious, and trustworthy.

Fintech on fire

Pix is an instant payment method created in 2020 that has quickly become the preferred way for all Brazilians to pay for everything, from rent to snacks. It processes trillions in BRL yearly.

This is a market to prioritize.

We're dealing with a country that left checks behind and went straight to creating its own form of instant payments. It’s a place where consumers expect fast, online experiences.

Tech & SaaS

Smartphones are now starting a symbiotic relation with Brazilians, and businesses should take that into account.

E-commerce & Retail

The #1 biggest online shopping audience in Latin America.

Gaming

Over 100 million active gamers, mostly mobile-focused.

Fintech & Crypto

Pix is only the beginning. New payment methods and crypto are everywhere.

E-learning

Remote upskilling courses are on the rise in Brazil.

Adapting to the Brazilian Market

Relying on Google Translate or ChatGPT and hoping for the best won’t help you grow here. Brazilians need to few connected to your brand, and to make that happen you'll need to speak the language, linguistically and (especially) culturally.

Take payments, for example:

Payment Method	Market Share	What You Need to Know
Credit Cards	45%	Most purchases are split into monthly installments
Pix (Instant Payments)	30%	Used everywhere, especially for fast, mobile purchases
Boleto Bancário	15%	Used mainly by people who don’t own cards or bank accounts (or are more strict about their privacy)
Digital Wallets	8%	Growing fast among younger users
Others	2%	Cash, bank transfers, and more

Brazilian shoppers expect flexibility. If you don't offer local methods, you're leaving money on the table.

So... Why Work with Klearion?

Here’s where we come in.

Our method goes way beyong simply “translating” words: we help you build a version of your brand that fits in Brazil, naturally and authentically.

Because:

Brazilian Portuguese isn’t European Portuguese

"Portuguese is Portuguese, right?" Think again.
A literal translation might make your product sound outdated or even confusing.

We make sure your brand sounds natural and engaging to a Brazilian audience.

Humor, tone, and even colors can land differently

A joke that works in Miami might bomb in São Paulo. A minimalist tone might come off cold to Brazilian users who expect a warmer and more expressive voice.

Even your visuals might need a rethink.

I help you adjust your messaging with precision as a native speaker who lives in Brazil.

Your industry has its own language

Every sector has its lingo, its tone, and its taboos. Whether you’re in fintech, education, SaaS, beauty, or legal services, we make sure your content lands — not just linguistically, but functionally.

We’ve helped brands sound local, feel local, and sell better in Brazil by understanding the market and the people who sustain it.

Brazil is a massive market already thriving

Bottom line: Brazil is big and full of opportunities, but it’s also different. And that difference is where we come in, Klearion can help you build a real presence in Brazil and get you results.
