About Me
Gilberto JS Pereira
Marketing professional, Digital Intelligence and SEO specialist, with a special focus on Usability, User Experience and Social Media. Born in Porto and with an online presence since 1994, I was one of the founders of the pioneer MindSEO, one of the first portuguese companies (perhaps even the first) dedicated to Optimization of Digital Ecosystems for Search Engines (SEO), having held the role of Director of Operations and Project Manager for over 8 years.
Graduated in Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations, and with a Postgraduate Degree in Marketing from the London School of Design and Marketing, I am also professionally certified in UX Design and Project Management, by Google, Inbound and Social Media Marketing, by Hubspot and professional certificate in Microsoft Bing Ads and Google Ads.
Over the last few years, I have worked daily with several organisations with a national and international presence, in different areas of activity, notably: WD-40, Vodafone, Schneider Electric, Century21, MediaCapital, Impresa, Futebol Clube do Porto, KuantoKusta, Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Universidade Católica, among others.
Here are some of the brands I have worked with
A wonderfull life
College. What am I doing here?
Industrial engineering and Management. For a guy that always struggled with math and physics, these were challenging years. Until I said "enough".
Math and Physics are behind. The course is not fascinating anymore. I leave college and search for my first job. Carpentry. Like my grandfather. With my grandfather. A life-changing experience.
I want more. More than breathing saw dust and carrying planks of wood and tools all day. Work by day, study by night: Public relations and Advertising (no math!)
Going abroad? Why not?The challenge of working in the USA presents itself! Excitement. Another pause on college. But a more close to home challenge emerges...
The excitement of going to the USA cools down... closer to home I get the oportunity to work at a travel agency: Aerosoltur, Viagens e Turismo. Let's go.
Graduate? Why not? I don't like to leave things undone. Back to College! The course was revamped and now it's "Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations". 2 more years, working by day, studying by night. Finally: the Diploma!
(It's sad to know now that this university as closed after graduating so many excellent professionals).
It's December 8, of course!
Married the love of my life. Packed everything we had and nested in the beautiful, seaside town of Esmoriz.
Happiness overflows our hearts. Lara came into our lives and settled in our hearts for ever and ever. Welcome, my daughter, Lara.
Those "some things online" were paying off! It couldn't just be a hobby anymore.
We counted every cent and registered as a company: MindSEO Lda.
I start part-time, between Aerosoltur and MindSEO.
The "part-time" is no longer viable. There's a choice to be made and the result is obvious: I take on the fulltime job at MindSEO. Operations Director, Project Manager, Financial Manager.
The team grows. The clients keep coming. We head on growing.
Take on a Masters Degree 100% online at the London School of Design and Marketing? ok!
Things are going great but body and mind take their toll. We all have our limits... mine were here! I burned down... ended up with a PG Diploma and a much needed rest.
I can't resist a good challenge. And Global News was a good challenge. A news portal needing to grow. Needing to improve their web presence, get more viewers.
I toke on the challenge and to this day I keep my role as a journalist, collaborator and with an not-so-regular opinion column.
My son. Dinis. The name of a King, for the one that will rule our hearts. Our son is born. Life continues to be beautiful.
A simple (not so simple) headache throws me to the hospital bed. Subdural Hematomas. Two! Life upside down. Brain Surgery!
Recovery is slow...
Returning to work was hard! As fast as the "investment group" entered MindSEO Capital, as faster they left! Decisions for the future of MindSEO had to be made, and divergencies were inevitable. My recent "talking to God" experience brought me a new vision of all things. Time to say goodbye to MindSEO.
Official launch: Ecossistemas Digitais. A collaborative and multidisciplinar marketing agency, with the mission of transporting companies to a digital world in a simple, organised, and successful manner.
