We run our own businesses.
We know what it costs to grow.

Skin in the Game

We spend our own marketing budget every month on active Colombian businesses. No theory. No agency filler. We only recommend what we would back with our own revenue.

Bicultural by Design

Native EN/ES team. We bridge foreign ambition and the reality of the Colombian market — understanding the expat mindset and how Colombians actually shop, search, and decide.

Ecosystem Leverage

Legal, HR, hospitality, education — one group, zero friction. Your marketing works harder when it is coordinated with the legal and operational layers the Maia group already runs.

These are our own companies. We built these numbers for ourselves first — before ever using them as case studies. That's the Maia difference.

A clear path, from audit to scale.

Audit

We review your entire digital presence — search, social, website, competitors — and show you exactly where the money is leaking. Personalized, specific, actionable.

Free · within 24h

System

We build your growth system: the right channels, clean measurement, and automation where it earns its keep. A 90-day plan with owners and targets — not a wish list.

90-day plan

Scale

We optimize with real data: which campaign produces customers, which content converts, where the next peso should go. Monthly reports a business owner can actually read.

Month to month · no lock-in
We never recommend anything to a client that we haven't first bet our own money on. We are our own first client — and the most demanding.
