CI&T, the São Paulo-based IT services firm operating across 30+ countries, has appointed a new Senior Vice President of Marketing. The hire arrives as the company scales its go-to-market operations and prepares to compete more visibly against Accenture, Cognizant, and similar tier-one service houses. This is not repositioning. This is infrastructure building.
When a services firm at CI&T's scale (revenue north of $300M, staff exceeding 3,000) elevates marketing to SVP level reporting to the C-suite, the structural implication is clear: brand collateral, client-facing materials, event presence, and identity systems require operational discipline. The new SVP will inherit scattered assets—decks, one-sheets, event materials, environmental design—and will immediately confront the cost and friction of managing them across regions and business units. This window, typically 90 days into a mandate, is when legacy operators commission an audit. Experienced CMOs at comparable houses know the pattern. The appointment signals that CI&T's next 24 months will include a hard look at what they manufacture, how it moves, and who keeps it coherent.
For principals and their chiefs of staff tracking IT services consolidation: this is the moment to note which firms are professionalizing their brand infrastructure. For heritage-house operators and premium event planners: the next 120 days will determine whether CI&T's marketing expansion includes partnerships for curated, identity-aligned collateral and experiences. The SVP hire is the trigger. The identity layer is the work that follows.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.

Beyond our own Virginia Beach floor, we work with a vetted network of craft manufacturers across the US — each meeting the highest excellence in QC standards in the industry, each a specialist in its own discipline — so apparel, hard-goods imprinting, media manufacturing, packaging, and secure printing all go to the bench built for them, coordinated from one accountable hub.
