Vitor Peçanha, co-founder of Rock Content, has become one of the biggest references in the Brazilian digital marketing market.

UBER

UBER has taught us well how to create products and services that make a difference in people’s lives. More than making money, brands should seek to add value and provide the best possible experience for users.

Moreover, it has made it possible to reduce bureaucracy for drivers and to open employment opportunities for millions of people around the world.

Spotify

Spotify is another example of an enterprise that has innovated and brought an unprecedented experience to customers. Consuming music with the application has become much easier: by paying a monthly amount, you can listen to a multitude of artists, albums and tracks.

Spotify works with three pillars. The first one is to put the user first. The second is to analyze the user’s experience. The third is the context, analyzing the right music for each person at each moment of his or her day.

The care with users has made it the world’s largest brand in the distribution of streaming music.
