WSI Opens a Master Franchise Office in São Paulo

Toronto, Canada, December 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Businesses in Brazil will have the opportunity to leverage WSI’s advanced digital marketing strategies with the recent opening of the company’s Master Franchise office in the region of São Paulo State. WSI’s 10th Master Franchise office, which is located in Araraquara, will be operated by Marcelo Cruz, who will lead the day-to-day activities of the Master Franchise office. Marcelo Cruz along with his wife and business partner, Claudia Rossi Cruz, and his manager, Murilo Malta, will operate the Franchise Unit as well.

Aside from developing a network of single unit franchisees (WSI Digital Marketing Consultants) in Brazil, Marcelo Cruz’s office will be responsible for providing ongoing training and support programs to help these new franchisees succeed, working in a partnership with the Brazilian Master Franchisee located in the city of São Paulo. The goal of this initiative is to build WSI’s presence in the region and provide local businesses with advanced digital marketing services, including Internet advertising, lead generation, search engine marketing, social media optimization, content marketing and brand reputation management.

Marcelo Cruz, WSI Master Franchisee for São Paulo State working with his wife Claudia, says, “We are very excited about this new opportunity, and we see it as a great chance to increase our businesses in this incredibly fast-growing industry of digital marketing consulting. We are very proud to represent WSI as a Master Franchisee and feel honored to receive this opportunity to help cultivate the WSI brand in our region. I see great potential for expanding the WSI business opportunity to aspiring entrepreneurs in Brazil. Our organization’s main focus is to develop a strong community of WSI Digital Marketing Consultants like myself and train them to deliver proven online marketing strategies to local businesses. With the opening of more Internet consulting offices in São Paulo State, businesses will have more access to online marketing services, such as conversion-focused web solutions, search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, social media marketing, as well as other digital marketing services, such as Smartphone solutions, another growing industry that is being developed and shows incredible potential.”

Launched in November 2008, WSI’s Master Franchise program is aimed to help expand WSI’s leading edge digital marketing services to businesses around the world. In addition to Brazil, WSI also has Master Franchise offices located in the Baltics, Cyprus, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Portugal, Spain and Central Spain. WSI is actively seeking compelling, entrepreneurial-spirited individuals for its Master Franchise opportunity, and only those with a knack for sales, marketing and helping local businesses increase profitability will be considered.
