Elevating Local Businesses with Strategy and Heart

With over 20 years of sales and marketing expertise, Renan and his team focus on tailored strategies designed to help businesses scale and stand out. They cater exclusively to companies ready to compete at the highest level, offering solutions that drive growth while lightening their clients' workloads.

A standout service is their custom website design and development, completed in just four weeks. SOZO’s consultative approach includes in-depth discussions, market research, and even attending sales pitches to deeply understand a client’s brand. Their branding services, which include crafting logos, color palettes, and brand guidelines, have a 100% track record of zero revisions—a testament to their attention to detail and client collaboration.

SOZO’s commitment to personalized service sets them apart. Unlike many agencies, they don’t outsource—every project is handled by their locally based, in-house team.

Their entrepreneurial culture fosters constant innovation, while their faith-driven values keep them grounded, resilient, and focused on building meaningful client relationships.

Beyond websites and branding, SOZO offers a comprehensive suite of services, including social media management, SEO, pay-per-click campaigns, email marketing, and more. As an official HubSpot partner, they streamline operations with CRM system integration, helping clients manage growth and high lead volumes seamlessly.

Renan’s passion for entrepreneurship, rooted in his upbringing with entrepreneurial parents, drives SOZO’s mission. “We’re here to take the load off our clients and help them grow—not just financially but operationally,” he shares. Guided by an entrepreneurial spirit and a faith-driven culture, the SOZO team innovates while staying resilient through challenges.
