About Claudia & bridge2MORE
I know how frustrating marketing can be
I started Bridge2More because I was tired of watching entrepreneurs spin their wheels, drowning in advice that never really fit.
What you need isn’t another cookie-cutter fix. You need someone who actually sees you and your business –your strengths, your blind spots- and helps you build from there. Not scrap everything and start from zero.
That’s what I do now: bring clarity, a workable structure, and marketing that finally feels like yours.
Why clarity matters
Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they’re exhausted, chasing trends, copying tactics, and losing sight of what actually works for them.
Marketing is a long game. If your strategy doesn’t fit you, it won’t last. I help you find the gaps, close them, and create a path you can actually stick with.
What you can expect from working with me
No sugarcoating
I’ll tell you what matters and what doesn’t. My clients value me for being clear and direct, because pretending doesn’t move your business forward.
Clarity before tactics
I see patterns fast and translate them into practical steps. You’ll leave with fewer decisions and more focus, not another pile of tasks.
Real-world perspective
I’m not just a strategist with degrees. I’ve built and run businesses myself. That means I know the highs, the headaches, and the shortcuts -and I won’t ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do.
Human and practical
You’ll find me approachable, calm, and steady. Coffee, cats, and chocolate keep me grounded, but what keeps me sharp is helping clients untangle confusion and find the straightest path forward.
Experience you can trust
I’ve been an entrepreneur from the start. While at university in Caracas, I designed, printed and sold t-shirts with matching earrings. In Curaçao, I ran vacation apartments. And since 2011, I’ve worked as a marketing consultant for entrepreneurs across sectors and borders.
Add to that a BA in Communications, a Master’s in SME Marketing, and over 35 years of experience across corporate, consulting, and running my own ventures -from the oil industry in Venezuela to small businesses in Italy, NGO’s the Netherlands, and now Portugal. I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and why.
Who am I beyond marketing
I was born in Venezuela to Dutch parents. Spanish at school, Dutch at home, English with international friends. Later came Italian and Portuguese. My career took me from Caracas to Curaçao, the U.S., Italy, the Netherlands, and now the Algarve.
That mix of cultures taught me to listen well, adapt fast, and see patterns others miss.
