Strategic work, shown without breaking confidentiality.
Anonymized case studies showing how Michelangelo Simonte approaches growth, agency transformation, retail media, AI and partnerships.
Agency Growth
A connected approach to positioning, service productization, new business and commercial operating discipline.
Evidence boundary: These public materials demonstrate the method and point of view. They do not disclose client identities or imply audited client results.
International Expansion
A hypothesis-led approach to market selection, entry models, local partnerships and repeatable cross-market delivery.
Evidence boundary: The readiness framework supports a go or no-go decision; it is not a promise that every agency should expand or that every market will work.
AI Recommendation & Discovery
A practical system for making expertise legible, useful and supportable when AI systems assemble recommendations.
Evidence boundary: No consultant can guarantee inclusion or ranking in an AI answer. The public framework focuses on legitimate discoverability, evidence and measurement.
Retail Media, AdTech & Partnerships
A cross-functional perspective connecting platform capability, commercial propositions, partner motions and operating models.
Evidence boundary: Public content demonstrates strategic reasoning and does not reveal confidential platform, employer, partner or client information.
