TO BUILD BRAND VISIBILITY
+ DRIVE BUSINESS FORWARD.

Since 2015, we've represented some of the leading fintech companies in Latin America during a period in time that VC funding of fintechs accounted for about 40 percent of funding in tech startups across the vast, rising market.

As part of Chris Knight's work as U.S. marketing director for Redpoint eventures from 2015 to 2022, he had the pleasure of serving as an early storytelling advisor for the São Paulo, Brazil-headquartered consumer lending giant Creditas. Back when the early-stage startup - now a unicorn - was still called BankFacil, he helped craft and place its first major business story in a U.S. publication: The Wall Street Journal. He continued as an advisor to Creditas through 2020. 

​

For more than three years between 2019 and mid-2023, Divino Group served as both the U.S. editorial bureau of LABS (Latin America Business Stories) - owned by EBANX, and then as the U.S. PR agency of record for global payments giant headquartered in Curitiba, Brazil. That work included global strategic media across Africa, the U.S. and the U.K. (in English), leading executive thought leadership, and refinement and promotion of corporate content including EBANX's annual "Beyond Borders" research reports. 

​

Divino Group was hired by Oyster Financial, a provider of digital financial services for entrepreneurs, startups and SMEs, to raise its visibility to investors in the U.S. and others outside of LatAm. Vilash Poovala, Oyster's CEO and co-founder, had served in similar roles at Clip, a mobile POS provider, PayPal, and Visa - where he was  senior director of products. Oyster was acquired by Yaydoo, a Mexico City-based procurement platform during 2022.
