Who We Are


EST. 2011

Founded in 2011 by Caroline Putnoki, a Frenchwoman from Guyana established in Sao Paulo, Cap Amazon Tropical Marketing® is the fruit of a shared love for travelling, Art de Vivre and a coincidental deep connection with the Amazon rainforest. With strong individual roots in Brasil as well as in North America, France and others countries, all its partners take pride in their open-mindness, adaptability, versatility and capacity to capture the unspoken signs of cultural behaviours. Our inspiration comes from these diverse backgrounds and our taste for traveling, always pursuing new experiences and a fresh perspective on things turned invisible by routine. With a strong experience on travel and art de vivre, and a great partnership with Sopexa, the international Agency 100% dedicated to Food, Drink & Lifestyle, we are still a Boutique Agency, but we are able to offer our services in Brasil and abroad. Shareholders and team members, we are proud to share our values, trust, professionalism, integrity and proactivity, which have consolidated the success of Cap Amazon Tropical Marketing®.

Our Values


Art de Vivre

Existence is a fact, but living is an art. No matter what we are doing, we are passionate about seeking happiness in sharing moments, savoir-faire and stories in simplicity.

Internationally Local

Inspiration is an internal as well as an external process. We believe an agency needs deep local roots to function, but inspiration needs diversity and having our views challenged to function.
