How Consultings Company Became Brazil’s First Automattic Partner by Betting on Owned Digital

By WordPress.com Staff on March 31, 2026

Julia and Gianmarco Schiavi founded Consultings Company in Brazil in 2024 with a clear mission: to help businesses build complete digital ecosystems, not just pretty pages.

Social media strategy, CRM automation, brand positioning, WordPress sites — they do it all.

They’re now the first Automattic partners in Latin America and the first in Brazil.

Being an Automattic for Agencies partner allows us to deliver not just websites, but solid digital foundations for our clients. WordPress.com gives us the reliability and structure we need to build long-term digital ecosystems, not just isolated online presences.

Your website is your home. Social media is just a rental.

Julia spends a lot of time convincing clients to invest in their websites. Not because it’s a hard sell, but because the alternative is riskier than most people realize.

When you have a website, you have a strategy. It’s the start of your digital ecosystem.

She’s seen it play out firsthand. A client in Brazil was running her entire business through WhatsApp — no website, just a link in her Instagram bio. Then WhatsApp blocked her account. Everything she’d built there was gone overnight.

She lost everything that she had inside WhatsApp. After that, she finally understood why we told her to build a data center — to capture information about her followers. Because numbers are not clients.

Social media platforms are rented space. You build on someone else’s land, under someone else’s rules. A website is the one digital asset you actually own — and the foundation everything else should grow from.

You need to prepare your home before the visitors come.

WordPress.com is non-negotiable

Julia doesn’t leave hosting up to clients. Every contract Consultings Company signs requires WordPress.com.

Every client that we have — in our contracts, we say that we only build on WordPress.com, because we trust it.

That’s not a hard line for its own sake. It’s how she guarantees the work holds up.

WordPress.com gives her clients the security, support, and stability that make a website worth building in the first place. And as an official Automattic partner, it’s a platform she’s willing to put her name behind with every client she takes on.

Building for people who need it most — with Telex

At a WordPress event in Rio de Janeiro, Consultings Company entered a competition and built an accessibility tool for people who are blind or hearing-impaired.

The most curious part: they did it using Telex, entirely through prompts.

They won.

If you are programming these parts, it’s so hard. And Telex did it just with a prompt.

It’s a good example of what the platform makes possible: not just faster development, but work that would have been out of reach before.

Better tools, same human instinct

Julia uses AI tools across her work — but she’s also watching what’s happening to content because of them.

Two years ago, the trend was using everything with AI. Now, when you do something handmade, it’s more valuable. It’s not an AI thinking — it’s your idea, your way to express.

For her clients, that means the strategy behind the content matters more than ever. Anyone can generate a post. Not everyone can build a presence that connects and sticks.

That’s the work Consultings Company does — and why the website, not the feed, is always where it starts. WordPress.com is the platform they trust to make it last.
