Strategic communication. Content with purpose.

I’m Margella Furtado, a journalist, public relations professional, and senior copywriter. For over ten years, I’ve worked in communications, developing narratives for brands, professionals, and organizations across different industries.

My work goes beyond finding the right words. It starts with understanding what needs to be communicated, who needs to hear it, and why it matters. I turn ideas, specialized knowledge, and business goals into content that helps brands communicate with clarity, relevance, and consistency.

I believe effective communication isn’t about showing up all the time. It’s about knowing what to say, why it matters, and how to build a presence that reflects who you are.

Where I come from

Margella in a brown shirt, thoughtful, her hand on her face.

Long before I worked in communications, I was curious about how people learn, express themselves, and make sense of the world. As a child, I used to play at being a teacher. Later, journalism and public relations gave me ways to turn that curiosity into a profession.

At university, thinkers such as Paulo Freire and Marshall McLuhan expanded my understanding of education, communication, and the ways we relate to the world around us.

My journey has also taught me that communication requires more than technical skill. It calls for listening, context, and an awareness of who gets to speak and who still has to fight for space.

I’m a Black woman from Brazil’s Northeast, and my background shapes how I see work, identity, and visibility. Perhaps that’s why I believe communication shouldn’t force anyone into a formula. It should help people and brands find their own way of taking up space.

What sets me apart

Margella in a brown shirt, adjusting her glasses and smiling.

Commitment to deadlines. I am a focused professional, committed to my clients’ deadlines.

I love what I do. I love what I do, and that makes all the difference in the work I deliver.

Always studying. I have two degrees and an international certification, and I keep studying to improve my strategies and my clients’.

I work with the truth. That is why my content, and my clients’, feels human.

And I write in Portuguese and in English.
