The agency brings over 22 years of experience in developing strategies and projects for accounting, financial, procurement, IT, collections, and human resources teams. Drawing on a deep background in corporate finance and commercial real estate—including key roles at Cimenta and Grupo Marina, where the founder participated in major mall developments such as Mall Marina Arauco, Mall Calama, Mall Curicó, Boulevard Marina, and Mall del Centro Concepción—Tester offers a uniquely grounded perspective on business communications. This blend of hands-on financial management and strategic communications makes the agency a practical partner for organizations navigating complex stakeholder landscapes in Chile and beyond.

Core Expertise and Services

Tester focuses on aligning communications with business objectives, particularly in sectors where precision and credibility are paramount. The agency’s services are designed to support organizations through financial communications, corporate reputation management, and stakeholder engagement. While specific service offerings are not exhaustively listed, based on the founder’s extensive background in finance, real estate, and cross-functional team leadership, the likely capabilities include:

• Financial communications and investor relations
• Corporate storytelling and executive thought leadership
• Internal communications for finance, IT, and HR teams

These services are rooted in a practical understanding of how financial data, operational realities, and human factors intersect. Tester’s approach is not about flashy campaigns but about building trust through clarity, consistency, and measurable outcomes.

Industries and Client Focus

The agency primarily serves clients in the commercial real estate, retail, and financial services sectors, though its expertise extends to any organization requiring sophisticated communications around complex transactions or operational changes. Tester’s experience with Grupo Marina—a company managing shopping centers owned by Ripley and Parque Arauco—gives it particular insight into the challenges of multi-stakeholder environments, where communications must satisfy investors, tenants, employees, and the public simultaneously. This makes Tester a strong choice for mid-to-large enterprises undergoing expansion, restructuring, or public market engagement. The agency also works with accounting firms, financial institutions, and technology providers that need to translate technical concepts into accessible narratives for non-specialist audiences.

Strategic Approach and Philosophy

Tester’s methodology is defined by a belief that effective communications start with a thorough understanding of the business itself. The founder’s own career—progressing from treasury roles at Cimenta to senior finance leadership at Grupo Marina—illustrates a commitment to deep operational knowledge. Rather than offering generic PR templates, Tester tailors each engagement to the client’s specific financial and strategic context. This often involves close collaboration with CFOs, CIOs, and HR directors to ensure that messaging aligns with corporate governance, regulatory requirements, and long-term goals. The agency emphasizes transparency and results, measuring success not just by media coverage but by improved stakeholder confidence and business outcomes.

Who Tester Is Best Suited For

Tester is an ideal partner for companies in , , that value substance over style in their communications. Organizations facing major announcements—such as a new development, a financial restructuring, or a leadership transition—will benefit from the agency’s ability to craft precise, credible narratives. Similarly, firms in the commercial real estate and retail sectors seeking to strengthen their reputation with investors, partners, or the public will find Tester’s experience directly applicable. The agency is also a good fit for professional services firms (accounting, legal, IT) that need to communicate complex ideas clearly and build thought leadership in their fields. While Tester may not be the right choice for consumer brands seeking broad lifestyle PR, its focused, business-to-business approach delivers tangible value for clients who prioritize accuracy, trust, and strategic alignment.
