Long biography
Roberto Cortez is an entrepreneur specialising in AI and automation, online business and online sales. He has worked in digital since 2012. A graduate in International Relations, he began at Webnode in the Czech Republic and worked in agencies, at Jusbrasil and as a freelancer before founding his agency in 2019, now SpartAds.
Throughout his career, he has generated over €5 million in online revenue from his own projects and directly supported more than 1,000 Portuguese businesses through services or close mentoring. His current work centres on SpartAds, providing growth services for service businesses and ecommerce as well as AI and automation, and Laboratório da IA. At the Lab, he leads two mentoring sessions a month on AI and online business and reviews student projects.
He has over 30,000 students and has spoken at more than 50 events. His background includes marketing and business events in Portugal and Brazil, such as Marketing Masters and Afiliados Brasil, alongside sector conferences and gatherings. He created and hosts AdSummit, wrote the Portuguese book “Aprende a vender com Marketing Digital” in 2022, already discussing algorithms and artificial intelligence in advertising, and runs Sextas Ímpares on YouTube, with demonstrations and conversations about AI, automation and business.
His approach combines implementation and teaching: developing tools, improving processes, reviewing security and connecting technology with customer acquisition, sales, margins and delivery capacity. He is open to businesses with execution already underway, particularly those that can grow online, contributing guidance, a team or capital.
Speaking is part of my work. I have participated in more than 50 events as a speaker, covering advertising, online business, sales and, more recently, AI and automation. I bring the experience of managing projects, working with teams and continuing to test what I teach.
That experience spans different audiences: marketers, business owners, entrepreneurs and teams in sectors such as fitness and health. A conversation about customer acquisition changes when the audience runs a clinic, an online shop or a service business. I start by understanding the decisions and processes of the people in the room.
Sharing experience, discussing decisions and answering questions from people doing the work.
A selection from my speaking background
2023 · São Paulo
Afiliados Brasil
Paid traffic applied to affiliate marketing. The post-event report describes my presentation on audiences, the buying journey and campaign execution.
I joined the panel of marketing and business speakers. The 2024 programme lists me under paid traffic and includes my session at the start of the first day.
The official speaker archive includes my participation in the business category. An audience of business owners and managers connecting growth, marketing and technology.
A session about strategies for increasing sales through digital channels, aimed at entrepreneurs, startups and scaleups. Announced by the municipality for 5 June.
A speaker at the fourth International Congress for Fitness & Wellness Professionals, whose programme brought together management, sales, marketing and exercise.
I created AdSummit in 2020 and continue to host the event. Organising means choosing topics, bringing specialists together and building a sequence that makes sense to the audience. The 2026 edition focuses on AI and automation, with demonstrations and a live application build planned.
I can develop an introductory talk for business owners, a session on AI opportunities and limitations, or practical team training. Topics include sales processes, data, internal applications, implementation security and the impact of these tools on service delivery.
To prepare an invitation, send the audience profile, goal, format and date. My sales team will follow up to discuss requirements. Interviews, podcasts and panels can also be proposed through this route.
At Laboratório da IA, I provide mentoring twice a month on online business and AI, review students’ projects and teach people to apply artificial intelligence and automation in their work and businesses.
