About us | Endémica

Why Endémica?

Endémica was founded in 2013 with the conviction that there are no two equal projects, communities, or realities.

Since then, it has been clear to us that we were advocating for NON-STANDARDIZATION, as trying to fit into the same indicators made us lose sight of the uniqueness of each person, project, solution, context, and moment. We decided that our work would always be customized, making each occasion of working with an organization an opportunity to offer a solution that considered the common denominators and drew from the unique factors of each project.

ENDÉMICA embodies that unique form of adaptation and exclusivity that we see in every person, project, and organization.

Today, the same conviction leads us to understand that we are a consultancy that only works with tailor-made solutions, because standardizing impact means losing what makes each proposal unique. At Endémica, we respect the individuality and unique character of those who work with us.

Our passion lies in working with impact in the field, in communication, and in strategies.

“I am passionate about discussing social impact and firmly believe that impact investments will transform the way we build social projects. Throughout my professional journey, I have discovered that discussing social impact opens a conversation about a whole universe full of possibilities and methodologies. Reflecting on this, and combining the experiences and learnings from all the projects I have collaborated on, I see that my passion has directed me towards addressing social impact through the sphere of social marketing, impact-driven marketing, impact communication, and social entrepreneurship models.”
