The SME Challenge

Centeo is a fintech company providing fast, flexible financing for SMEs in Mexico. Their mission was clear: democratize access to world-class financial services.

However, their initial brand expression leaned heavily on financial jargon, risking alienation of local business owners who needed clarity and trust above all.
