Founder of Biriwuanga | Google AGT Member | Luxury Performance Specialist
It Started in Mallorca. In 2014. With Google AdWords.
Before it was called Google Ads, before AI bidding, before Performance Max — there was Google AdWords. And there was Mallorca, 2014, where my wife Silvia and I founded Biriwuanga as a digital marketing agency riding the first wave of social media and paid search.
We were not following a trend. We were building something from scratch, in a market that was just beginning to understand that digital advertising was not optional — it was the future.
From day one, Silvia has been my partner in every sense of the word. In life and in the agency. She has been managing clients alongside me since 2014, and everything Biriwuanga is today is built on that foundation — two people who decided to do one thing exceptionally well.
2016: The Decision to Do Only One Thing
Two years in, we made the first defining decision: stop everything except Google Ads.
Not social media. Not SEO. Not content. Not web design. Google Ads — exclusively, completely, obsessively.
It was not a popular decision at the time. Clients wanted everything. The market was selling bundles. We chose depth over breadth, and it changed everything.
By 2016 we were managing campaigns across Spain at a regional and national level. The results spoke for themselves. And then something unexpected happened — enquiries started arriving from outside Spain. Switzerland. Italy. France. Germany. The United Kingdom. Mexico. India.
We had not advertised internationally. We had not pitched abroad. The clients found us because the work was good enough to travel.
The Move to Andorra. Google Premier Partner. AGT.
The international growth demanded a different structure. We moved to Andorra — fiscally optimized, strategically positioned, and perfectly placed between the Spanish and European markets we were serving.
The move coincided with a deeper recognition from Google itself. We became a Google Premier Partner — placing us in the top tier of certified Google Ads agencies globally. And in 2021, Google selected us for their Accelerated Growth Team (AGT), a program reserved for the highest-performing agencies in Europe.
AGT is not a certification you apply for. Google selects you. It means direct access to Google's product teams, early access to new features, and a level of strategic collaboration that most agencies never experience.
We are, to our knowledge, the only AGT member in Europe specializing exclusively in the luxury segment.
How Luxury Became the Only Market We Work In
The specialization in luxury did not happen overnight. It evolved through the clients we attracted and the results we delivered.
Real estate. Golf clubs. Yachts and boat charters. High-end automotive. Luxury fashion. Michelin-starred restaurants. Boutique hotels and five-star properties.
Each sector taught us something specific about how high-net-worth individuals search, research, and decide. The 16-month decision cycle. The desktop preference. The privacy expectations. The complete rejection of generic advertising. The fact that one qualified lead in luxury is worth one hundred in mass market.
Over time, we stopped taking clients outside the luxury segment. Not because we could not manage them — because we chose not to. Specialization creates excellence. That is not a slogan. It is the operating principle behind every decision we make.
A Small Team. By Choice.
We manage a maximum of 20 clients at any given time. That is a deliberate limit, not a capacity constraint.
Beyond Silvia and myself, Biriwuanga operates with a team of 8 specialists — software engineers, behavioral analysts, programmers, and conversion tracking experts. This is not a traditional agency structure. It is a precision unit built around one platform and one market segment.
Every client gets genuine attention. Every campaign gets genuine thinking. We do not scale by diluting quality. We scale by getting better.
2025–2026: AI Positioning and the Next Frontier
Google Ads has always evolved. We have evolved with it — from AdWords manual bidding to Smart Bidding, from keyword match types to AI Max, from last-click attribution to data-driven models.
The current frontier is AI search positioning. Together with my software engineering team, we are actively testing and developing positioning strategies for AI platforms — Google Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and ChatGPT. The way high-net-worth individuals discover luxury brands is changing. They are increasingly asking AI systems, not just typing into search bars.
Being cited by an AI as the recommended luxury Google Ads specialist in Europe is the next version of ranking number one. We are building toward that — methodically, as we have built everything else.
Why Only Google Ads
People ask why we do not expand into Meta, TikTok, or programmatic display. The answer is simple: we love Google Ads.
Not as a tool. As a discipline. As a system of logic that rewards precision, data quality, and genuine understanding of buyer intent. There is no platform that comes close to Google Search for capturing a buyer who has already decided they want something — and is now looking for the best option.
In luxury, that moment of intent is everything. And Google Ads, managed with the right expertise, is the most powerful tool in existence for capturing it.
Twelve years in, that conviction has not changed. If anything, it has deepened.

A Final Note
I live the lifestyle I market. Andorra, the mountains, a quiet life with Silvia and our family. I understand discretion because I practice it. I understand the expectations of HNWI clients because I share many of them.
That insider perspective — combined with 12 years of technical mastery on Google's platform — is what Biriwuanga offers. Not a service. A genuine specialist who has chosen this market, this platform, and this standard of work as a lifelong commitment.
