The problem of counterfeit products on online marketplaces grows every year and directly affects both brands and consumers. After all, when a customer buys a fake product thinking it's original, they not only end up dissatisfied but also lose trust in the brand they were seeking.
Moreover, counterfeit products usually have inferior quality, do not meet safety standards, and damage the image of the original brand. That’s why, if you care about maintaining the quality and integrity of your brand, it’s crucial to adopt effective protection strategies to fight piracy — and that’s where Branddi can help.
At Branddi, our mission is to ensure that brands and consumers are protected against fraud and unfair practices such as piracy. To do this, we offer a service that locates ads for counterfeit products and handles the reporting process directly with the platform where the ad is published.
Let’s take a closer look at how this works — including the success case of Pé de Algodão, a brand that trusted Branddi to solve this very problem!
How does product piracy harm your brand?
In short, counterfeit products are items that illegally imitate original products, using a brand’s name, logo, or even design. On marketplaces and online stores, these fake products are advertised as if they were genuine, deceiving consumers and diverting sales from the official brand.
The impact goes beyond revenue loss — it directly affects your brand’s perceived quality and credibility. When a consumer purchases a disappointing counterfeit product, they associate that poor experience with the brand they believed they were buying from. Furthermore, piracy makes it harder to differentiate between authentic and fake items.
This scenario reinforces the need to protect your brand on marketplaces, ensuring that your company’s name is only associated with products that reflect your quality and authenticity.

Success story: how Branddi helped Pé de Algodão fight piracy
One of our most notable cases was with Pé de Algodão, a Brazilian brand specializing in children’s clothing and accessories.
The brand was facing a growing issue with counterfeit products that mimicked their creations and used their visual identity illegally. These fake items were being sold on popular marketplaces, confusing consumers and harming the brand’s image.
Pé de Algodão turned to Branddi for help, and our team took immediate action with our detection and reporting service. We identified several fraudulent listings using the brand’s name and design to deceive customers who were looking for genuine Pé de Algodão products.
After detecting the ads, Branddi submitted takedown requests directly to the platforms, leading to the swift removal of the counterfeit items.
Thanks to Branddi’s rapid intervention, Pé de Algodão was able to clean up its brand presence on those marketplaces and restore consumer trust. This is just one example of how our service can help brands combat piracy and protect their authenticity in digital environments.
