Author

Three books.
Two languages.
One author.

A theater career, a marketing agency, and a life split between Spain and Miami produced three very different books. One teaches. One tells a story. One is a confession. Start wherever pulls you first.

Start here

A Line on the Beach

The most personal. Immigration, reinvention, leaving Spain for Miami.

Then

The Scribe

The most literary. A novel about identity and making other people's ideas visible.

Then

Mucha Mierda

The most practical. 25 years of marketing applied to the stage that is social media.

01 · Memoir

A Line on the Beach

Personal Transformation · Immigration

Anxious to succeed? Feeling lost on where to start? You're not alone.

The definitive, actionable account of leaving a country, a career, and a version of yourself behind, and rebuilding from nothing in a new place. Drawn directly from Diego's own move from Spain to Miami, the depression he went through in Madrid, and the process of rebuilding his professional life and identity from zero.

Written with a practical approach rooted in marketing and project management, not the vocabulary of self-help. No more empty promises. Just what actually worked.

English · A Line on the Beach

Español · La línea en la playa

02 · Literary Fiction

The Scribe

Literary Fiction · Metaphysical

What if someone has been writing your life since the beginning?

A short, dense novel about a man whose skill is making other people's ideas visible, and what happens to his own voice when it is spent entirely amplifying others. Written during the most productive, most distracted year of Diego's professional life, when the line between recording what others say and having something to say himself got harder to find.

Intentionally brief: a long book about brevity and creative silence would contradict itself.

03 · Marketing

Mucha Mierda

Marketing · Social Media

"Mucha mierda" is what they say backstage in Spanish theater before stepping on. Not "good luck." Social media is that same stage.

This book will not teach you how to "grow on Instagram." It teaches the game underneath it: why some content moves people and most dies on arrival, what separates those who build real authority from those who accumulate empty metrics, and how to apply 25 years of real marketing to the one screen that decides everything now.

No gurus. No weekend formulas. Just the method, from someone who has made enough mistakes to have something concrete to say.

About the author

Black and white medium close-up portrait of Diego Cipion.

25 years on stage, on the page, and now in AI.

Diego Cipion wrote and produced 10 plays in Madrid, one of them the most-performed production in the history of Madrid microtheater: over 7,000 shows in 8 countries. He then built a career in marketing across two continents before founding Cipion Marketing in Miami, and became a creative partner at AIM World.ai producing cinematic AI film for tier-1 brands.

The three books sit at the intersection of all of it: the discipline of the stage, the honesty of an immigrant story, and 25 years of paying attention to what actually makes people act.

What formats can I buy?

Kindle eBook, paperback, and hardcover, for every one of the six editions, all on Amazon.

Is this the same Diego Cipion who runs Cipion Marketing?

Yes, the same person. The books are independent of the agency; nothing here is written or sold on its behalf.
