Sometime in 2010, Bernardo Correa and Rafael Campos shared a toast. Eventually we became a creative team, and our last job was at VML+Y&R as Regional Creative Directors for the Colgate/Palmolive LATAM brands. Before that we spent some time at Ogilvy São Paulo, Isobar Brazil, DM9DDB and Publicis Brazil.

We've been doing creative work for over a decade for brands like IBM, Dove, Fiat, Kimberly-Clark, Nivea, Samsung and Hellmann’s to name a few. Along the way we have won some industry awards and pitches. Recently, we are freelancing on local and international jobs for clients like Revolut Bank, Twitch, Epson and Red Bull.

Colgate and smiles are unmistakably connected. The global campaign was based on that and the message was presented in various ways. That allowed the pieces to picture different aspects of smiles like, the affection and the optimism.

thank you for smiling

With a smart digital media placement we celebrated the fact that Colgate Smiles are everywhere. Even on other brand’s ads. They use it because everyone knows a Colgate Smile. We thanked them because every shared smile makes the world a better place.

 
 


REAL PEOPLE, REAL SMILES, REAL IMPACT

We searched throughout Latim America for icons in their communities, real people that believed their endless optimism could make the difference, who inspire others with their actions. By telling their stories we embodied the power of smiling. We also invited people share their own stories, creating a chain of positivity triggered by Colgate.

 
 

In an effort that truly shows the power of a smile, we also developed an emotional piece,
that put the smile in the center of of human connections.

 
 

More than 20 countries, from Mexico to Argentina watched stories of sheer optimism
and were reminded that a smile can still make all the diference in the world.

Bradesco, one of the largest banks in Brazil, had a lot to overcome. Being constantly outdated by its competitors and by the newcomers from the fintech era, its goals were ambitious and weren’t easy to reach.

shine again

 
 

 2020 was an uncommon year. Following its previous strategic success’, Bradesco wanted to release an uplifting end of the year video. But this time just another inspiring story wouldn’t be enough.

The story created not only represented the diversity of Brazil but the several ways each of us have struggled during 2020. In the end a sympathetic message of hope, not allowing people to forget that there’s some light ahead.  

 
 

An integrated campaign helped to spread our message of hope and it became one of the most memorable videos from an already iconic brand.

BIA’s new answers

BIA is one of the most successful AI’s in Brazil. She helps Bradesco clients with countless banking functions and has accoladed more than 1 billion interactions so far (and counting). But, BIA is presented as a woman, and even though she’s a machine she isn’t free of sexism, harassment and verbal violence.
And wasn’t programmed to defend herself.

 
 

Brand commitment allowed us to bring to life an idea that is helping
shape new behaviors and acceptance on digital environments.

Afropunk bahia 2020

Because of Covid-19, the first edition of the art festival Afropunk held in Brazil would have to be online. People were excited about the event and with the fact it was supposed to take place in Salvador.

 
 

Concentrating different online stages and areas, the video tried to emulate the energy of the event. Even though it was a remote event the audience responded and connected with the concerts, workshops, and conferences.

Innovation

The future that people imagine is in the making. Before it is on display for everyone, companies that are part of our daily routine test it, improve it, and smoothly make everyone understand the need of progress. Companies like Bradesco that is constantly innovating its platforms and apps so everyone can have a taste of the future.

 
 

The innovation was embraced, and we took the concept even further by asking an AI to make our visual for the campaign. How relevant bank data would be translated by this AI? We partnered with The Force Studios to generate graphics in a 3D environment by this AI.

 
 

On the year of the campaign, Bradesco was accoladed as one of the most innovative companies in Brazil, ahead of fintech start-ups.

SMALL BUSINESSES FRENZY

Opening a new business is always a challenge, specially in an often unstable economy. It may sound like a crazy thing to do. But we’ve made possible to millions of small businesses owners to give it a shot every day. 

 
 

We extended the campaign with 3 young entrepreneurs that had very challenging and brave projects in their minds. Their stories inspired and proved that the bank was on the right side and on the right track.

 
 

The bank wanted to make sure that their target know we understand how they feel.

is there such a thing as the perfect beer?

 
 

If you take some time to watch this adventurous documentary concepted and created for AMBEV, you’ll see that a wide range of brewmasters, from different beer schools are all on the same page. The very same question rises every now and then at the bars, pubs and biergartens around the world. While the arguments are not always based on technician knowledge as you’ll see in the movie, the conclusion are most likely the same.

The première was ready. The theatres were ready. The rising stars of the brew industry were there. After all, it was a movie launching campaign. For such occasion the cinema and PR coverage were present, side by side with specialists who were getting ready for the pre-roll interview. After the first day, people could watch it on the main theatres in the country.

By now you are probably aware that the perfect beer doesn’t exist. Or better. The perfect beer is a matter of occasion. It varies from time to time, from place to place. However, the documentary was there to break a bunch of other beer-related myths. For that, we selected small contents selected from the movie of extras and made a segmented media campaign intending to change habits.

You’ve cracked open a bottle of secrets and now you know that the perfect beer is a legend and also can be at the grasp of very hand in the next night, all at the same time. Incredible, like beer. Other things that you may be interested in is the results of this massive campaign. At this point you may recall what Charles Nouwen said: “the journey is more important than the endgame. I don’t want to reach the destination”.

World Cup is a frenzy
in brazil. in 2018, not so much.

 

After a devastating loss in the 2014 World Cup, Brazilians got skeptical about their soccer team. To try to restore the hope of the fans and the pride of the team, Tite was named coach and immediately made his mark. Under his leadership the athletes took back the joy of playing and had shown a long lasting quality: values. We started our campaign sharing quotes from Tite's speeches to players and postgame interviews.

 
 

the eye of the coach

 

Tite's principles and positive influence was so impactful that people in Brazil started to campaign for him to run for presidency (seriously). So, we've decided to take a step further and show what sports programs, so worried about tactics and results didn't: his approach on life and how it merges with his coaching philosophy. For that, we created a series of six short episodes, shot in the middle of Brazil's greatest soccer temple: the Maracanã Stadium.

The Absence Of Shin Guards, The Captain's Armband, Practices Like a Match, Overcoming The Fear, My Dream Team, Comfort Zone. Those are the chapters that helped Brazilins to understand the mindset of their coach, but more than that, it made them believe again, not because the country is a nest of football talent, but because of hard work.

Itaú BROUGHT THE TRUTH TO A BELOVED SUBJECT, AND PEOPLE ANSWERED. NOWADAYS, 64% OF THE BRAZILIANS THINK BRAZIL CAN REACH THE TITLE AND 76% AGREE THAT TITE IS THE BEST COACH FOR COUNTRY'S MOST RESPECTED POSITION.

we resurrected Brazil's
most charismatic tabloid

 

The movie Brazilian Western was about to be released. A film set in the 80’s, with its main themes being corruption, drugs and murder. We needed to generate lots of buzz about it. So rather than promoting it in a conventional way, we did the unthinkable: we resurrected Brazil's most charismatic printed tabloid.

 
 

fiction imitates art
that imitates life

 

Brazilian Western is one of the most celebrated songs of the 80's in Brazil. It is 8 minutes long and has no chorus and that's exactly why it stood out. The movie script is based entirely on the song. Likewise, the news of the Last Edition of Notícias Populares are based on the original lyrics, the movie scenes and Brazil's 80's background.

the goriest newsroom ever
put back together

 

Former journalists, photographers and the original chief editor watched the movie and worked hard, all night long, to relaunch Notícias Populares (the newspaper that was all about blood and murders) one last time,
on the movie's plot.

 
 
 

the largest
press run

300,000 copies of the Last Edition of Notícias Populares were printed and delivered along Brazil’s biggest newspaper: Folha de S. Paulo. We were aiming for an unusual promotion, but we managed to make the largest press run in the history of the tabloid.

the buzz

 

Portals spontaneously covered the long-awaited comeback. The call to action “If you don’t share our news your dick will fall off” worked well. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram were flooded with the tabloid’s news.

The campaign ended up generating 1.7 million dollars of free media, out of a low-low-extremely-low-budget. And the public responded.

The ADVERGAME that
educates drivers
and pedestrians

 

Traffic and street responsibility shouldn't be game. But since everything else failed, Fiat, the leader in automobile sales in Brazil for over a decade, decided it was worth a shot. So they launched Mistakeland, a game with a simple mission: respect other commuters.

 
 
 

Everyone plays
their part

 
 

Traffic and streets are ecosystems and every tiny part has its role. That's why Mistakeland brings pedestrians, cyclists, bikers, car and bus drivers together. They all belong on the streets. It's the players job make them get along. Bad habits are recurring and Mistakeland is an addictive game that evoques good habits.

 
 
 
 

ENVIRONMENT
AND BELONGING

The suburbs, a commercial district and a busy city center were designed to bring everyday situations to the gameplay. For every stage completed, it gets tougher to avoid mistakes.

A Model With Skin Cancer Rallies Brazilians
to Protect Themselves

 
 

Model and actress Barbara Evans was diagnosed with skin cancer at the age of 22. She was the woman selected to start Nivea Sun's new social media campaign in Brazil. The main intention was to create an habit in Brazilians: the daily use of sunscreen. In the end, beside that we've got a important self-consciousness viral.

 
 

Addressing the issue

 

According to Brazil's National Cancer Institute data, one person dies of skin cancer every three hours in the country. However, roughly 150 million people still don't use sunscreen, and some never have.

Fully disclosed on social networks, the campaign started with Evans, speaking about her experience battling skin cancer. During the video she also made a sunscreen sign on her own cheekbones and invited people to do the same, so they could join the cause #signofcare

A SIGN OF CARE

Celebrities and influencers joined the campaign and spread the message to their followers, inviting them to take selfies with a pattern of sunscreen on their faces -- like a war paint, a war against the skin cancer. That along with the hashtag #singofcare.

A sign that reveals that people cared about a real issue in Brazil's healthy system. A sign that proves that the country is moving ahead to the right direction and that brought the subject to the stakes for far longer than just the summertime.

The ultimate question has been answered, by simply tweeting the ingredients available and a hashtag.

 
 

tweet before cooking

 

Cooking is nice. However, people usually don't remember random recipes by heart. ReciTweet brought different possibilities and cut food waste. It became a trustful automatic recipe generator. So, we synced it with one of the biggest recipe databases on the web.

the OLYMPIAN'S MOBILE

 

To celebrate Summer Olympics in Rio, Samsung, one of the official sponsors of the Games, decided to launch a special edition of their premium smartphone, the Galaxy S7 Edge. Every olympic athlete got one. Then the numbered, limited edition hit the stores. There were only 2016 devices. Robert Scheidt is an Olympic hero. He has 5 medals in 6 editions, including 2 golds: the most for a Brazilian athlete. However, he never had a proper homage. With the Olympic Games coming to Rio, we decided it was about time for him to know how proud Brazilians are of his legacy.

 
 

the surprise

 

During his preparation for the Olympics, Robert Scheidt knew he had a Samsung unboxing. But he never had a clue what was going to happen. He phone was loaded with messages from family, friends from all around the world and other athletes to give him the support for his last race and the appreciation for his legendary carrier.

In his last Olympic Games as laser-class-sailor, Robert Scheidt was the oldest competitor. He finished up in 4th place.

We invited people to explore a better WORKING World

 
 

During its 100th birthday, IBM promoted an exhibition to remind people about
their groundbreaking constant innovation and share some of the lessons they learned. The work selection was the sum of the technological progress of the last century. Still, people needed to know about it. We invited them through these posters.

 
 

The exhibit

 

The THINK exhibit is an exploration into how the world works and how to make it work better. Located at Lincoln Center in New York, the THINK exhibit happened to be, at the same time, a heaven on Earth for tech people, a record of how humankind has evolved and a self reflection about how we can improve the way we live .

 
 

the posters

 

The posters worked as billboards and out of home displays throughout New York City. Each one of them was about an innovation IBM promoted in our society and were also an invitation to the exhibition.

how ibm helped to shape the last century.

atari's frogger got live and dangerous

 
 

To help Allianz Insurance advise people about the danger of driving carelessly we recreated Atari's Frogger, but this time using the heavy traffic of São Paulo, entirely live.

 
 

a rebirth to fight
a modern issue

 

Accessing Facebook people were allowed to play and compete in this vintage, remodelled game. The game design stuck to the original one, but on LiveFrog players actually had to avoid cars, trucks and motorcycles from a real time video stream.

 
1500318845687.png
 

The characters

We wanted LiveFrog to be challenging just like the modern traffic. To make it educative about what could happen on streets we created and designed new characters, each one of them representing a point of attention while driving.  

 
 
 

Vintage interface

 
 

LiveFrog was able to merge 16bit art with 3D character design and real life. However, we wanted the level design to look back to the origins of the game, creating a nostalgic feeling among older drivers.

 
 
 

LiveFrog was played by thousands. Few tough players were able
to complete the 5 stages, such is the traffic nowadays.

Allianz was so pleased that a year later they launched livefrog2,
this time in rio de janeiro.

They took a lift
Fanta lifted their spirits

 
 

We selected the most boring place in the world (a college elevator on winter), during one of the most distressful moments of a youngster life (finals), and by using SFX, hidden slots, audio and lights tricks, we made it awesome. Fanta is all about surprising ways to make people have fun. That's why we wanted to be sure this elevator was full of surprises. Hidden voice emulators, a dance floor, a lateral electronic drum kit, to name a few. We also got some pranks up our sleeves like a terrifying Hitchcock's Psycho theme during a flickering light. And of course, a well-hidden fridge full of Fanta.

 
 

having fun is
the final exam

Fanta reached its awareness goal and most importantly, the brand
was a relief for students that were under terrible stress and pressure.

no student was harmed or bullied in the making of this case study.
