After Budweiser got banned from Catar, AfricaDDB and W+K NY quickly joined forces on a simple idea: offering our hundreds of thousands of beers to the winning country.
By turning a crises into an opportunity, we made Budweiser the most talked about brand during the World Cup.

How many epic parties have you missed because you had to work in the day after? Or because you didn't feel like drinking alcohol?
The truth is that in a multiverse scattered around, a version of you opened a cold Budweiser Zero alcohol and must have enjoyed it a lot.
We dived into entertainment to launch Budweiser Zero in Brazil. A mega-production full of references that was fucking fun to produce.

There's one thing every music fan hates: Spotify ads. When an unwanted ad pops up and interrupts the playlist, the vibe goes out the window.
But there is something all these genres have in common: musics with "Budweiser" in the lyrics. There are over 500 songs worldwide making unofficial ads for the brand. Unofficial until now.
Case study coming soon.
Just a few weeks before the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the world turned against something that is part of Brazilian culture: dances after a goal.
The critics escalated.
And became an excuse for racist and xenophobic offenses against Brazilian players.
So what could be the best answer to all this hate against Brazilian dances?
Dance even more.
In the music video, we put easter eggs and a dance tutorial for all Brazilians to respond to haters by dancing.
We projected #AturaOBaile in iconics Europe stadiums where Brazilian players suffered prejudice, bringing a message: we will never stop dancing.

In 1919, Brazil won Copa America with the white shirt, its first title as a professional team. 100 years later, we transformed Brazilian players into vintage collectible cards to launch Nike's new collection of the Brazilian National Team in honor of this centenary achievement.
The campaign was named “O Team Brasileiro”, as the national team was called in 1919, bringing back to life the concept of the old days.
And to celebrate Brazil's title in 2019, we made a film spot telling the story of the white shirt that was unjustly cursed for 70 years after the “Maracanaço” in 1950.

We proposed Genera, pioneer and largest company focused on personal genomics in Brazil, to perform a DNA test on a mother and her adopted daughter to discover what they always had in common: their invisible connections.
Because nothing is more powerful than our connections.

Note: one of the most exciting projects I've had the pleasure of participating in, because this true story is just like my story. :)

You don't have to be an artist to live like one.
Global campaign for Bud X World Tour aired in 17 countries around the globe.
Film coming soon.

Find a comfortable place in a music festival is kind of impossible, right?
That's why, for Lollapalooza Brazil 2024, Budweiser launched "The Smallest VIP Area": the outfit that opens space in the crowd and serves as a support for your cold Bud.

Nike told us that it was going to launch a Corinthians collection in honor of the best Formula 1 driver of all time: Ayrton Senna (who, by the way, was a fanatical Corinthians fan).
We replied: there is only one way to do this campaign, being brave.

Despite Brazil being the blackest country outside the African continent, historically only white people have been protagonists of love in Brazilian entertainment.
So, to announce the partnership between Coca-Cola and Afropunk in 2021, we transformed the iconic Coca-Cola glass bottle into the "Lovetov", subverting and creating a limited edition of the first Molotov Cocktail that spreads black love.
On the fabric that comes out of the bottle, we invited Brazilian black artists to illustrate the black love story of other great Brazilian black artists.
Each artist had their love represented in their bottle, approaching a variety of black love: self love, romantic love, love for african roots, love for black culture, black maternal love, black family love.

How to launch the new Fanta Flavor when the flavor is a complete mystery?
Well, taking advantage of the most mysterious period of the year.
Analyzing the search data during Halloween, one of the top subjects is always "how to cook unexpected snacks". The perfect match with Fanta.
So, we decided to create the most unexpected cooking competition.

To celebrate the seventh Brazilian championship of Corinthians, we created a souvenir newspaper for Nike with texts, headlines and photos that portray the fan's unwavering faith. The loose sheets of the newspaper allowed fans to turn each page into a poster.
During three months, photographers captured the devotion of both anonymous and celebrity fans, as well as of the players themselves.
The newspaper was delivered after the match that Corinthians lifted the cup and then distributed for free at newsstands, bars, subway stations and Nike stores in São Paulo.
At nike.com/corinthians fans had access to the full stories of registered fans.
+35 thousand copies.
2.5 tons of printed newspaper.

Corona and Parley for the Oceans has made a pact to protect 100 islands around the world from plastic pollution.
Fernando de Noronha, a tiny Brazilian surf paradise, is one of them.
But in such a small place, we decided to go further than simple clean-ups, so we lent our poster boy, Gabriel Medina, to become the face of small businesses in Noronha on a simple condition:
they'd had to end their stock of plastic on the same day.

In Brazil, TV after midnight can reserve magical (or crazy) things.
To promote Disney's new Aladdin movie, we sold the precious and iconic flying magic carpet in one of the most mysterious, funny and nonsense carpet sales programs on Brazilian television: 1001 nights.
Yes Day. A movie from Netflix which parents say yes to everything their children ask for during 24 hours. So, we asked ourselves, what if we also said yes to the kids exactly where they are: in Minecraft?
So, to promote the movie, we created a crazy city in the game made out of children’s requests.
A flying submarine hunting a shark with wings?
Yes.
An UFO abducting a cat?
Yes.
A waterfall of donuts?
You already know the answer.

If one day you were asked: what do you have to say to you?
We invited one of the greatest Brazilian actors, Lázaro Ramos, to do Genera's DNA test. Through the result, we made a film putting the ethnic groups that gave his test to talk about him, inviting everyone to know more about his ancestry.
Last but not least, the campaign launches the brand's new tagline across the country:
Genera. Busque em você. (Search yourself).

It's only crazy until you do it.
To celebrate the historic football world record of 28 consecutive victories achieved by Corinthians women's team, we've created a film spot for Nike showing how the negative comments of the supporters changed as the team became unbeatable over the years.
A simple and necessary answer.
Just do it.
Every year anti-racist ideas win numerous awards at advertising festivals around the world. Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Andy Awards, Clube de Criação... well, everyone. The problem? There are few black creatives involved in creating these ideas. There are few black creatives judging these ideas.
Is the anti-racist fight really important or are they just taking advantage of it to win medals?
It was from this dissatisfaction that BLCK.PWR.ADS was born: the world's first advertising festival created by black creatives, judged by black creatives and selecting the best anti-racist ideas of recent years.
But with an important detail:
No medals. No Grand Prix. No glamour.
+ 29 jury members
+ 80 selected projects

Every election year in Brazil is the same thing: thousands of tons of political propaganda papers polluting the streets. Hardly anyone does anything to change this scenario. We decided to do it.
We placed stylized dumps and street-posters near the main polling stations in São Paulo.
Skol Beats Tower was a festival in a building, featuring the best nightclubs of Brazil, playing several different beats on each floor.
To elevate the concept "redondo é sair do mesmo beat", we created an official videoclip of Skol Beats Tower with a new song composed by artists of totally different styles who performed at the event:
Marcelo D2 (rap), Bhaskar (tech-house) and Nomade Orquestra (instrumental jazz, funk, rock, reggae, blues).
