Arrows & Packaging (2007)
The Panamericana School of Art specializes in arts and drawing courses, in addition to courses specific in marketing/advertising, fine arts, fashion, photography, and jewelry design where the students get hands-on experience.
In order to promote this methodological concept we developed a guerilla-type action: beer packaging, book and CD covers, and adhesive arrows were spread out throughout the city and magazines. They held a simple question: “Want to learn how to do this?” . We got the public’s attention in a unique and effective manner.
The fake packaging was spread out throughout the city in bookstores, music stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores, in a manner that place the school’s piece amidst real-world products. The adhesive arrows were spread out to promote the specializing courses, so they were placed on jewelry and clothing store-windows, ads in magazines and newspapers, art pieces, billboards, and food courts.
People were surprised by the originality and by the context of the action before them, as they strolled down streets, or browsed for books, CDs, or even beer on shelves. With this action the number of calls requesting information about the school nearly doubled, and the number of people signing up increased by 15% during the campaign.

How far does your creativity go?
Through interaction with the public part, the Escola Panamericana de Artes questions how far the creativity of people goes.
The campaign goes from paper until outdoors, trays, napkins and every place people can take a break and deliberate their imagination, while they’re eating or even in the bathroom. This would instigate people with their own creativity and would make them think about making some kind of course in Panamericana School of Art and Design.
The visits and registration to the Panamericana increased absurdly. This made the benefit of the school (to maximize the talents) much more tangible, stimulating people to make the classes offered by the institution

AlmapBBDO for Havaianas (2000/2011) – The most beautiful case history in the world
Posted: August 4, 2011 Filed under: Agency, Ambient, Brazil, Cannes Lions, Case History, Design, Press/Outdoor | Tags: AlmapBBDO, Brazil, brazilian, Cannes Lions, Case History, colours, Danilo Boer, Danilo Siqueira, flip flop, flowers, gold lion, Gustavo Sarkis, Havaianas, Luiz Sanches, Marcello Serpa, Marcos Kotlhar, Marcus Sulzbaker, original, Outdoor, Press, real ad, visual identity Leave a commentFew agencies are as consistently brilliant year after year as Marcello Serpa’s Sao Paulo shop, Almap BBDO, whether the job is to make a global brand like Volkwagen a local favorite, or take a local brand like Havaianas global. For the latter, the shop created happy ads in eye-popping colors that capture Brazil’s fun, sunny lifestyle in a flip-flop the Brazilians — and increasingly the rest of the world — will pay a premium for.
Brazilians love their Havaianas flip-flops. And every year, so do more consumers around the world. In a long marketing journey, Havaianas have transformed a commodity that was one step above going barefoot for Brazil’s poor to a chic brand bursting with colorful personality. It didn’t happen overnight. For 30 years, Havaianas came in one style and five colors said Carla Schmitzberger, sandals director at Sao Paulo-based Alpargatas, whose Havaianas brand accounts for about half the company’s sales. “Wealthier people wore them at home, but were emabarassed to wear a poor people’s shoe outside,” she said.
Sales declined for five years until 1993, when the compant started multiplying the colors and styles, and working with the fashion press, models and celebrities to get Havaianas on more upscale feet. That year, Marcello Serpa, as one of Brazil’s top creatives, joined Almap BBDO as a partner and creative director. Havaianas was his first account there, and he has been the mastermind for 17 years of its award-winning advertising in Brazil and now internationally.

Havaianas Slim – CRANK/PERFUME SPRAY/SHOE/TAXI/BANANA
It has been put together the fact that Havaianas was born in the age of 60’s and that the same age had as many colours as Havaianas does.
The brief was about Havaianas’ anniversary and in the ad, there should be not only a good ad talking about havaianas’ originality, but also the brand’s history. The ad was made based on 60’s drawings and the copywriting was based on Havaianas’ originality. The advertising became a great piece full of colors which has attracted the public who didn’t know how old the brand Havaianas was.

Havaianas – VISUAL IDENTITY
Describe the challenges and key objectives
The major diversity of pieces, including or not the places where they were published, has a unique image which valorizes the product and builds a colourful, fun, and simple universe that has become the brand’s owner.
Describe the brief from the client
The challenge was to create a new and big campaign, which would put all that Havaianas has got of the best products together, to cause a positive impression in its consumers.
Describe how you arrived at the final design
This is a set of jobs that were executed in the last 12 months to the brand Havaianas, which has resulted in this Design Case. They are executions in different ways and medias that were exposed in Europe, USA and especially in Brazil.
Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
The success is proved by the high measure of relationship of the brand with its consumer, making the product be not only a rubber sandal to be a part of Havaianas. It’s a symbol of the Brazilian spirit, which is translated from Havaianas through its colourful, simplicity, optimism, happiness and good mood.

Havaianas Original – IPANEMA/BIKINI/BOSSA-NOVA
This poster was made exclusively to run outside of Brazil and it had two basic goals. The first and most important was to promote the Havaianas flip-flop “Original” model, which has remained the same since 1962. The second was to bring an authentic Brazilian spirit, which is the essence of the Havaianas brand, to the rest of the world.

Havaianas – HAVAIANAS REAL AD (SUMMER CAMPAIGN)
Describe the challenges and key objectives
How do you claim the summer in a new fresh way and create something that is both unexpected and also shares all of the brands values.
Describe the brief from the client
In summer time, Brazilians rush to the beach. Havaianas, Brazil’s favourite flip-flop, had never done anything specific for the summer and they wanted to claim the summer as the Havaianas season.
Describe how you arrived at the final design
On 6 of the most popular Brazilian beaches we set up, rising from the ground, gigantic, colourful installations that claimed the beach as Havaianas territory and summer as the spirit of Havaianas. From there it was simple, all we did was photograph the sculptures and our Havaianas always summer poster was done.
Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
The response from beachgoers was immediate. Right away people started to interacted with the installations and the campaign spontaneously spread from the beach to social networks such as Twitter, blogs, flickr and youTube.

Havaianas – HAVAIANAS WORLD CUP
Describe the challenges and key objectives
We decided to approach this on a very basic level, football pride. We wanted people to feel proud supporting their national team with havaianas on their feet. But, how do you do that for 32 different teams, 32 different countries with different languages, different cultures and people?
Describe the brief from the client
2010 is World Cup year and as a product which lives on the feet of brazilians, Havaianas needed to participate in a big way. So, they created Havaianas Teams, a special edition flip-flop line, one for each participating country in the world cup, to be sold all around the world.
Describe how you arrived at the final design
After careful research understanding the symbols, colours, typography and cultural esthetics, we designed 32 individual posters, one for each world cup playing team, always using the havaianas flip-flop in the center. We worked the design to serve as a flag of national pride for each team always paying attention to make them equally powerful and meaningful to each country. After all the posters were ready we organised them according to the world cup, 1st round, matches with date and time to form a giant time table.
Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
The Havaians Teams line was a great success. In Brazil they were sold-out in almost all Havaianas retailers and surprisingly people started to collect models from other countries. spreading the pride sentiment just in time for the 2010 world cup.

The Billboard Magazine Campaign
Posted: July 6, 2011 Filed under: Ambient, Brazil, Cannes Lions, Case History, Digital, Direct, Press/Outdoor | Tags: AlmapBBDO, Billboard, Billboard Yourself Flickr Photostream, Brazil, Cannes Lions, Case History, Digital, gold lion, Luiz Sanches, Marcello Serpa, Outdoor Leave a commentWhen Billboard magazine was released in Brazil in October of 2009, Almap BBDO launched an integrated campaign celebrating the influence that musicians have had on us throughout our lives. To do this, BBDO incorporated special software onto touch-screen ads in which the faces of famous artists that had been taken from music videos, and shrunken down into single hued icons. These icons were incorporated into interactive subway posters via a touch panel where users could select artists that they have been influenced by. The technology aggregates these artist’s faces into an image of the user, which could be uploaded to the Billboard Yourself Flickr Photostream, each displaying along with it a bar graph showing the percentage breakout of artists. The launch captured the idea that music drives us, and we want to share it with others. The customizable mosaics are surprisingly detailed, and the integration of the idea from print to outdoor to interactive to online was seamless and intuitive.
