Volkswagen FICCI sponsorship

Volkswagen Colombia was the official sponsor of FICCI – Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena for several years. We developed these posters linking the brand to the history of cinema in a compelling way.

Buscapina Fem

We addressed the real problem with menstrual cramps: the emotional changes that go along with them. And we reflected the consequences of those changes speaking the language of teen girls: love, drama, music, music video format… The result: a brand that surpassed the category leader in just 18 months. A campaign that was exported to other countries in latin America.

Alquería

A longstanding campaign for Alquería’s whole milk, portraying its superior flavor in a fun way and always true to the brand essence. This campaign helped define the brand character of Alquería.

Colcafé Misspelled Websites

This case was a Media short list at Cannes. It turns a common problem of the internet into an opportunity for the product.

 

Colcafé “Flowers”

What do you do when your brand has 14 different varieties of instant coffee for your consumers to choose from? We used an analogy to present Colcafé as the brand that “pampers” coffee drinkers through its extensive portfolio.

Allianz Incomplete Cars

Having a car insurance that doesn’t cover 100% of your vehicle in case of loss or damage, is like having an incomplete car… and what better way to drive this home than having people experience it firsthand.

Blancox Pintor

A local Brand reframes the basic benefit of the category to set a new standard of whiteness in clothes and to become the leader in just 18 months.
