Peta - The Octocurse

To convince people to stop eating octopus, the world already tried everything: politely asking. Explaining. Insisting. Begging. And none of it worked. So, we went for the only way left: cursing our audience.

Beware the Octocurse! Stay human. Don't eat octopus.

TV screens in appliances stores usually show random and irrelevant images. Why not use this medium for something that would really make a difference? We advertised dogs up for adoption, in an unexpected way.

Sheba - 4AM ADZZZ

Cats are nocturnal and they often wake up their owners at 4AM asking for food.

This campaign was created in partnership with sleep scientists to help cat owners get back to sleep.

Using techniques such as ASMR, body scan and meditation, we created a sleep-inducing film and other content and targeted cat owners awake at night and scrolling through their social media.

Veja - Distorted Fact

Distorted Fact is a real experiment to highlight the importance of getting the news from the source without intermediaries. We invited a painter, who was asked to portray a famous journalistic photo. Next was an illustrator - his point of departure was the painting. And so, 6 artists portrayed the previous work without seeing the original photo. The last one was a photographer. Then, the original and the last photographs were compared, showing that the fact was completely distorted.

The more intermediaries, the more distortion. Get your news from the source. Veja News.

Trouserless Nightmare - Craghoppers

Have you ever dreamed that you‘re trouserless? That people can see you, standing there in all your nakedness? If so, you’re not alone. It's an extremely common, but humiliating and uncomfortable nightmare. It’s widely considered that these dreams come from a subconscious sense of vulnerability, of being somehow unprotected.
