The document outlines the process a team took to develop a marketing concept for Brazil. They began with desk research on Brazil and existing campaigns. This informed the development of hypotheses around Brazilian values like patriotism. Consumer feedback validated the importance of showing Brazil's beauty and connecting to people through shared national pride versus individual promises. The final concept board proposed a shareable social media campaign merging brand values with pride in Brazil by highlighting the country's beauty and people's desire to connect.

appreciated and will be proud :/

11. PERSONAL LEARNINGS
Interesting to explore and discover more about anothercountry, its culture and
its values
Surprised by:
the high usage of mobile devices in Brazil
the fact that they cherish their nation this much
the fact that public advertising is against the law
The Johnny Walker and Nissan commercials were very impressive
Hardest part was to find spot-on questions for the Brazilian consumers…
The online discussion groups learned us once again that authenticity and
patriotism are very important
