Brazilian Sole
 
BBDO New York crafted the first global advertising push for the hot Brazilian flip-flop brand, Havaianas. The campaign, which launched in mid-Spring and includes print ads, web-based animated shorts and murals, aims to build on the fun, colorful and passionate qualities that the Havaianas brand is already associated with in Brazil. Of particular note are the BBDO-designed, building-sized murals featuring giant, 3-D Havaianas thongs. The campaign carries over the spirit of Havaianas' Brazilian advertising, which is handled by a BBDO New York affiliate, Almap BBDO.
