Vibrant Havaianas Ads Spread Joy of Long Summers, Endless Dancing and Beach Games
Creative by AlmapBBDO positions brand as the shoe of 'More Colorful Days'
As summer begins to draw to a close and give way to fall (in most of the Northern Hemisphere), flip flop brand Havaianas has captured all of the joy, love and excitement of the warmest season in its latest campaign by AlmapBBDO São Paulo.
The TV, digital and out-of-home campaign, which will run in Brazil and later in the U.S and Europe, features a 60-second hero film, which explores the idea that Havaianas have “good energy”—being the shoe of choice for carefree dancing, holidaying, relaxing and hanging out at the beach.
Titled “More colorful days are coming,” the campaign makes much of the brand’s Brazillian roots.
A narrator says: “If everything in the universe attracts energy, just think of all the good energy Havaianas have. Think of all the samba they’ve danced, all the games they’ve played, all the sun they’ve been in.”
The film features a series of vibrant illustrations from artists including Niege Borges, Fiedler, Cris Fora de Compasso, Pedro, Pastel & Besouro, Camila Rosa, Herbbbbie and Fernando Molina.
A symbol of joy
The spot positions the brand as a “magnet for positivity,” said Mariana Rhormens, marketing and communications head for Havaianas Brazil. “[It] conveys the essence of Havaianas as being a magnet of positivity for the good times we experience. We know people could do with some positivity lately and this is what we set out to do here.”
AlmapBBDO’s creative duo, Fernando Duarte and Henrique Del Lama, said the concept behind the ad was to transform the brand into a colorful “symbol of joy.”
Havaianas is a longstanding client of AlmapBBDO, which won Cannes Lions Agency of the Decade this year. Since 2010 the agency has won one Grand Prix as well as 23 gold, 39 silver and 79 bronze Lions.
