FutureBrand São Paulo Unites the Brazilian Amazon With New Branding Campaign

Transforming satellite imagery of the Amazon basin into expressive typography, FutureBrand São Paulo anchors the branding for a new Brazilian tourism and development initiative to the spectacular waterways that define it.

Co-created with artists from the nine states of the Brazilian Legal Amazon, the campaign was developed for Embratur (Brazilian Tourist Board) and economic development initiative RAI (Integrated Amazonian Routes).
 

“We present a solid brand that clearly illustrates the richness, diversity and vibrancy of the Amazon.”

 
Andrade Bastos, partner/CDO at FutureBrand São Paulo: “Across the world, many of the most visited and desired tourist destinations have strong, well-established brands. The Amazon has always had this potential, but it had never brought together, in a structured way.

“Now, we present a solid brand that clearly illustrates the richness, diversity and vibrancy of the Amazon, bringing together its main elements and the power of the entire region through a single concept and design.”

Bruno Reis, director of international marketing at Embratur: “Tourism, in this context, is a strategic tool to drive a sustainable development model based on job and income generation for local communities, help position the region at the center of the global bio-economy, and strengthen Amazonian micro and small entrepreneurs.”
