Describe the challenges and key objectives

Brastemp had never promoted this programme. The biggest challenge was to do this with a low budget. The objective was to show consumers that Brastemp does its part when it comes to preserving the environment, which can be a decisive element when consumers are choosing what brand to purchase. We also wanted to increase the number of partnerships for the project.



Describe the brief from the client

To promote the home appliances brand Brastemp’s recycling programme at the point of sales, which has already recycled more than 34 tons of packaging. This initiative collects the brand’s product’s packaging from consumers’ homes.



Describe how you arrived at the final design

First we decided to use only recycled material. For this reason we decided to transform Brastemp’s packaging in posters. They were all handmade. After that, we thought about a straightforward and impacting way of showing how recycling is crucial for the preservation of our forests.



Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The piece drew people’s attention at the point of sales, was mentioned in ecology sites and blogs and contributed to a positive brand image for Brastemp
