Challenge
In a market saturated with traditional street races and dominated by global players, our challenge was to introduce an entirely new race format to Brazil: a nighttime relay. We needed to position On—a brand still building awareness among Brazilian consumers—as an innovative player, while engaging press, influencers, and the running community around an unfamiliar concept.
Adding to the complexity, the event also marked the official launch of On Brasil’s Instagram profile. Until then, the brand had communicated only through global handles, so we also had to generate local digital buzz and attract a national audience to a brand-new platform, laying the foundation for long-term community building.
Our approach
We built a 360° communications strategy that combined PR, influencer engagement, and branded content to introduce SquadRace to Brazil and generate digital momentum around the launch of On’s local presence.
Alongside traditional PR efforts — press releases, interviews, and tailored pitches to key running and lifestyle media — we activated seven squads made up of media and influencers, equipping them with On gear to train and race. This created organic, experience-driven content and real-time conversation around the event.
To extend reach, we partnered with three content creators, each strategically selected to connect with a specific audience segment through branded content aligned with On’s positioning in Brazil.
Impact
On the day registrations opened, all 96 squad spots sold out in under 45 minutes. The event attracted an audience of over 1,500 spectators who came to watch the competition live. SquadRace was featured in major media outlets focused on the running scene, officially launched the @on.brasil Instagram profile in style, reaching 10k of followers in just 1 month, and secured wide-reaching, organic digital coverage. We had more than 55 minutes of branded content produced before, during, and after the event and a potential reach of 2.5 million people.
At a business level, we organically achieved:
17 high level profiles activated
55' of branded content
Potential reach of 2.5 M
10K followers in one month

El Eternauta, the first Netflix original series produced entirely in Argentina, was one of the most anticipated cultural releases of the year. Based on the iconic science fiction comic first published in 1957, the story depicts an alien invasion that wipes out humanity through a deadly snowstorm—and the resistance that rises in Buenos Aires.
Amid a wave of brand activations around the launch, Burger King—continuing its five-year partnership with Netflix—chose to show up in its own way: by tapping into the series’ universe with the brand’s signature irreverence and connection to local culture.
Starring Migue Granados, the campaign imagined the last survivor of the deadly storm finding refuge inside a BK restaurant. The activation featured three new limited-edition menu items inspired by extreme survival: Crispy Cheddar King, Bacon King, and Guacamole King, along with a collectible cup. With this creative and locally grounded approach, Burger King carved out a distinctive presence in one of the year’s biggest cultural moments.

This is the story of how quick thinking — and even quicker creativity — turned what could’ve been a brand snub into a viral win, with almost no media spend.
When a major TikTok influencer, Pugliato, blurred the Ramo logo in an unboxing video to avoid “giving free publicity,” the audience didn’t let it slide. Fans instantly recognized the brand and called him out. Instead of ignoring the moment, Ramo jumped in, hijacked the conversation, and turned it into unprecedented organic engagement — proving once again why it’s one of Colombia’s most iconic and loved brands.
