)( Overview )
Through an integrated PR and digital strategy, we’ve been building On’s connection with the Brazilian audience—reinforcing its performance roots while expanding into fashion and lifestyle culture.
In 2024, On showed up at major events, partnered with influential voices, and dressed prominent figures alongside top fashion brands. This multidimensional approach elevated product awareness and positioned On as a desirable brand across diverse communities—from runners to trendsetters.
With a fully organic strategy, we broadened the conversation beyond sport. Through curated press kits, strategic interviews, fashion features, activations, and relationship-building moments, we delivered meaningful impact in under a year—without relying on paid media.

Challenge
Known primarily for its high-performance products among professional runners, On faced the challenge of building broader brand relevance in Brazil—a market dominated by long-established global competitors. We needed to translate the brand’s Swiss identity in a way that felt authentic and culturally resonant, adapting campaigns and selecting local voices that reflect Brazil’s diversity. At the same time, it was crucial to expand awareness of On’s full product portfolio—positioning its footwear and apparel as desirable not only for elite athletes, but also for everyday sports enthusiasts and lifestyle-driven consumers. Ultimately, the goal was to earn the attention of both media and consumers by making On feel close, aspirational, and relevant across multiple communities.
Our approach
We built our strategy around three key pillars: Brand Reputation, Lifestyle Connection, and Digital PR—each activated through customized tactics to grow awareness and relevance.
We initiated conversations centered on performance, sport, and running, while simultaneously integrating On into fashion, business, and lifestyle media. This dual approach positioned the brand across multiple cultural spaces, organically expanding its visibility and credibility.
To amplify reach, we engaged journalists, stylists, creators, and athletes—both professional and amateur—with strong influence in their communities. We also introduced On to celebrities and public figures through curated seedings, stylist partnerships, and select fashion productions. As a result, the brand became recognized not only for performance, but for its emotional and aspirational appeal.
Impact
Everybody is talking about On in Brazil. Our work generated over 290 media articles, reaching more than 115 million people and driving R$27 million in earned media value—the equivalent of unpaid media exposure.
On social media, branded content surpassed 168 million views, impacting more than 53 million people and expanding On’s visibility far beyond the running community.

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.

Historically, Burger King played the role of the cheeky challenger to McDonald’s, a second-place contender that earned its spot by poking fun, stirring the pot, and boldly standing apart. With a distinct attitude and often superior quality, this rivalry captured the attention of marketing and advertising enthusiasts around the world.
But in Argentina, that dynamic had faded over time. The category had become commoditized, with endless promotions, and brands shifted toward tactical messaging due to economic instability. Also Mostaza emerged as a strong competitor. Combined with high marketing budgets that didn’t match consumer spending power, Burger King had lost some of its irreverent edge and its challenger voice in communications.
