Buscofem: My Pain Matters

Buscofem Digital Ad - My Pain Matters

CHALLENGE: Buscofem is a leading brand of menstrual cramps drug in Brazil. Despite their leadership on the market, we were challenged with further increasing brand awareness and sales numbers, while also turning Buscofem into an important player in the digital environment, converting new users and engaging customers to increase loyalty. /SOLUTION So, we’ve created a movement called #mypainmatters to bring women’s pain to light, with especial focus on menstrual cramps. Using data collected through social listening and a national survey of Brazilian women (in partnership with the Sophia Mind institute), we discovered that most women suffer through menstrual cramps. Most importantly, they’ve had to miss out on activities, school or work because of their menstrual symptoms and have had their pain dismissed by others. We gave these women a voice by writing a song using the data collected in the survey, as well as creating an interactive website with key research findings, bringing light to a real social problem, at work and in their personal lives. We’ve launched the music video for the My Pain Matters song on International Women’s Day along with other materials, and used the support of bloggers and influencers to help spread the word. /RESULTS Buscofem has now the biggest fanpage in the healthcare segment according to SocialBakers® and, despite a challenging landscape, sales have increased 19% during the campaign resulting in 68% of market share in the menstrual pain category. The campaign reached over 75% of 18 to 34 year old women, 40% through paid media and the other 35% through word of mouth.

Air Partner Integrated Ad - Air Partner Launches New Unifying Brand Created by StormBrands

Global aviation services group Air Partner has launched a new brand identity that unifies its wide range of services, created by global branding agency StormBrands. Through merger and acquisition, Air Partner had grown rapidly, bringing together multiple companies with individual identities, naming structures and cultures including group charter, private jet, freight, air evacuation and safety consulting and training. StormBrands worked closely with the global leadership team at Air Partner, to create the unifying brand purpose of ‘delivering the extraordinary to fly our world’. This idea brought all elements of the business together under a single cohesive global employee engagement approach, go-to-market strategy and digital-first brand that would enable more effective customer focus and cross-selling of services along with improved marketing efficiencies. Born in the golden age of aviation travel, Air Partner began as a flying school in 1961. Since then, the business had diversified its capabilities but needed a revitalised brand identity that would unite its services. The new identity plays on the idea of aviation as ‘extraordinary’ to help Air Partner adapt to the changing industry and demonstrate how the brand will behave in the digital world. The creative concept modernises the Air Partner brand while celebrating its heritage. A new digital-first approach enables extraordinary experiences for customers, with a futureproof design to support continued growth. Anchored by a graphic language of triangles, the identity references birds flying in formation evoking a ‘stronger together’ ethos of shared customer focus. Visually, the logomark continues the triangular motif uniting an ‘A’ and ‘P’ to suggest partnership within a flexible network. The colour palette borrows from the changing narrative of the sky from sunrise to sunset and StormBrands commissioned photography to traverse geographies, time zones and subject matter to capture a world of flight that never sleeps, both on the ground and above it. “We’ve united the brand equities from all of Air Partner’s services and translated them into a cohesive visual system that showcases its expertise,” says Mark Chatelier, Executive Creative Director at StormBrands. “Bringing together the full range of acquired identities meant we had to go through a complex trademarking review before landing on the final identity for Air Partner,” he continues. With a history of creating effective brand identities for complex organisations in rapidly changing markets, StormBrands designed every aspect of the brand identity to capture the spirit of the extraordinary while reflecting emotional relationships travellers have with the air. Julia Timms, Chief Marketing Officer at Air Partner says, “StormBrands advised us on a journey of critical importance as we’ve grown into new markets and diversified our customer offering from aviation charter to safety consultancy and training. They’ve helped us navigate complex leadership, organisational, customer and brand issues to build a sustainable vision for our business enabling us to become a more purpose led brand. “This has been matched with a great creative mind and eye for superb execution for both internal and external audiences. As a result, we’ve adopted a differentiating leadership position that communicates the brand in a distinctive way, leaving us well set up to build our brand into the future.” Operating around the world, including areas where flights can mean the difference between life or death – extracting people or delivering medicine – the brand repositioning aims to unite Air Partner’s internal culture and client-facing tone of voice, helping it to stand out within the highly competitive aviation industry. “In developed economies, jumping on planes has become second nature, but whether we’re flying a Premiership football team or delivering aid to the islands hit by Storm Dorian, there’s an incredibly complex process behind even short haul flights that must be concisely managed to ensure the safety of passengers, staff and cargo,” says Timms. At its core Air Partner is a service organisation, so a world-class customer service ethos is vital. This launch is part of a continuing relationship with StormBrands and marks the rollout of Air Partner’s new brand repositioning. The next phase will include the brand’s evolved digital presence to continue delivering an extraordinary experience to its customers.

Hello Hub free Electricity and data Hub: Hate Unplugged


PR, Online
Hello Hub

According to recent studies (Cambridge, at European Union level) The Czech Republic has been recorded as one of the most racist and nationalistic countries in Europe. If not in the world. Living here, we can say that the people are mostly accepting and nice. Unfortunately, people aren’t quite as nice online. 

The internet has become a breeding ground for awful, hateful messages, made worse by anonymity. Usually made toward those who are most vulnerable – the refugees. So, Nadace Varietas – the Czech NGO for an open society and supporting the integration of the foreigners decided to do something to challenge and change mentalities. “Hate Unplugged” – a project that evaluates all the negative energy wasted online (by writing hateful posts) and transforming it into positive by donating free electricity and data to the people in need (the exact people that were targeted by that hate online). ?

Using a mixture of social listening and complex sentiment analysis tools, we monitored the internet for months, recording the most hateful comments and negative energy, and calculating how much energy was wasted in the process. Applying a simple algorithm (how much a human being consumes as energy in a hateful manifestation + the energy consumed by the device he used, multiplied by the number of hateful post we found every day = 259 300 watts per year! 

We used the equivalent of this “wasted” negative energy to donate it to the people in need – the Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda, where we’ve build Hello Hubs (hubs that’ll give free electricity and data) with the help of the Hello World organisation.
