EDITORIAL CONCEPT / NOT A CAMPAIGN STILL24

PERSONALITIES.
COLOUR AS A POINT OF VIEW.

01 / CONTEXT

A PRODUCT WITH A CULTURAL QUESTION.

ABSURDA’s Calixto PowerColors eyewear became the starting point for a portrait series about colour, style and everyday life. Developed before BRABA, this project forms part of founder Mateus Alterio’s creative track record.

02 / PROBLEM

MAKE COLOUR MEAN MORE THAN A PRODUCT OPTION.

How could a colourful eyewear collection become a subject people could recognise in their own lives? The creative reading of the brief was to connect product expression with personal expression.

03 / DECISION

LET PEOPLE CARRY THE IDEA.

Invite 24 personalities from different creative fields and follow moments from their daily lives. The recurring question, “Qual a cor do seu estilo?” (“What colour is your style?”), gave different stories a shared editorial frame.

04 / SYSTEM

ONE PREMISE. MULTIPLE HUMAN WORLDS.

Short portraits linked colour with identity, taste and work. A chef’s kitchen, a designer’s practice and a musician’s world could each express the same brand premise without repeating the same script.

05 / EXECUTION

A SERIES, NOT A SINGLE ENDORSEMENT.

The archive includes Helena Rizzo as episode 18, Karin Feller as episode 15 and Pitty as episode 9. The approximately one-minute format made the question repeatable across personalities while keeping each portrait specific.

06 / EVIDENCE

FILMS AND INDEPENDENT CIRCULATION.

Original campaign uploads and contemporary references document the series. Pitty fan blogs also circulated campaign material in November 2011. This supports an observation of circulation within an existing fan community, not a claim that the campaign created one.

07 / LEARNING

THE PERSON WAS PART OF THE FORMAT.

The strategic lesson we draw today: a personality can bring a lived world to a brand idea, not only visibility. A repeatable question can hold a series together while leaving room for individual expression.

EVIDENCE BOUNDARY

WHAT THIS CASE DOES NOT CLAIM.

No verified sales uplift, reach total, audience return or brand fandom result is available. We do not claim to have invented influencer marketing. The evidence here is the creative format, its published films and documented circulation.

Campaign stills will be added when original frames can be recovered and checked. The typographic cover is an editorial treatment, not a screenshot.
