To illustrate that *"Some things get better with time"*, wine brand **A Bela Sintra** released this campaign that compares things over a longer period of time. The print ads consist of two light hearted prints and two war-related ads.

We have an ugly baby peacock in January before he becomes a breathtaking beauty come July, and a comparison between Saint Tropez in 1950 (with a picture of a woman in a swimming suit that covers most her body) and 2007 with a topless shot. Then we have more serious ads with one showing a picture of Adolf Hitler in 1939 and another blank one in 1946 indicating his death. The last one is a mushroom shaped nuclear explosion in 1945 compared to a tasty looking mushroom vegetable in 2007.

The campaign was created by Giovanni + DraftFcb ad agency in SÃ£o Paulo, Brazil with creative directors Adilson Xavier, Ricardo John and Sidney AraÃºjo, and art director / Copywriter Sidney AraÃºjo.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Long-term Transformations:** The campaign highlights the positive changes that occur over time, creating opportunities for brands to explore and celebrate long-term transformations in their marketing efforts.
- **Contrasting Visuals:** The use of contrasting visuals in the campaign prompts brands to consider incorporating visual storytelling techniques to capture the audience's attention and convey compelling narratives.
- **Historical Reflections:** The historical comparisons showcased in the campaign inspire brands to leverage historical references to evoke nostalgia, foster connections with the past, and craft engaging narratives.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Advertising and Marketing:** The campaign's creative approach presents opportunities for advertising and marketing professionals to experiment with innovative ways of storytelling and visual communication.
- **Food and Beverage:** The campaign's juxtaposition of a nuclear explosion in 1945 with a visually appealing mushroom vegetable in 2007 suggests opportunities for the food and beverage industry to explore the themes of transformation and improvement through product visuals.
- **Fashion and Beauty:** The comparison of an ugly baby peacock in January evolving into a breathtaking beauty in July offers opportunities for the fashion and beauty industry to embrace the concept of transformative journeys and highlight the positive evolution of their products or services.
