# Graffitied Flip Flop Ads The Havaianas Brazil Campaign Addresses Why Locals are Always So Happy By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/havaianas-brazil References: [adeevee](http://www.adeevee.com/2014/07/havaianas-whey-do-they-smile-so-much-print/) The [Havaianas Brazil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maximalist-summer-flipflops) ad campaign may put a smile on people's eyes for its colorful visuals alone, yet accompanying the street art-like illustrations are blurbs about Brazilians. Addressing the perpetual smiles and happy moods, it boils it down to three facts: they live in a country people dream to vacation in, they know how to party and relax not to mention that they never suffer from a stone in their shoes. Conceived and executed by AlmapBBDO, an ad agency based in São Paulo, Brazil, the Havaianas Brazil ad campaign was art directed by Bruno Prosperi with creative direction by Renato Simoes and Luiz Sanches. The images were vibrantly illustrated by Pirecco and Estudiorama with photography by Mariana Valverde. The Havaianas Brazil campaign itself will put people into good moods. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Colorful Visual Advertising:** Opportunity for brands to utilize vibrant visuals in their ad campaigns to capture consumers' attention and evoke positive emotions. - **Storytelling in Advertising:** Potential for brands to create ad campaigns that tell a compelling story, connecting with consumers on a deeper level and building emotional connections. - **Localized Advertising:** Opportunity for brands to tailor their ad campaigns to specific regions or cultures, increasing relatability and resonance with their target audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for ad agencies to incorporate street art-like illustrations and storytelling techniques into their campaigns, bringing a fresh and vibrant approach to traditional advertising. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with artists and illustrators to create visually striking and unique ad campaigns that resonate with consumers and differentiate their brand. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Potential for tourism and hospitality companies to showcase the unique experiences and positive emotions associated with a specific destination or culture, attracting travelers seeking authentic and joyful experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maximalist Summer Flip-Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maximalist-summer-flipflops.md) - [Animated Footwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-your-feet.md) - [Collaborative Premium Flip-Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-sandal.md) - [3d-Printed Collab Flip Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flipflops.md) - [Floral Flip Flop Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveshackfancy-x-havaianas.md) - [Ergonomic 3D-Printed Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flip-flops.md) - [Comfort-Focused Footwear Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-spring-2024-campaign.md) - [Fast Food-Inspired Beachy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-burnett-italia.md) - [Authentic Footwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-wonderfully-unordinary.md)
