The Sala de Pesquisa Campaign Emphasizes the Importance of Listening

The campaign clearly exhibits the importance they place on this, replacing the mouth with the forehead for a morphed version of a face.

Stopping you dead in your tracks with its peculiar imagery, these Sala De Pesquisa ads will make you stop and think for a moment.
