BECK’S | BECK’S FREQUENCY

Can a sound frequency make the flavor of any beer taste more bitter?

Studies from Harvard and Oxford University shows that it’s possible to alter the perception of taste through sound.

Sounds at higher frequencies make food and drinks taste less bitter, while sounds at lower frequencies bring out the bitter flavor.

In partnership with big names in electronic music, nine tracks were produced using these two frequencies, for you to listen to when you don't have any Beck's around.

TIDAL X USHER | DON’T LOOK AWAY

The world’s first music video that demands your attention

While social injustice and racial profiling keep taking lives, society keeps looking away.

For the launch of recording artist Usher's new song 'Chains', an anthem advocating for unarmed victims of violence, we created a an interactive site using face recognition technology.

When fans visit chains.tidal.com, they must hold the gaze of victims of social injustice to hear the track. If the viewer looks away, the music stops - demanding that they face the problem as the first step towards change.

BECK’S | STARTER PACK

A unique way to evolve you tastedbuds for Beck’s bitterness.

Beck’s is the bitterest beer of its category.
All because its International Bitterness Unit,
or IBU, is 20, higher than any other beer in the same price range.

And brazillians weren’t used to something that bitter.
So, we decided to help a whole country
unlock their tastebuds for Beck’s bitterness.

We’ve created Beck’s Starter Pack. A special 6-pack
that came with lighter beers from the competition
in gradual IBU scale, to unlock
their tastebuds for Beck’s bitterness.

The pack sold out in 48 hours.

ELMA CHIPS | SEND ME A PIX PROMO

Creating a character that thought brazillians how to make profit out of snacks

PIX is a new money transfer system similiar to Venmo, where the money hits your account instantly. It has even become a meme in Brazil, with people asking celebrities on Twitter to send a PIX to pay for pizzas and other random things.

That's why Elma Chips - Pepsico's snack division - created the Send Me a Pix Promo, where people just had to buy snacks for a chance to receive instant PIX money prizes.

Concepting for this campaign, we thought to ourselves: if you buy a $1 Snack and can win up to $200.00, that's a great investmet.

So, we created a financial coach - a profession that was blowing in YouTube at the time - to teach consumers how to profit from snacks by entering the promo.

KFC | WEDDINGS

Put a wing on it

Many people have a special relationship with KFC. They’re places where they met their first crush, locations of first dates and more recently, a pitstop between wedding ceremony and reception.

This made us think. If people are already hitting KFC on their wedding day... then why shouldn’t we marry them as well?

Soon, we'll wed the first happy couple in front of family, friends and of course, the Colonel himself.
