August is the month that Brazilian people celebrate Father’s Day. To mark the occasion, Sao Paulo-based agency Propeg created a touching TV commercial that portrays the real story of Cézar Sant’Anna, a father who celebrates Father's Day for the first time with his son.
With scenes complemented by the song “True Colors” (a version of the Cyndi Lauper’s hit), the movie produced by Vapt Filmes, Sao Paulo, highlights striking moments and the daily life of this relationship narrated by the son, who demonstrates all his love, admiration, gratitude and the things he finds most special in his father. In the end, a touching revelation: the most special thing is to know that his father gave birth to him.
The commercial created by Propeg for the Grupo Gay da Bahia–GGB, one of the oldest nonprofits in Brazil that defends LGBT public’s human rights–aims to show that love has no gender and the importance of people fighting for a world without prejudice. That’s the context that Cézar appears in the film, showing that, before being Cézar, he was Beatriz.

Top Spot of the Week: AlmapBBDO, Director Lu Villaca Team On A Show Of Strength For Women and Johnnie Walker
Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.” Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys. “The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
