THE IDEA

The first soap opera to air during the commercial break of Brazil's most-watched soap opera.

Shell approached us with a huge challenge: turning the complex energy transition into a conversation.

We knew soap operas play a massive role in shaping conversations across Brazilian culture. But instead of doing a regular product placement, we created an entire soap opera about the future of energy. It was the first original branded telenovela to air during the commercial break of Brazil’s most-watched prime-time soap opera.

“A very unique creative idea.
We've never done something like this at Shell.”

Américo de Campos Silva, Global Head of Communications & Engagement at Shell

“An unexpected and captivating format: a soap opera”
