Keep Walking, Brazil

Danielle — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 07:29:01 +0000

“Rock Giant” is the newest Johnnie Walker campaign, made by NEOGAMA exclusive for the Brazilian market. “The giant is no longer asleep”, sublimes the particular and negative conscious that “Brazil will always be a country of the future”, as an unacceptable perspective. The production employed 420 people, 6 days of filming, 11 kilometers of filmed tape, and takes as part of the Giant the Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio, used as a symbol, regarding the national critics in contrast with the motivational international view and expectations about the contexts of the World Cup in 2014, and the Olympic Games in 2016.
