The creative strategy impacted visitors right at their arrival. The idea was a 1/3-filled water cup handed at the entrance. Banco Real’s water cup made of recycled plastic carried a message of awareness saying: “This amount of water is an out-of-fashion trend” – an alert to immoderate consumption and water scarcity to make people reflect on the issue and on their personal attitudes. Additionally, the Bank’s signature created for the event provoked the public with the phrase: “Dress yourself with attitude.”

An investment of less then R$10,000 had a striking result. Besides the visibility, Real’s cup aroused discussions on the theme, inside and outside the 75,000-visitors event.
