Figueira da Serra
Branding Film
Purpose:
To translate the singular identity of Figueira da Serra into a strategic audiovisual project that went far beyond a traditional brand film. The objective was to communicate the pousada’s architectural concept, humanized hospitality, and attention to detail through a rich, multi-format narrative designed to strengthen brand positioning and deepen emotional connection with the audience.
Creative Team:
The project was led by Bruno Carvalho (Director of Photography) and Lucia Cavalheiro (Creative Director), with a strong focus on storytelling, visual consistency, and strategic use of audiovisual formats.
Strategic Production Concept:
This project combined brand storytelling, architectural photography, social media content, and original serialized formats. The approach was designed to showcase not only the spaces, but also the people, ideas, and values that define Figueira da Serra.
Architecture as Narrative:
A key pillar of the project was the documentation of nine different accommodation categories, each designed and signed by a different architect. Beyond photography, a dedicated web series was created in which each architect appears inside the suite they designed, explaining concepts, materials, inspirations, and design choices. This format positioned architecture as a core brand asset and reinforced the pousada’s uniqueness within Campos do Jordão.
Hospitality Web Series:
In parallel, a second web series was produced focusing on the pousada itself and the people behind the experience. From the owner to the front desk team, each episode highlighted individual roles, daily routines, and the shared purpose of delivering authentic, attentive hospitality. This human-centered narrative added depth, credibility, and emotional resonance to the brand.
Cinema with Strategy:
The branding film served as the central piece, unifying architecture, nature, and human presence through cinematic language and sensory storytelling. All additional formats were strategically designed to expand the narrative across platforms while maintaining coherence and positioning.
Final Impact:
Figueira da Serra now holds a comprehensive and highly differentiated audiovisual ecosystem. The project positioned the pousada as a design-driven, people-focused destination, supported by premium visual assets and original content formats that elevate brand perception and create long-term value across digital platforms and marketing channels.
