In the 1920s, people flocked to speakeasies—those secret bars—to have fun, meet new faces, and dodge Prohibition. The vibe was so great that they kept coming back, forging lasting connections. Today, at Speakeasy — Knowledge Brokers - Knowledge Brokers, we create that same connection. Each sprint adds to a consistent construction of our clients' brands. That’s exactly how we feel about our work with Abbott Laboratories—every project helps build a solid, ever-evolving brand in the life and health business. #Gigsofthenewtimes #CreativeHub #InnovationInHealth #EvolvingBrands #SpeakeasyVibe #HealthcareMarketing 🔥🚀

In the spirit of the inventive speakeasies of the 1920s, we’ve been mixing and matching talents from all walks of life to draw the best ideas out of their brilliant minds, so much so that we never got to celebrate and thank you. 5 years of focusing on what matters—the ideas—and not on agendas, egos, or bureaucracy. This liberating feeling is something we can all take pride in. In our Oreo speakeasy, we used our talent-blending power to bring playful ideas to their playground. Thank you, Mondelēz International. Working with you is so much fun it doesn’t feel like work. #Gigsofthenewtimes #Innovation #CreativeHub 🔥🚀

Inspired by the hidden speakeasies of Prohibition, we've been moving fast and quietly. It's high time we celebrated and thanked you. For 5 years, we've been refining our top-notch talent network from around the world, creating innovative ideas for all kinds of brands. This global reach is something we’re proud of at Speakeasy — Knowledge Brokers. In our Danone assembly, we were trusted our open talent model to ferment more innovation into their Activia brand strategy (pun intended). Thanks, Danone, and your trillions of live lactobacilli. Here’s to the next 5 years of powerful creativity and secret toasts to everyone who’s been part of this amazing journey! #Gigsofthenewtimes #Innovation #CreativeHub 🔥🚀

Like the secret speakeasy gems of the 1920s, we've been immersed in our work with a rapid intensity that we haven’t had the chance to celebrate and thank you. For 5 years, we've been creating and fine-tuning ways of working to generate innovative ideas for a diverse range of brands at lightning speed. This frictionless and agile way of working is something we can all take pride in here at Speakeasy — Knowledge Brokers. In our Burger King soirées, we’ve generated impactful ideas and tackled everything from product innovation to promotional activation. Thank you, Burger King. We dig your flame-fast speed and relentless drive. #Gigsofthenewtimes #Innovation #CreativeHub 🔥🚀

Sexta-feira passada tivemos o prazer de divulgar com a marca CLEAR a nomeação de seus novos embaixadores: Vinicius Junior e Erling Haaland. Dois jogadores que mereciam uma divulgação em grande estilo! Com teaser e revelação utilizando projeção em um painel colossal (27x12 mts) em plena Av. Atlântica em Copacabana. A divulgação dos novos embaixadores de CLEAR no Rio de Janeiro repercutiu internacionalmente, e foi destaque até na mídia Espanhola. Este é o resultado de mais um projeto impecável orquestrado pelo super team de CLEAR - Bruna Lettiere, Carla Forte, Gabriel Sá de Alencar, Ana Kuhn, Maria Clara Figueiró Santos, Tiago Barros - Pessoal, obrigado pela confiança e a boa vibe. Projeto que teve o suporte dos nossos parceiros, especialistas de comunicação/marketing esportivo da LIGA Agência (Guilherme Palenzuela, Russel Dias e Alan Mendes). E execução perfeita da Visualfarm.

Quem poderia imaginar que seríamos capazes de planejar, criar e executar todas essas ações em menos de 4 meses. Eu e meus sócios na Speakeasy — Knowledge Brokers, Marcus Kawamura e Marcello Magalhaes temos muito orgulho desse projeto, mas sabemos que só foi possível graças ao apoio irrestrito do time Unilever, Carla Forte, Tiago Barros, Ana Kuhn, Gabriel Sá de Alencar, Maria Clara Figueiró Santos. E não podemos deixar de agradecer outro time de craques que esteve ao nosso lado em todos os momentos, com o Guilherme Palenzuela, Russel Dias, Alan Mendes, Angelo Martins e Thiago Alves. Pela quantidade de clubes que têm nos procurado buscando parceria para a criação de ações diferenciadas, acredito que cumprimos nosso papel. Estamos prontos e animados para os próximos grandes momentos!
"Por que não entrar no Paulistão?" Foi com esse questionamento, no fim do ano passado, que Clear começou aquela que seria uma das maiores e mais reconfortantes aventuras dos últimos tempos. Conseguimos ter propriedades inovadoras e ainda assim ativá-las para além do que esperávamos inicialmente. Tivemos nossa primeira ação de impacto no clássico entre Corinthians e São Paulo, com 1.500 pontos de caspa sendo combatidos pelo nosso Squad Clear em pouquíssimos minutos. Associamos a defesa contra a caspa de Clear e a excelência do produto que a marca representa à performance dos goleiros, que premiamos a cada rodada e ao final do Paulistão. Ainda contamos com a Barbearia Clear nas quartas de final e nova ação no gramado na primeira final entre Santos e Palmeiras. E em todos esses momentos contamos com branded-contents em parceria com a CazéTV! Foram três meses de muito trabalho, mas com resultados que nos enchem de orgulho! Agradeço, em primeiro lugar, a todo o time Unilever pelo que realizamos juntos! Sem vocês, nada disso seria possível. Agradecimentos especiais também à Speakeasy, à MField, à Initiative e à LiveMode parceiros com os quais conseguimos fazer tudo isso acontecer. Que venham os próximos grandes momentos!

Thanks for posting, Branding in Asia. It is exciting to have developed this amazing project with my partner Marcus Kawamura at Speakeasy — Knowledge Brokers, a modern strategic and creative hub for the new times. Thank you, Zespri International and The Shed 28 , for the amazing opportunity!
“People are far more disciplined when it comes to taking their daily medications,” said Marcello Magalhaes, Speakeasy founder and chief strategy officer. “One reason why is a low-tech invention that’s been in use for almost two centuries: the pillbox, which an International Electronic Journal of Medicine study found improves medication adherence by as much as 68%.
