Audience-Specific Imagery
Customers
Emotional Connection:
The primary goal is to inspire a desire to experience Gostoso. Focus on:
- Joy and Connection: Images of people (diverse groups) enjoying the coffee together: in the kitchen, garden, picnic setting. Emphasize shared moments, laughter, and warmth.
- The Coffee Ritual: Showcase the beauty of brewing and enjoying Gostoso. Natural light, beautiful mugs, simple brewing equipment – create a sense of attainable luxury.
- Brazilian Touches: Subtle hints of Brazil – a woven textile in the background, lush greenery, vibrant but abstract use of the flag colors – to evoke a sense of origin and transport the viewer.
Partners/Distributors
