The brand also became an articulator of experiences, where the Melissa Squad was the most important one directed to the fan base. Over the year we have created a journey of moments of deep sharing and confessions from people who didn't know each other but had some many similarities found in differences, establishing a more realistic relationship amongst lovers and the brand.
2019
From 2018 learnings, we knew Melissa's lovers wanted to have a stronger relationship with the brand. And as 2019 was the brands 40 anniversary, our idea was to make an unforgettable year for the brands history and fans.
For this year, we created a new tour for Melissa Talks and made the purpose of Melissa Squad even more tangible. The subjects from the talks were chosen related to the commercial launches of the year, and the speakers were chosen from the squad itself.
