“We are immensely proud to have been able to release iconic tracks such as ‘Please Don’t Go’, ‘The Rhythm Of The Night’ e ‘It’s a Rainy Day’ and actively participating in building the career of big names such as Corona, Ice Mc, Alexia and Double You in Brazil. Our sync licensing work in TV Globo soap operas, which is the second biggest TV network in the world, is also one of our most proud achievements.

“Working on a music product means closely observing behavioral patterns and sociocultural expressions that demand strategies which go far beyond the ordinary and conventional. It is essential to cross human sensitivity with data expertise to develop strategies that really make sense in a commercial and promotional plan for a single, album or EP.”
Francisco Júnior
