Brand Identity, Social Media Strategy & Content Creation.
Brand Unification
An in-depth brand identity for Marina de Olhão, bridging its sub-brands into a single, cohesive system. From digital platform implementation to ongoing marketing strategy and content creation, across the full range of services the marina has to offer.
Brand: Marina de Olhão
Sector: Nautic Tourism
Title: "One Identity, Multiple Voices"
Marina de Olhão is more than a marina. It is where Olhão's fishing tradition meets the future of nautical tourism in the Algarve. Nestled in the heart of the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, it brings together a modern, sustainable nautical complex and the Marina Ria Center, a space where restaurants, bars, stores and experiences share the same shore. Our role was to bring all of this under one single, coherent brand that could speak for the whole.
The Marina Ria Center and the Porto de Recreio de Olhão each had an identity of their own, but shared no common thread. That is where we stepped in, creating a parent brand for Marina de Olhão: the geographical and symbolic home that brings both entities under one coherent identity, while each retains the freedom to function independently. This same logic extended to the digital platforms, where a unified social media presence and website became a single point of entry for everything the marina has to offer.
We act as the bridge between Marina de Olhão and its diverse audiences: locals, tourists, marina users, and media. Through consistent content creation for social media, press relations, and strategic storytelling, we promote both the Ria Center and the marina's nautical services while strengthening the connection with Olhão's community. Our role extends beyond communication; we're the voice that brings together everything the marina represents, translating its offer into meaningful engagement across all touchpoints.

Living Heritage
Sé de Faro has stood at the heart of the city since the 13th century. A National Monument, the seat of the Diocese of the Algarve, and one of the most visited cultural landmarks in the south of Portugal. The story was already there. Our work was to express it, with consistency and without losing its essence. A new visual identity, a dedicated website and a signage system that finally gave one of Portugal's most significant heritage institutions the presence it deserved.
Brand: Sé de Faro
Sector: Heritage
Title: “History, Carved in Identity”
A heritage institution carries a particular weight: history as identity, tradition as constraint. The challenge was not to reinvent the Sé de Faro, but to give it a contemporary voice without erasing the centuries behind it. To maintain a respectful and careful dialogue with everything it represents, while creating a visual system that could travel across digital media, print, and signage with the same clarity and authority. A solid, lasting brand that reflects its role, religious and historical, in the story of Portugal.
Looking at the Sé's façade, we distilled its key components into their most essential forms, adding stones framing the bell tower to represent the eleven Baroque and Gothic chapels within, turning a structural detail into a mark of everything the cathedral holds inside. The color palette was drawn directly from the cathedral itself—the warm tones of the stone that supports Sé de Faro and the distinctive green of the bells. Typography and iconographic work followed the same direction, balancing a modern image with a deeply historical one. The icon is a graphic representation of a symbol carved throughout the cathedral's stone, representing the Order of the Temple (Templars) and the Order of Christ, dating back to the reconquest of Faro in 1249 by King Afonso III.
One of the main goals was to create visual consistency across every format, from physical signage to online communication, including a dedicated website. A cleaner, more unified image for the Sé de Faro made that possible, consolidating its identity not only as a cultural landmark, but as a symbol of faith and a reference point in Portuguese culture. With that came a significantly stronger influx of visitors and, for the first time, a presence that truly matches the weight of what the Sé represents.

Storytelling, Rebranding, Label Design, Content Creation & Social Media Strategy
Two Chairs. One Story.
Quintal das Ilhas is a craft beer brand born in Faro Island, Algarve, built on friendship, a shared passion for artisanal brewing and the sun-soaked lifestyle of the south. Two friends, two beach chairs and a conversation that never really ended, all of it bottled into a brand. We rebuilt that identity from the ground up, and the impact showed: a social media following that keeps climbing, collaborations/partnership with restaurants, bars and retails.
Brand: Quintal das Ilhas
Sector: Craft Beer Sector
Title: "Faz a tua praia."
Quintal das Ilhas didn't start out as you see it today. The original name and branding hinted at the idea of a beer born on an island, but it needed to grow, to reach new horizons. It needed a more authentic image, one that captured the "life is a beach party" lifestyle, the warmth and the spirit the founders actually wanted to convey. Younger, more versatile, more laid-back, with a wave-riding, sun-soaked groove to it. And most importantly, it needed to find its people. From a strategic social media presence to appearances at conferences, fairs and festivals, we helped Quintal das Ilhas get the recognition it deserved.
We shaped this brand around two chairs and everything they stand for. Not a logo trick, not a gimmick, a real moment between two friends on a beach, beers in hand, watching the horizon. That image became the foundation for everything. We studied the craft beer landscape in the Algarve and across Portugal, understood the audience that a brand like this deserves, and from that came a clear path. Every collaboration with a restaurant or bar gets its own version of the chairs, reflecting the character of each establishment. Every in-house beer gets chairs that tell the story of that specific brew. The result is a visual system that grows with every label, every partnership, every story, without ever losing what makes it Quintal das Ilhas.

The impossible space between worlds.
Set out to convey more than a restaurant, a story built from memories and lived experiences, we worked hand in hand with the chef and founder through everything. From visual identity and narrative to interior concept and tone of voice. From photography and video to the choice of tableware, lighting and uniforms. Every detail carries the same intention. And you can sense Brecha in all of it. This showcase reveals how that narrative found its way into every corner of the brand.
Brand: Brecha
Sector: Food & Hospitality
Title: “Entra. Sente. Fica.”
Building a restaurant brand that lives in the impossible space between fine dining and the everyday, without falling into either. Brecha's identity is rooted in memory, heritage and borderless technique, and translating a concept this layered into a cohesive experience across every touchpoint was the core challenge. Our approach was to let the story breathe through everything: from naming and narrative to menu copywriting, space curation and visual production, positioning Brecha clearly apart from the wave of superficial "gastrocultural" restaurants and finding the audience that deserved it as much as it deserved them.
We crafted this brand around real gastrocultural experiences. Purposeful, honest and grounded, without ever making it feel out of reach. Brecha is the porous border where two worlds touch without erasing each other. That impossibility had to live in the identity too. Every visual choice was made to feel like a pause, like a sliver of light coming through. Earthy, grounded and quietly present. Building a brand is never just about logos. We studied the market, analysed the hospitality landscape in the north of Portugal, and researched the audience that a place like this deserves. From that came a clear path, a strategy built not only for social media, but for real life, including events that further elevated the gastrocultural experience and built genuine connections between Brecha and everything around it.

"In the geography of the soul, brecha is the porous border where two worlds touch without cancelling each other out. The place that shouldn't exist, but does. We inhabit the impossible space between untouchable fine dining and the humble neighbourhood tavern. Technical rigour without suffocating formality. Exceptional produce without elitism. Attentive service without artificial distance."

Creating a visual narrative that showcases both the commercial and artistic dimensions of Estúdio 11 while revealing the personal stories behind the collective. Our challenge was to balance the promotional needs of the studio with authentic storytelling that captures the essence of their sustainable, heritage-driven approach to art.
We developed a three-episode documentary structure that progressively deepens the audience's understanding of the collective:
Episode 1: "A Identidade" (The Identity)
The commercial face of Estúdio 11 - introducing their services, workspace, and artistic practices. Functions as both documentary and promotional content.
Episode 2: "Quem" (Who)

Entirely edited from the final group interview, this episode explores the dynamics of their collaboration, relationship, and collective creative process without additional visual elements.
Through four strategic interviews (three individual, one collective), we developed a storytelling framework that reveals both the individual personalities and collective synergy of Estúdio 11. The documentary progression moves from external presentation to internal truth, creating an authentic portrait of artistic collaboration, serving as promotion for the collective's work.
