Innovative mascots promise to revolutionize communication and the experience at gas stations
Petrobras Stations, leaders in the Brazilian fuel market, introduce something new in their advertising campaigns that promises to change the way consumers interact with the brand. Lu and Brás, two charismatic men, arrive to add innovation and relaxation to the day-to-day activities of the stations, offering a more authentic and regionalized approach to marketing actions and a closer connection with the Brazilian public.
Innovation and engagement through mascots
The inclusion of Lu and Brás in the advertising of Petrobras Stations marks a bold strategy by Vibra Energia, the brand's exclusive distributor, aiming to transform its customers' experience. In addition to reinforcing the network's visual identity, the mascots are part of a movement to expand the role of stations, transforming them into centers of convenience and social interaction. The choice of these characters seeks to break the conventional patterns of advertising in the fuel segment, bringing memorable figures that stimulate the engagement of consumers, dealers and teams.
Communication and diversity strategies
The new positioning of Petrobras Stations, encapsulated in the slogan “We have Brazilian energy”, reflects the company's quest to distance itself from the sector's traditional marketing campaigns. Vanessa Gordilho, Vice President of Business, Products and Marketing at Vibra, emphasizes the intention to incorporate playful and magical elements into the campaigns, aiming for a deeper connection with the families who frequent the stations, now seen as extensions of their daily routines. The campaign with the mascots is already showing signs of success, following previous initiatives by the company, such as the viral “dance at the gas station” on TikTok, which promoted diversity and modernization in communication in the segment.
