into a new business model through curation and strategic mentoring that will empower new players and their products.” This is how David Diesendruck defines his new company front, one of the most representative of the licensing segment in Brazil.

The news comes with the objective of helping some new and promising projects in the Brazilian audiovisual market, guiding them in the development of a national and international licensing plan for content monetization. “This move is aligned with other institutions that invest in startups and disruptive ideas,” says the managing partner. This initiative comes at a time of high demand for streaming and pay-tv services.

“The Pay-Tv Act from 2012 establishes that channels must show at least 3 hours of domestic content daily.

In addition, there was an expansion of public initiatives to finance this kind of content. However, the licensing pillar ends up being left to the last minute or triggered

We have talent for globally successful cases.

ell known for using irreverence in its advertising campaigns, Burger King® is also investing heavily in promotional

actions with characters. Therefore, we decided to have a chat with the company Marketing director Ariel Grunkraut.

Founded in 1954, the fast food restaurant chain has around 15,000 stores in more than 100 countries.

Present in Brazil since 2004, Burger King® opened its first store at Ibirapuera Shopping Mall, but the operation itself began in 2011 with the acquisition of Burger King Corporation by 3G Capital Group.

Currently, the company has already added more than 11,000 employees and 700 stores in all states. Get to know more about the fast food restaurant chain.
