To change this perception, the BSCA - Brazil Specialty Coffee Association commissioned 9branding to design a solution. We've put together a thematic lounge where business and pleasure were walking hand-in-hand, and where touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound were being stimulated inputs all the time.

And as a sponsor, Telefonica had great R.O.I. For instance, 16,000 women (world's record in 2001) and 110,000 Botafogo fans at Maracanã stadium attended one soccer match alone - which was the record in Brazil and in the world.

We invited Coca-Cola and McDonald's to design the first-ever double-facing restaurant at Morumbi stadium. Meaning, the restaurant would work both during soccer matches, with concession windows facing the street and to the interior of the stadium, and facing only the street the rest of the days – which they have done successfully. The implementation depended on the club
