Brazilian beer brand cleverly enlists Brazilian street artist. Fails to put its brand logo high up enough on the poster.
BigShinyThing wrote about Speto a while back. Marrying his visually arresting style to the Brahma brand is pretty smart. What’s not so cunning is putting the logo in a place where piqued street art fans can paper over it… Debranded Brahma/Speto poster spotted on the Kingsland Road (the logo is under the flyposter in the bottom right hand corner). Great ad for Speto though…
