JWT Brazil, Coca-Cola No Sugar and Marvel Studios have assembled to craft a great new spot that ties in perfectly of Avengers: Endgame. And like Thanos’ snap, the work affects the universe, but in a positive way this time.
Mirroring the story of powerful women heroes in Endgame the commercial’s protagonist is a young woman, who manages to act like a heroine without ceasing to be an ordinary person, was how Coca-Cola No Sugar managed to uplift the fans’ experience.
Director Rodrigo Saavedra was helped by a crew of over 300 in production alone and only six weeks between approval of the script and final launch date on April 12th, the realization of this project was only possible thanks to the conjoined efforts of the two brands working closely every step of the way.

“Since the brand has always been associated with a young audience, connecting with Marvel Studios and with one its most anticipated films this year only reinforces this connection and helps us tell new stories to our consumers”, says Poliana Sousa, marketing director of Coca-Cola Brasil.
Ricardo John, CCO and president of J. Walter Thompson Brasil, added, “The real story we’re telling here is how two absurdly colossal brands like Coca-Cola and Marvel Studios managed to create such a great and deep work synergy to the point of developing together, a 100% balanced story between the two co-protagonists’ interests.”
Saavedra, who used to be a creative at Mother London had this to say, “The greatest challenge in this spot for me was to get the tone right. There’s a certain amount of humor in a teenager chasing a bus and somehow becoming her very own hero in the process. I wanted the film to ride that line between epic action blockbuster and more light-hearted mood. I think we achieved that especially well in the water balloon fight scene, in which the heroine is inspired by Captain America.”
