Back-to-school campaigns in Brazil and Portugal

Overview

In early August, families in Brazil were coping with the return to school after the summer break, expressing a mix of relief, nostalgia and anxiety. At the same time, Portuguese online retailer WOOK launched a service that streamlines the purchase of school books and supplies by allowing parents to apply vouchers via QR code or manual entry, reducing the need to visit multiple stores.

A few days later, Portuguese stationery brands Note! and Zippy introduced a school‑supply line featuring the “Monsters of Emotions” collection, designed with a pediatrician to embed emotional‑wellbeing messages in everyday items. WOOK also rolled out the “Bruxa” advertising campaign, turning textbook buying into an animated adventure. Both initiatives illustrate a broader push by Portuguese retailers to differentiate back‑to‑school offerings through creative storytelling and a focus on children’s mental health.
