AVEC Campinas · 2026
The year turned into a track: AVEC's gamification journey.
Translate a bold R$ 206 million annual goal into a journey of belonging, turning pressure for results into rituals of celebration for hundreds of employees.
Engage hundreds of employees of a large distributor in an audacious annual revenue target of R$206 million, avoiding the natural team burnout over twelve months. The central challenge was connecting the sales team and administrative staff to a giant corporate objective, transforming the traditional demand for results into a journey of belonging, transparency, and constant motivation.
Structuring the campaign "Ritmo de Campeões" (Champions' Rhythm), a long-term engagement strategy that translated the year 2026 under the metaphor of Formula 1. We designed a journey where each employee acts as a driver, internal areas operate as pit crews, and the year is divided into four quarterly "laps," each with its own visual identity, checkpoints, and rituals to fractionalize the pressure of the annual goal.
The strategy replaced static institutional communication with a bi-weekly cadence of dynamic rituals via WhatsApp — such as Pole Position (sales ranking), Pit-Stop (commercial and operational performance pills), and Finish Line (celebration of met goals). To materialize healthy competition, we installed a permanent physical podium at the company's headquarters and created exclusive t-shirts for the winners of each lap, culminating in the grand prize of a trip to Cancun for professionals who maintained consistent results.
Fase 01
Concept — Champions' Rhythm
2026 was reframed through a Formula 1 metaphor: each employee is a driver, internal teams are pit crews, and the year splits into four quarterly laps to break down the pressure of the goal.
Fase 02
Rituals — living communication via WhatsApp
Pole Position (ranking), Pit-Stop (performance tips) and Finish Line (celebration) replaced cold emails with interactive cards and custom stickers, creating a biweekly engagement cadence.
Fase 03
Materialization — gamification in the physical world
A permanent podium at HQ, exclusive driver t-shirts for quarterly leaders, and the Cancún trip anchored healthy competition in pride and internal visibility.
