Our strategists Thalita Campbell and Rafael Bittencourt spoke at the second edition of Muriqui Talks, the conversations track of the Muriqui Sounds festival, at Ibiti Projeto, the client whose rebranding we lead. Under the theme "Living Communities: brands, bonds, and belonging", they brought together branding, psychoanalysis, and biomimicry around a paradox of our time: in a hyperconnected world, loneliness grows and bonds weaken. In this scenario, community becomes a real opportunity for brands, as long as it is genuine. More than a mass that dissolves the individual, community recognizes each person in full, and is not controlled but cultivated. Nature offered the counterpoint: in the Northern Muriqui, protected by Ibiti, trust and cooperation sustain the collective, which reveals trust less as a feeling and more as infrastructure. For brands, belonging grows from what is lived together, not from sameness, and it is a bond that is earned, not bought. The talk is part of the "Living Futures" concept, which we helped create.
