With a third partner, Vinicius Reis, they used the Fasano luxury hotel as a temporary headquarters until moving the now 12-person staff into a permanent office this week.They're already winning business.

The agency will launch Corona beer in Brazil, and also won a special projects account that will include global collaboration with A-B InBev. In addition, CP&B Brazil will launch a new Mondelez brand in Brazil, and will be the creative agency for two publications at Brazil's biggest magazine publisher Editora Abril.It's a busy time for Mr. Kassu and Mr. Medeiros, who have been a copywriter and art director team for more than seven years and are now partners and chief creative officers at MDC-owned CP&B Brazil.
