«Vaz de Almeida’s Case»
To uphold the integrity principle of Análise Editorial, law firm names were concealed throughout the project evaluation process.The identity of the firms and people involved was completely anonymized to ensure that cases were accepted and judged exclusively on their own merits, based on the value and merit of the initiatives. This assessment focused on their impact, transformative potential, innovative content, result, and originality, irrespective of the influence of the law firms and the visibility of the professionals who worked on the projects.
Out of the 305 cases, 195 advanced to the review by an expert jury composed of 11 professionals. Their mission was to meticulously assess the projects, assigning scores from 1 to 5. Vaz de Almeida Advogados obtained the second-highest score in its category with the «TVCorporativa» (Corporate TV) case, an initiative by the Communication Department, conceived and led by Paulo Reganin.
Paulo Bernécule Reganin oversees Brand Management and Corporate Communication. He is a Copydesk and Legal Designer. A lawyer with a background in Anthropology and Philosophy, Paulo leads the Communication Department and is passionate about the arts. He directs the editorial and creative direction of the firm’s communication channels and media, such as the editorial project of the News Portal and Corporate TV. The department also produces internal and external institutional materials and Visual Law content, including the historical documentation of the law firm’s 23-year legacy headquartered in Campinas.
What is «TVCorporativa»?
The case proposed by Vaz de Almeida was their «TVCorporativa,» a large 4k panel situated in the operations room that broadcasts entirely produced and edited content by the Communication Department. Its programming is a mix of news, humor, entertainment, institutional communication, important dates, along with the disclosure of the most significant legal operations and the presentation of their outcomes.
In a section of the documentation that presented the case, is written: «The challenge we set for ourselves ― the problem to be solved ― was specifically in the realm of internal marketing (and therefore, marketing): How could the firm stimulate the interest of the departments (in their consulting dimension) in Visual Law resources as a means to add value to their outputs? How to help our lawyers recognize (that was our bet!) in Visual Law deliverables, a privileged opportunity to enhance the perceived value of our work? The target, therefore, immediately, was our own lawyers and, in a second layer, of course, the clients ― and the market.»
Thus, the «TVCorporativa,» which «went on air» merely with the intention of encouraging the ordering of Visual Law works and sensitizing our professionals to the importance of the integrity of the Brand Book, quickly became a strategic communication channel to bring people closer and create a light and welcoming atmosphere amidst the ordinary work.
According to Paulo, ― who will mark 20 years at the firm by 2024 ―, the fundamental premise of Vaz de Almeida Advogados’ institutional communication is that «aesthetic is inseparable from the substance of things». In other words, form is as crucial as content. Hence, «when we design our solutions, we do not separate the contents from their expressions.». For Paulo, «a inteligência é inseparável da beleza» e a beleza é o «meio privilegiado para revelá-la».
