Created by Eugene Real Estate Marketing agency, the action debut on Tuesday, 17, during halftime of the novel Passione, from Globo.

The movie shows the actress coming to Rio de Janeiro aboard a jet and then walking around in a limousine.

During the journey, the protagonist watches a movie that highlights all the differences of the mall. In the end, he reaches his destination, a luxurious place all lenses are focused in their direction.

The icing on the cake is on account of words in Portuguese that the actress says in recounting the concept of entrepreneurship. The scene is directed by Chilean Sergio Cuevas, who lives in Brazil since 1986.

Besides the film, the campaign includes advertisements in major newspapers in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and in weekly magazines, monthly and segmented into fashion and style. At the site where the mall will be built, in Barra da Tijuca, there will be a big billboard with the image of the actress, photographed by James White.

According to Carlos Valladão, president and creative director of Eugene, the choice of Nicole is due to its recognition as an icon of style and beauty. “I think there is a novelty in the fact that an international star is campaigning for a mall before it opened,” she emphasizes.

Moreover, the use of images of actresses and models is becoming foreign applicant in the advertising shopping malls in Brazil. One example was the campaign to launch the Shopping Cidade Jardim, starring Sarah Jessica Parker in mid-2008. The advertiser even climbed in May, Britain’s Kate Moss to star in their advertising until the end of the year.
