Carmen Botelho on the Lions Trophy winning team at RB & Lions Health Innovation Hack 2017
/in News /by Float GroupCarmen Botelho, Global Creative Director and Managing Partner at Float Group, was part of the winning team of the RB & Lions Health Innovation Hack 2017. This year, the hack challenged the teams to find creative solutions to pollution-related problems, specifically something to protect babies and toddlers from the negative effects of air pollution in China, where babies between 0 and 3 years old can’t wear masks.
From July 17th-18th, the hack gathered some of the most brilliant creatives and innovators in the health area, as well as I&D and marketing executives from Reckitt Beckinser (RB), the leading company in health and hygiene consumer goods.
The focus was on China, where estimates show that more than a million people die each year from causes related to pollution. For two consecutive days, resulting in about 28 hours of work, the winning team worked on a proposal of a pollution repellent, that will be developed by RB in the future, creating a new product category for the company.
The ideas were presented and judged on site by an expert panel: Roberto Funari, RB Executive Vice-President, and Professor Jingang Yang, from the Fuwai Hospital, and Director of the Department of Health Communication at the Chinese National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases in Beijing, among others.
In the words of Carmen Botelho, “it was a very exciting challenge, and I’m very honoured to have been a part of it, representing both Float Group and Portugal. For two days, an incredible team shared their knowledge and experience for a global health cause, and we ended up winning. I’m very happy with the outcome.”
Float Group was the only agency representing Portugal in the hack that took place during the Lions Health 2017.

Float Brasil launches new “Detetive Duchenne” campaign
/in News /by Float GroupFloat Health Brasil launched “Detetive Duchenne”, the new awareness campaign for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The disease symptoms are often ignored due to general lack of knowledge about this problem, and this means that the diagnosis in Brazil is delayed from 5 to 7 years.
With the participation of the Aliança Distrofia Brasil (Dystrophy Alliance Brazil) and the support of the Duchenne Movement and PTC, we believe that the dissemination of information, helping symptom recognition, will trigger major changes in the Brazilian reality for this disease.

This invitation was part of the heading “Opostos” [Opposite sides], which is published regularly on Notícias Magazine.
Pedro Joel represented the employer entity side, but in the end revealed himself quite a “flexible” and liberal employer, one who invests in valuing his company’s talents and one who believes in being closer to his employers in order to succeed.
