Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Here at CDA, we create connections between people and brands, because we believe that design is language and movement. Every day, we materialize dreams into form and function, transforming, innovating, shaping ideas and behaviors. Our territory is architecture and design, and the point of sale is where brands move from promise to experience. It’s where the magic happens — both in the physical realm and in the digital world. It’s within spaces filled with form, texture, and color that we connect strategy and creativity to transform the visual identity of products and services into attraction and seduction. With 30 years of experience, we’ve learned that every good idea is an opportunity to build connections — and that designing points of sale is more than organizing spaces; it’s fundamentally about creating experiences that bring people closer and generate emotional memories. That’s why every project at CDA is designed to make sense, evoke feelings, and anticipate thoughts. We are a multidisciplinary team of passionate professionals, combining proprietary methodologies, technology, and a great deal of sensitivity to build living environments that communicate and evolve alongside people. We believe in design as a way to craft memorable human experiences. This is our way of doing things. For 30 years.

After speaking with store managers and Nissan’s training team, we identified a key challenge in the sales process: because the vehicle offers so many technological features, salespeople often struggled to remember all the highlights of the Nissan Kicks. This presented an opportunity to create a sales support material that not only served as a checklist, but also transformed the point-of-sale experience into something engaging, interactive, and innovative. Development The communication project for this launch aimed to translate all the technology and innovation of the Kicks across more than 150 Nissan dealerships throughout Brazil. In addition to the in-store elements showcasing the car, the launch at the point of sale included a presentation software for the Kicks. Augmented reality markers were placed at specific points on the vehicle, and with the help of a tablet, consumers were invited to explore the car through these markers—discovering the various technological features of the Nissan Kicks and connecting interactive tools to their product experience. Results As part of a lead generation strategy, the back of the Nissan Kicks display and the flyers invited consumers to download the car’s digital brochure by sending an SMS—reducing the need for printed materials and lowering associated costs. This innovative approach provided a tech-forward experience aligned with the vehicle’s concept, making the sales process more dynamic and efficient.

A Nissan nos trouxe o desafio de transformar todas as lojas localizadas nas cidades que fizeram parte da Rota da Tocha Olímpica na cara dos maiores jogos do mundo. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Nissan Olympics Campaign Nissan Brazil Introduction Nissan challenged us to transform all stores located in cities along the Olympic Torch Route into spaces that reflected the spirit of the world’s greatest sporting event. To achieve this, the CDA team developed a creative and innovative store design for each of those locations. Development Our point-of-sale communication work featured large-format images of athletes, creating interaction with the environment in a way that entertained customers through creativity within the dealership and with the brand’s vehicles. This concept was developed to support the brand campaign #WhoDares. Results The initiative had a significant impact on dealership foot traffic, increasing the amount of time customers spent in the space and strengthening their emotional connection with the brand. The immersive setup led to a notable rise in digital engagement, with visitors sharing their experiences on social media and further boosting the campaign’s visibility. In addition, the sensory experience created by the project helped convert the excitement of the Olympic Games into a positive perception of Nissan, reinforcing its market presence in an authentic and memorable way. Awarded 1st place in Environmental Design, Point-of-Sale Materials and Displays category at the 2016 Bornancini Award.

A CDA Design aceitou o desafio de entender uma nova jornada de compra de um SUV, que envolve etapas físicas e digitais, e com isso pensar inovações nas peças e ações de merchandising envolvidas no processo de experiência e compra. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Jeep Renegade Launch Material Jeep South America Introduction In a retail landscape undergoing reinvention, car dealerships have evolved little in recent years. CDA Design accepted the challenge of understanding a new SUV purchase journey—one that involves both physical and digital stages—and, from that, rethinking innovations in merchandising materials and actions throughout the customer experience and buying process. A few years ago, the point of sale served a more educational purpose, providing information about the product. Today, however, the consumer often arrives at the dealership more informed than the salesperson. While dealership visits have decreased, they have become more targeted: customers make preliminary decisions online and visit fewer stores to save time. In this new scenario, the role of the car salesperson deserves special attention, as fewer visits can lead to a reduced sense of purpose and increased anxiety—negatively impacting performance and sales results. Development Promoting salesperson empowerment through digital tools that enhance their role in the customer journey—starting from the very first contact with the dealership. Custom video teasers, designed specifically for sharing via WhatsApp, along with a mobile-first digital catalog (not just a simple adaptation of a printed version), acted as communication tools tailored to this direct interaction between salespeople and potential buyers. For the physical materials, the concept was always to convey the feeling of nature’s challenge, 4x4 capability, and a vehicle truly designed for rugged terrain and difficult angles. The use of certified, reforested wood with hand sanding added authenticity and aligned with the brand's purpose—both through the tilted structure and the use of natural materials that highlighted the Renegade’s rustic character. The test-drive sticker reinforced the Renegade’s key features with a functional and pragmatic design, inviting customers to experience a market leader behind the wheel. Results With a PDVE (Point of Sale and Experience) material aligned with the essence of the Jeep brand and specially designed to showcase the full 4x4 capability, we helped FCA reclaim the leadership of the Renegade in the Brazilian market in 2019. PROJECT AWARDED AT THE 2019 BRASIL DESIGN AWARD.

Recebemos o desafio de traduzir a trajetória centenária da Ferreira Costa em um novo posicionamento, por meio da revisão de identidade e da materialização do propósito da marca em todos os seus pontos de contato. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Rebranding and store design for Home Center Ferreira Costa Ferreira Costa Brazil Introduction In a country where most businesses close their doors within five years, Ferreira Costa stands as a remarkable exception. Founded in 1884 by a Portuguese immigrant in Garanhuns, the brand remains under the leadership of the founding family to this day and is the largest home center chain in the Northeast, with stores in Garanhuns, Recife, Salvador, Aracaju, and João Pessoa. We were challenged to translate this century-old journey into a new positioning by revisiting the brand identity and bringing its purpose to life across all touchpoints. Development The work began with a deep immersion into Ferreira Costa’s history, combining ethnographic research with interviews and interactive sessions with leadership. Based on the branding and retail design diagnosis, we conducted a workshop with managers to collaboratively build the new brand purpose — the foundation for redesigning the identity and brand experience. The new brand retains elements that reflect its Portuguese heritage, such as the graphic mark, green, and red, while incorporating new visual codes that express its evolution. Gray was added to the store signage, and a secondary color palette was developed to organize and unify the various departments. In the new João Pessoa store, this repositioning is reflected in an integrated retail project. The proposal includes signage, visual merchandising, promotional communication, and also influenced architecture, equipment, and materials. Digital transformation is also part of this new phase: e-commerce, channel integration, digital product search at the point of sale, in-store pickup, and social media integration were all designed to align tradition with innovation — without losing the essence of the brand. Results The new identity and store design mark a new chapter for Ferreira Costa, reaffirming its commitment to tradition while looking toward the future. The brand has gained even more consistency and strength, solidifying its position as a regional and national reference, while modernizing to continue delighting customers, employees, and partners across all touchpoints.

Em um momento decisivo para a Pestana Leilões, a CDA foi escolhida para liderar um projeto desafiador: descobrir o propósito da marca e conduzir um trabalho de reposicionamento que envolvesse todos os stakeholders da organização. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Rebranding and headquarters architecture of Pestana Leilões Pestana Leilões Rio Grande do Sul Introduction At a pivotal moment for Pestana Leilões, CDA was chosen to lead a challenging project: to uncover the brand’s purpose and carry out a repositioning strategy that would engage all of the organization’s stakeholders. The objective was clear: to translate the values of Pestana Leilões into a new visual language and identity, strengthening its presence in the market and aligning perceptions among executives, employees, clients, and partners. Development The process began with the strategic repositioning of the brand, which revealed the need for a more coherent and representative visual identity. From there, we redesigned the brand and developed a consistent graphic language for all communication channels and materials. The color palette, photographic styles, and visual guidelines were compiled into a comprehensive brand book, ensuring unity and clarity at every touchpoint with the audience. This new language went beyond the visual and extended into the company’s physical space. The architectural design of Pestana Leilões’ new headquarters was conceived to reflect the same concepts defined in the branding. From the choice of materials and finishes to the ambiance of the spaces, every detail was planned to communicate the brand’s new positioning, fostering an environment that connects people, culture, and purpose. Results The transformation of Pestana Leilões goes beyond a new brand — it is the consolidation of a strong and coherent identity. The alignment between branding and architecture resulted in an integrated experience that strengthens both internal and external relationships, positioning the company in a clearer, more modern, and authentic way in the market.

Com o desafio de aproximar a oficina do consumidor e atrair especialmente o público feminino para dentro das concessionárias, a FIAT procurou a CDA Design para desenvolver um novo conceito de atendimento e ambientação para serviços de pós-venda. Nascia assim o FIAT Autocentro, um modelo pioneiro de oficina com foco em experiência, conforto e proximidade. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Creation and implementation of the FIAT Autocentro concept Fiat Brazil Introduction With the challenge of bringing the service center closer to consumers and especially attracting a female audience into dealerships, FIAT turned to CDA Design to develop a new customer service and environment concept for after-sales services. This is how FIAT Autocentro was born — a pioneering service center model focused on experience, comfort, and closeness. Development The concept introduced a significant structural change: bringing the service center to the front of the dealership, making the service more visible, transparent, and accessible. The bright, clean, and organized environment was designed to contrast with the traditional image of a dark, technical workshop, creating a welcoming and inviting space — especially for the female audience. The visual identity followed the same approach, with graphic and signage elements that emphasize practicality, trust, and lightness. Results CDA also managed the implementation of the project in over 300 units across Brazil, between 2002 and 2011. FIAT Autocentro became a benchmark in the industry and inspired several other automakers to follow the same path, establishing the concept as an evolution in how consumers are served in automotive after-sales.

Recebemos o desafio de aumentar o ticket médio da rede, transformando o modelo de negócio: de uma loja especializada em calçados esportivos para uma loja de produtos esportivos de forma mais ampla. O objetivo era ir além da venda de tênis, estimulando novas compras por meio da ampliação do mix e da experiência de marca. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Concept and implementation of the Authentic Feet stores Authentic Feet Brazil Introduction We were challenged to increase the network’s average ticket by transforming the business model — from a store specialized in athletic footwear to a broader sports goods store. The goal was to go beyond selling sneakers, encouraging new purchases by expanding the product mix and enhancing the brand experience. Development The project’s strategy was to create an emotional connection with visitors, inspiring rather than simply selling. The store evolved from being just a point of purchase to becoming a dynamic, ever-changing space where each visit reveals a new possibility. This flexibility was made possible by a clean and versatile architectural design, with modular walls that support everything from full outfit displays to high-capacity merchandising, both front-facing and lateral. The product mix was expanded to include apparel in the portfolio. This variety encourages customers to return more often, increasing the potential for cross-selling. Additionally, sustainability was a key pillar of the project: we chose materials such as Ecobrick, made from recycled polyurethane — a choice that reinforces the brand’s commitment to conscious and contemporary practices. Results The new project repositioned the store as a dynamic, attractive space aligned with the behavior of today’s consumer. The expanded product mix, combined with a versatile and sustainable environment, strengthened the brand’s presence, increased the average ticket, and created a space that inspires, welcomes, and encourages customers to return.
