1. CONTEXTO
Jornada Amazônia is an initiative that connects, accelerates, and strengthens bioeconomy projects, bringing local communities, startups, NGOs, and educational institutions together within a single ecosystem. It operates in a critical context, where historically extractive economic models still dominate the region and put pressure on its biodiversity. The challenge is not only environmental, but also cultural and economic: creating new ways of generating value that reconcile development with preservation.

2. DESAFIO
What was missing was a brand that could translate the complexity and ambition of this work, clearly defining Jornada’s role as the orchestrator of a diverse, interdependent system. It needed to bring together concepts often seen as opposites, innovation and preservation, the Amazon and industry, while moving beyond narratives centered on catastrophe and loss to attract and engage audiences ranging from local producers to global institutions.

3. SOLUÇÃO
The positioning starts with the idea of giving the forest a voice by thinking and acting as it does: diverse by nature. The concept of “Amazonian capacity” captures this shift, placing the forest at the center of the brand’s narrative and replacing a lens of scarcity with one of potential. The narrative is vibrant and optimistic. In the visual identity, the fluidity of Amazonian rivers guides the eye along paths of interconnection, while the symbol represents branching roots converging at a common point: the foundation that sustains growth. Asymmetry reinforces the plurality of each initiative and structures the brand architecture, highlighting individual identities without losing their connection to the whole. Everything was co-created with the Jornada team, from positioning to experience.
