The Brazilian UGC calendar

Brazil runs on a commercial calendar that does not match the northern one, and briefing against the wrong version is how a campaign arrives two weeks after its moment. Carnival is a national pause that swallows production, back to school lands in February and again in August, Mothers Day is the second retail peak of the year rather than a minor date, and Black Friday arrived late and became enormous. Filming schedules follow from that, not the other way round.
