Neighbourhood Revival
Nogueira is very proud of her heritage and has made it her mission to re-define the concept of Brazilian luxury through her projects. She aims to do this through artistic curatorship, drawing on Brazil’s rich culture, art and history which the brands she works with can leverage.
Nogueira says she always knew she would take a values-driven approach to her career. The home of the Amazon rainforest, surrounded by thousands of species of animals and trees, the country is well known for its social and environmental extremes. Brazil also suffers one of the highest crime rates against women and homosexuals.
“I’m on a mission to establish a dedicated ‘savoir faire’, or brand essence for my homeland”.
Growing up in a neighbourhood full of social contrasts in the city of São Paulo, Flávia decided early on that she wanted to make her mark. She was born into a very traditional Brazilian family and educated in a variety of different types of schools, sensitizing her to societal differences and gender imbalances, something she has carried with her throughout her career. She wants to close this gap and believes her background in communications and trend research can help drive greater structural change.

“In traditional advertising agencies and even today in my daily life, I feel I need to deliver at least twice as much as my male counterparts. My heritage and experiences fed me, engaged me, and gave me the courage to use my work as a tool for change. I want to open fairer and healthier routes for future and current generations.
“I am dedicated to educating leaders and working with companies, industries and business models to become more transparent. Through developing new business cultures that are less toxic and more egalitarian, it is possible to reduce inequalities perpetuated not just by one company, but by all the different households that make up that company, thus driving an entire nation."
“Provoking, educating, stamping out differences and plotting improvement routes with goals and results is my bread and butter. It’s essential that business leaders assume the right political, social and environmental agenda. Only after this internal restoration will it be possible to communicate credibly about the company.”
