- Positivo, Brazil Carnaval
During the samba school parade at this year's Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, there will be a new digital element. A bank of six giant computer screens mounted on a float will let people anywhere send in pictures of themselves and participate virtually as one of the top samba schools, Portela.
Positivo, Brazil's biggest computer maker with a market share of close to 40%, is providing the monitors as part of its sponsorship of Portela and its theme of social and digital inclusion. The hour-long parade entertains 100,000 wildly enthusiastic viewers singing along in the bleachers and VIP boxes, and millions of people watch the event on TV around the world. Sao Paulo shop Pepper is Positivo's agency.
