Challenge
Brazil has the highest number of English language schools globally, yet only 5% of the population speaks English, with just 1% achieving fluency.
Frontseat (formerly The English Journey) faced widespread student demotivation due to unrealistic promises and outdated teaching methods from other schools. The rebrand needed to:
Modernize communication and position the school as an expert in student-centered learning.
Reconnect with disillusioned learners and prepare for the launch of an innovative online course.
Emphasize autonomy and personalized learning experiences tailored to Brazilian students.

New Positioning: Shifted from a rigid "journey" metaphor to a flexible, empowering narrative inspired by road trips and freedom.
Memorable Identity: Renamed the school Frontseat (symbolizing student control) and created a visual identity reflecting autonomy and accessibility.
The new visual identity
"Our mission is to give Brazilians autonomy so that they can become citizens of the world"
