  • Eduardo Fischer has been hired as a strategic communication consultant for Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential pre-campaign.
  • Journalist Alexandre Oltramari will coordinate communication and marketing efforts.
  • The hires follow the departure of a previous consultant amid a controversy involving funding for a film honoring Jair Bolsonaro.

The presidential pre-campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) has announced the hiring of renowned advertising executive Eduardo Fischer as its strategic communication consultant. Fischer's appointment was confirmed on Monday, signaling a shift in the campaign's communication strategy.

Alexandre Oltramari, who was already part of the team, will now serve as the coordinator of communication and marketing. Senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), the coordinator of the pre-campaign, released a statement detailing the new roles. Fischer will be responsible for defining the campaign's directives and positioning, while Oltramari will focus on marketing efforts.

Fischer is a highly respected figure in Brazilian advertising, known for his work on famous campaigns such as "Brahma número 1" and "A volta do baixinho da Kaiser." In 2018, he contributed to Álvaro Dias's presidential campaign, which garnered over 859,000 votes.

This change in the pre-campaign's leadership comes after the exit of Marcello Lopes, a former police officer and friend of Flávio Bolsonaro. Lopes's departure occurred in the wake of a crisis stemming from the relationship between the senator and Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Master, concerning the financing of the film "Dark Horse," a tribute to Jair Bolsonaro.

The strategic move aims to bolster Flávio Bolsonaro's visibility and messaging as he prepares for a potential presidential run, leveraging Fischer's extensive experience in political communication and marketing.
