Havan marks 40th anniversary with new campaign and celebrities

Retail giant Havan is celebrating its 40-year milestone in 2026 by bringing together a unique group of public figures whose careers span sports, music, and digital media. The brand welcomed four well-known personalities—Ronald Nazário, Suzanna Freitas, Carol Portaluppi, and Pedro Leonardo—to film an upcoming advertising campaign that bridges the company’s established retail presence with a multi-generational approach to public engagement.

The campaign rollout coincides with a significant commercial milestone for the retailer. As Havan marks four decades of operations, it is rapidly approaching a footprint of 200 megalojas across Brazil. Company leadership structured the latest promotional push around individuals who carry prominent family names while simultaneously forging their own independent paths in various digital and entertainment industries.

Upon arriving in Santa Catarina on Monday, Oct. 5, the group was greeted at the Navegantes Airport by Luciano Hang and his son, Lucas Hang. The itinerary included a tour of Havan’s logistics hub in Barra Velha, where the guests examined the company’s supply chain operations, followed by a visit to the administrative headquarters in Brusque to meet internal teams and company executives.

Luciano Hang Brings Digital Creators to Havan

For Luciano Hang, bringing in younger creators who balance famous parentage with individual ventures speaks directly to the brand’s overarching corporate identity. É uma alegria receber a Carol, a Suzanna e o Ronald aqui na Havan. Estamos vivendo um momento muito especial, de uma história construída por muita gente, principalmente pelos nossos colaboradores, que estão conosco todos os dias, stated the businessman, emphasizing the foundational role of the company’s workforce.

The roster of participants reflects a diverse slice of contemporary Brazilian digital culture:
