Abstract

TAEQ was a new branding concept in the Brazilian retail market. The name represented a combination of two concepts associated with modern wellness: tao, representing balance and naturalness, and eki, representing vital energy. TAEQ was developed to become one of the leading private brands in the Grupo Pao de Acucar (GPA) portfolio.
