The ChallengeMexico's real economy is built by businesses the financial system has learned to ignore: companies that generate 52% of the country's GDP and 72% of formal employment, yet 87.6% of them can't access the credit they need. The industry that should move at their speed instead optimizes for its own comfort — safe clients, solid guarantees, risk-free processes — and calls that innovation.Kapital needed a brand that didn't just serve these businesses, but spoke their language: one built by people who bought two banks not because it was easy, but because it was necessary.The StrategyTogether with Panorama, Kapital's brand was built around a truth the company already lived, in its own words: incomodarse, siempre — get uncomfortable, always. Everything worth building was built from discomfort, and the businesses generating Mexico's real economy already live by that rule every day.
