Here they produced three 15 second idents for the station, (in both English and Portuguese!) that were screened on MTV Brazil to an audience of millions. Rodrigo Pimenta, from MTV Brazil said, "The visit was a great success. The girls were really cool and worked very hard!"? Of their DreamJob Hannah and Jenny added; "Thanks to NOISE we have some truly valuable additions to out C.V and showreel and felt encouraged to take the work we do together seriously"?. The girls also kept NOISE up to date with what was going down in Brazil with some very cool video diaries.
