‘Creativity Reinvents The Classics’
GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT – Today, NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto®, the unconventional premium coffee system, announces the launch of its exciting new global campaign ‘Creativity Reinvents The Classics’, featuring GRAMMY award-winning music creator will.i.am.
The campaign celebrates the power of creativity to deliver outstanding quality through a parallel between music and coffee creativity.
At the heart of the campaign is an energetic and vibrant film, which features global superstar will.i.am in studio with NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto®, directed by two of the film industry’s leading talents; Diego Contreras and Salomon Ligthelm.
While we discover will.i.am re-interpreting his own unique version of Otis Redding’s iconic hit ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay’ during the film, the ad also reveals how NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® transforms a classic cup of coffee into an amazing and unseen coffee experience.
As will.i.am says, “There is nothing like being creative to reinvent a classic”.
Q & A with Will.i.am:
Q: What does creativity mean to you?
A: In my mind, creativity is a way to describe how I express myself; being creative is a fundamental part of who I am. It’s a language I communicate with everyone, no matter what nationality, race, gender or age.
Q: What are you up to next?
A: I’m super busy at the moment across a variety of things, but most recently I’ve been taking some time to launch my new voice-enabled smartcuff watch, the dial, in the UK and Germany. We’ve been working on the technology for more than four years, so we’re very excited about it!
In addition to the campaign film, audiences can discover immersive brand content with an exclusive side by side interview, featuring will.i.am and NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® barista, Ola Persson. During the interview, both experts explain in four steps how they re-invent classics within their respective fields, thanks to their creative touches.
Today, coffee lovers are quick to seek out higher quality coffees and sophisticated coffee experiences. Therefore ‘Creativity Reinvents The Classics’ helps to demonstrate how NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® is committed to producing outstanding coffee experiences that go beyond conventions, using creativity as its key source of inspiration.
“NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® has always been an unconventional coffee brand; we like to push boundaries and challenge the coffee category by reinventing new rules of quality” says Axel Touzet, Vice President, Head of the Nescafé Dolce Gusto GBU. “We believe that, when it comes to top quality, creativity makes all the difference; so we go beyond the classic foundations of traditional coffee making to reinterpret it with our creative twist, to deliver superior and amazing coffee experiences.”
For will.i.am the partnership felt natural, “I chose to collaborate with NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® because the core of the campaign is around exploring creativity, which is a huge part of who I am and central to what I do. NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® is committed to producing high quality, great tasting coffee, just as I am committed to producing top quality music.”
The global launch of ‘Creativity Reinvents The Classics’ will kick-off with will.i.am taking over the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Facebook pages for 48 hours, from 30th August 2016. During this time, will.i.am will tease coffee lovers by releasing exclusive behind-the-scenes imagery of the campaign shoot, ahead of revealing the exciting campaign film. The film will premiere across the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® global Facebook pages and social media channels at 10 o’clock on 1st September 2016, followed closely by the TV launch on 2nd September 2016.
