Description

We needed to communicate the Nespresso coffee experience is notably superior to the average American cup of coffee. Therefore, we utilized our Nespresso brand ambassador, George Clooney, as the epitome of good taste and refinement, set against Danny DeVito whose character represented the average American (and average coffee). We leveraged George who is a living embodiment of great taste, to teach Americans (via showing Danny the way) an appreciation of the finer, more luxurious thins. Within this context, George also showed Danny that he’s ready for an upgrade from a lesser coffee – to this more superior, Nespresso coffee experience.
