Moccona awakens something special in latest campaign shot in Rome via M&C Saatchi, Sydney

Moccona has launched ‘Awaken’, a new breakfast blend with a M&C Saatchi-created campaign that invites customers to ‘Wake up to something special”.

Like its predecessors, this campaign indulges in a special Moccona moment. In this instance, it’s that precious time between waking and getting on with your day when you savour your first coffee.

Shot entirely on location in Rome, the spot evokes a ‘Sleeping Beauty’ type fairytale that reflects Moccona’s European heritage and light-hearted romantic approach.

The campaign includes a 45 and 30 second TVCs and a 60-second cinema spot.

The commercial’s lead actor was flown in from Italy to introduce ‘Awaken’ at a Moccona breakfast event at Uccello Restaurant in Sydney’s Ivy last week.

The Moccona Master Brewer and ‘Awaken’ creator was also on hand to keep the brews flowing and take guests through the thinking and process behind the new morning blend at the event organized by M&C Saatchi’s PR company BangPR.

Says marketing director Rena Chatterjee: “We want to remind Australians to start their day with a great cup of coffee. M&C Saatchi have done a great job of bringing this to life with the Sleeping Beauty ad.”

Says M&C Saatchi executive creative director Ben Welsh: “It’s great to do some good old fashioned story telling, particularly when you can capture the authenticity of character and place like this. Thank you Rena.”
