Peet’s Coffee, The Original Craft Coffee, today unveiled a new, USD $1.1 million/£819 thousand advertising campaign that answers the question of “What Fills Your Cup?” by exploring the passion that drives the brand and talented individuals in pursuit of craft, art, sport, and other aspirations. The content features Top Chef winner Kristen Kish, professional surfer Brianna Cope, Top Photographer winner Scott Borrero, Roastmaster Doug Welsh, and Beverage Innovator Patrick Main. The campaign, created in collaboration with Cutwater, includes a series of 30-second and 15-second digital spots, a unique social filter, and a consumer-facing sweepstakes.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Peet’s Coffee on developing a campaign that highlights the passions of not just our featured influencers, but anyone and everyone,” said Chuck McBride, Founder, Chief Creative Officer, Cutwater.
“We all have passions that move us and the framing device of the ‘What Fills Your Cup’ silhouette functions as the perfect hook for documentary style content and an engaging filter for Peet’s fans to enjoy online and on social media. We’re excited to see what kind of photos Peetniks submit as part of this campaign and look forward to learning about their unique passions,” added McBride.
