Brief Explanation
In France, Schweppes is known as the soft drink brand for adults and positioned as a luxury product using perfume's codes in communication: chic, trendy, seductive, unexpected with a sense of humor.
Since 2009, Schweppes has been developing the very iconic "What Did You Expect?" saga, playing on seduction and product's attractiveness in a glamorous yet funny way.
The saga started with the famous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, and kept on going with a second campaign featuring Uma Thurman as a sulfurous and eccentric diva.
For this third campaign, the objective was to evolve toward a more European muse. Penelope Cruz was an obvious choice: a successful filmography, a great personality and a mesmerizing sensuality. We just had to add the essential “unexpected twist” to turn this attraction story into a successful campaign, which was one of the most talked-about ad during the first month of its launch.
