The Campaign

To demonstrate that even the worst restaurant can become excellent, we have decided to enhance the gastronomic experience for those who eat worst in the universe: the flies. For this reason we created “La Mouche D’Or” (The Golden Fly), the world’s first gourmet restaurant for flies.

Creative Execution

We built a real gourmet micro restaurant. A refined and elegant restaurant, with 4 tables of 6 cm, set up with silver cutlery, mini bottles of champagne and dishes of 2 cm prepared by a team of chefs. At the end we also made flies enter this restaurant, letting them eat dishes such as tuna tartare, risotto with caviar, sea bass, mini crepe as a dessert instead of shit.

The campaign has been watched by more than 2millions of Italians on social networks, generating € 170.000 in free media. Kitchen Nightmares has become the most viewed show ever on Channel Nove.

Our strategy consists in demonstrating how creatures that eat shit can also eat haute cuisine dishes thanks to Kitchen Nightmares. An experiment that involved chef, interior designers end entomologists. The experiment has been filmed to become the promo of the tv program and a video posted on Channel Nove Facebook page in order to attract a specific target (males\females 20-40 y.o.) who generally doesn’t watch this TV channel.
