The Campaign

Using the fac?ade of a large apartment building to transform it in a living ambient media that consists in building tables between the balconies of a building's facade. On the tables, two Nescafe? red mugs and a kettle. On the building facade just in front, a call to action invites people to have a coffee with their neighbors: GET CLOSER TO THOSE CLOSE TO YOU

Execution

The key element of the operation is the table that connects the balcony of the fac?ade. Using the same red of Nescafe? Red Mug, the tables has become the symbol of the operation: 1.82m long, it has been used as a bridge over the balconies, to connect the life of the residents of the apartment blocks.

In just one week the outdoor was seen by thousands of people passing by, as it was in a very crowded area. At the same time millions of people on YouTube, Facebook and TV saw it. 48 Million Media impressions +11% Facebook fans +52% Brand popularity increased +6.400.000 total project views The condominium meetings are now more friendly.

The Situation

By using real people that live in the apartment building chosen for the operation, Nescafe? has shown the power of its red cup to give life to real connections. The fac?ade of the building has been transformed in a living billboard, and the people that took part have become the testimonials of the brand, showing to everybody that it only takes a little to start a conversation.

The Strategy

Nescafe? shortens the distances between people that, although have something in common, are divided by a barrier. Most of time, people that live right next to you are the one you know the less: it is the exact case of the large apartment building, where people do not communicate and barely greets each other. Nescafe?, and its iconic red mug, gives you a reassuring heat that makes you receptive and the unplanned time to let you go to unexpected experiences. This operation is addressed to anyone living in a large apartment building, to show them how easy can be to break the barriers that divides their life and get in touch with those that live close to them. The video of the operation has been uploaded on YouTube and on Facebook, targeting millennials and people that live in large apartment buildings.
