Starbucks

Spontaneous Yay!

Adding a double-shot of joy to the Summer.

Beautifully crafted art direction imbues every scene with the energy and playfulness of Summer.

Starbucks had a very special ask of us: “Create a campaign for our Summer lineup that leverages the huge reboot of the brand’s new visual style.” This included their reimagined color palette, typography in motion, and a general vibe that feels both contemporary and fresh. We immediately understood the vision for launching the new language to caffeine connoisseurs, crafting the spots using seamless transitions and match cuts, high-speed motion control rigs and a bunch of energetic humans. The result is a music-driven campaign that follows the beats of Young Franco’s “About This Thing” through crazy camera moves, ingredient blending, and elegant ‘slo-mo’ splashes.
