Special has borrowed from Botticelli’s masterpiece, The Birth of Venus, to make its When you know, you know brand platform for Mutti even wittier than the launch for tinned tomatoes.
The new Italian Goddess of Pasta Sauce for the brand’s pasta sauces, shows there is more to Mutti than premium tinned tomatoes.
“Because when you know, you know.”
In the campaign film, Photoplay director, RBG6, evokes classical majesty for Mutti’s Goddess of Pasta Sauce. The ethereal, long-haired beauty is seen in her shell, going straight to the ‘sauce’, opening a jar of Mutti and dipping her finger in for a taste of pure perfection and satisfaction. Because she knows too.
The new campaign continues to establish Mutti as the premium choice for preserved tomato products.
Sian Binder and Lea Egan, group creative directors at Special, stated, “Mutti has a special place in our hearts. It is such a wonderful brand, and the playful, inventive and creative tone of voice is so unique for the FMCG category. We are so proud to continue this campaign and see it being able to live for a very long time.”
Samantha Filocamo, marketing director at Mutti, added, “When you know, you know brand platform has been extremely successful in driving awareness of Mutti as a premium grocery brand. We are excited to continue this campaign with a focus now on our pasta sauces with our new Goddess of Pasta Sauce that captures the same witty and bold style we’ve become known for.”
The campaign targeting foodies is running across BVOD, SVOD, CTV, OLV, OOH, DOOH, digital, social and POS.
