Panera Bread and ad agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners (GS&P) roll out the “Your Cup Is Always Full” campaign to introduce a new unlimited-coffee subscription for $8.99 a month. After subscribing through the MyPanera app, consumers will be able to walk into a Panera location at any point during the day and get a fresh cup of coffee.
“We love our coffee in this country,” said GS&P CCO Margaret Johnson. “It comes with this feeling of optimism–like you can take on anything. ‘Your cup is always full’ is both a literal promise from Panera and an embodiment of that optimistic feeling.”
With demand for premium coffee at an all-time high, Panera is aiming to take the guilt trip out of the coffee run for millions of Americans.
Helping to introduce the campaign is this 30-second spot, “Sunrise,” directed by Craig Gillespie of production house MJZ. In the commercial, many people from varied walks of life head en masse to the nearest Panera restaurant to get their empty coffee cups filled.
Music/sound house was Barking Owl, which also handled audio post on the commercial.
