STARBUCKS ‘THE BANK’ GLOBAL LAUNCH

March 19th 2012

ON MARCH 9TH 2012 WE CHANGED OUR GAME.

We embraced a new way of communicating it to the world.

We changed the Starbucks coffee experience.

We reframed our story to be not just a coffee narrative, but also one about design, innovation & sustainability.

Using a new language, we reached out to influencers at home and afar.

The hundreds of (micro) communities around the globe that cater to the cultural and creative elite.

Design blogs, innovation sites, business press, sustainability pundits and coffee geeks.

We told our story in their language, not ours. Gave them the images they wanted to publish, not necessarily the ones we were comfortable to give. And entered a

dialogue with them in order to

adapt our story to meet their

specific needs.

WE CELEBRATED OUR LINK TO HOLLAND’S COFFEE HERITAGE AND PUT LOCAL DESIGN TALENT IN THE SPOTLIGHT
