FELICIA IS ON AIR WITH ITS FIRST COMMERCIAL: ALESSIA MARCUZZI IS ITS TESTIMONIAL, IT'S DIRECTED BY GABRIELE MAINETTI AND CREATED BY 6.14 CREATIVE LICENSING
Milan, 6 April 2021 - Felicia debuts on TV for the first time with a commercial dedicated to its innovative, tasty and nutritious pasta made from cereals (buckwheat, brown rice, oats) and pulses (chickpeas, red and yellow lentils, peas, mung beans), which is organic and naturally gluten-free.
6.14 Creative Licensing, a partner of Andriani S.p.A Benefit Corporation, an Italian benchmark for innovation food, and of its brand Felicia masterminded the creative work for the film.
"We have always been used to a single minded and stereotypical idea of pasta, but with Felicia we are facing new frontiers of taste and consumption. Using split-screen storytelling, we tell the story of the great variety of Felicia pasta, both from the perspective of its ingredients and flavours and of the way it is consumed. The narrator is Alessia Marcuzzi, who is called upon to be the spokesperson for the values of the brand, directed by Gabriele Mainetti," explains Luigi Focanti, Founder and Creative Director of the Agency.
"I was already familiar with Felicia because my sister is an avid consumer, so when I was asked to direct their first commercial, I felt right at home and enthusiastically accepted the assignment. For me, it was also a pleasant opportunity to work with Blackball, to collaborate with Lorenzo Cefis and to meet Alessia, with whom I felt immediately in tune" says Gabriele Mainetti.
Let's feed optimism is the claim of the new 30" and 15" Felicia commercials, the subject of an important strategic multichannel planning signed by PHD Media, Omnicom Media Group: on TV on Mediaset networks, On Demand, Social and Programmatic Video. The teaser campaign, which is already active on social channels, continues with targeted in-store communication actions, with a totally renewed graphic layout, a new pack system and the forthcoming launch of the brand's new web portal and e-commerce site.
"The product hero of the commercial is oats pasta, the brand's latest launch, which in a short space of time has succeeded in winning over an aware and demanding consumer, so much so that it has been recognised as the best performer in the category of new shelf launches in the Italian large-scale retail channel," says Francesco Andriani, Vice President and CEO of the company.
The new advertising campaign is part of a brand development roadmap planned for the next 3 years: a growth plan that aims to increase brand awareness and consolidate the new strategic positioning of Felicia, the protagonist of healthy pasta and a new, natural and conscious way of eating.
