La Dolce Vita Is Just a Sip Away

PROJECT
Sanpellegrino Zero Launch Campaign
Client
Sanpellegrino

Sanpellegrino needed to launch its new Zero Sugar line in the U.S. with a social-first campaign adaptable for global markets. The campaign was built around the idea that La Dolce Vita is just a sip away. With real fruit juice and zero grams of added sugar, there are no excuses not to indulge in life’s sweet moments. The brand plays a guiding role, encouraging consumers to embrace the Italian way of living, no matter where they are.

WHAT IS LA DOLCE VITA?
​An Italian way of life; cherishing the sensory journey of life by savoring everyday pleasures, gathering with family, and finding joy in the simple moments.

​It’s easy to find excuses for why your life can’t slow down. The Italian way of living can inspire us.
SLOW DOWN AND SAVOR THE MOMENT
APPRECIATE BEAUTY IN ALL ITS FORMS
CONNECT WITH
OTHERS
THE FOUR CORE STORIES
To bring the concept to life, we created four social-first video ads that depict everyday moments transformed into La Dolce Vita experiences
LA DOLCE VITA LESSONS
We launched an influencer-led activation centered around La Dolce Vita Lessons - content designed to inspire audiences to bring the Italian philosophy of joy and indulgence into their everyday lives.





We created 12 unique lessons for a selection of influencers that had connection to Italian culture either through their roots or through their way of living.
→ Rooted in Italian Culture
Every lesson drew from real Italian traditions, offering playful, attainable, and aspirational insights without feeling preachy.

→ Breaking Through Excuses
Each lesson addressed common excuses that prevent people from living fully, demonstrating how La Dolce Vita can be embraced anywhere, at any time.
One example of how we built our lesson for The Pasinis, from insight, to lesson, to the final result:





The Italian Insight


→ Italians communicate with
gesti (hand gestures).
Speaking with your hands is an Italian expression of love and care, an emotional, face-to-face way of sharing ideas and feelings that has long been an integral part of Italian communication.





The lesson


→ Express yourself with gesti.
This lesson is a silent movie with subtitles, where the influencer communicates the story of a stressful day using animated Italian gestures, but after sipping Sanpellegrino Zero, the mood shifts, and the gestures transform into expressions of joy and La Dolce Vita.

sharing la dolce vita across the web
We developed a variety of assets to support both the awareness and consideration/purchase phases of the campaign, tailored for social and web platforms. These assets included static and motion graphics, GIFs, and videos that reinforced the La Dolce Vita message, capturing attention at each stage of the consumer journey.
