Starbucks pays it forward with Manchester agency

Zeal Creative is leading a new brand marketing campaign for Starbucks chilled coffee.

The Manchester and London-based agency will manage experiential activity as part of its “Lift up the Everyday” EMEA campaign.

Inspired by “pay it forward”, the activation features a specially built billboard and digital amplification that enables consumers to “Pay It Forward to a Friend.”

While sitting in a custom-built chair that’s affixed to the poster, customers can use a QR code to pick a chilled coffee drink to gift to the person they wish was sitting next to them via a gift card with a personalised message. 

Starbucks chilled coffee will then create, print and post the card to their chosen recipient. 

“The question we asked ourselves was, ‘How could we turn a poster into a post box to give as many people as possible a lift?’” said John Treacy, Executive Creative Director at ZEAL.

“The magic of bringing physical and digital together means thousands of people will be getting a brilliantly thoughtful surprise in the post thanks to Starbucks chilled coffee.”

The experiential campaign is taking place in London this week.
