Client: JDE – Jacobs Douwe Egberts
Brand: Jacobs
My role: Creative Concept, Art Direction, VFX & Color Grading Supervision

Project Brief: create a TVC Tag-On for launch of the new Beans product (Italiano) within Jacobs Barista Editions products line.


With Jacobs Barista Editions Italiano, you can enjoy a cup of Italian-style coffee at home.


We received an existing TV Commercial that set the look and feel for the environment we needed to follow with the Tag-on. Initially, I created several concepts and presented them to the client in the form of storyboards. Some of these concepts had a bigger story behind them, while others simply introduced the new product with links to Italy. Finally, the client selected a concept that combined 2D animation, 3D elements, and real footage seamlessly.

One of the earliest concepts.

Since the project included shooting, we went through the full production process. Firstly, to ensure consistency, I maintained the brand’s and product line’s appearance throughout. Additionally, I directed the set design and carefully selected the casting and wardrobe to align with the brand’s image.

During the post-production stage, I actively supervised the animator to ensure the vision was executed perfectly. Moreover, I checked and approved the 3D elements to guarantee they met the required standards. I also finalized the color grading of the coffee enjoyment scene, making sure every detail was perfect.

In summary, the project involved a comprehensive process from initial concept creation to final post-production. Each step was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring a seamless integration of various elements. The result was a visually engaging and consistent Tag-on that perfectly aligned with the existing TV Commercial and the brand’s identity.
