Client: JDE – Jacobs Douwe Egberts
Brand: Jacobs
My role: Creative Concept, Art Direction, Animation Supervision

Project Brief: createa TVC Tag-On for 125 years anniversary of Jacobs brand.

Upon hearing the client’s request, I immediately imagined the watercolour technique as the most appropriate approach to this task, although it was an unusual technique for Jacobs world, but understood and approved by the client.


125 years of coffee mastery journey built on a dream and a promise to deliver the finest coffee. Jacobs, the Magic Aroma.

It was important to lock each illustration before the animation process for better process efficiency. 

I believe that together with the team we have achieved an excellent end result, which perfectly connects to the journey of Jacobs coffee.
