Synopsis

The brief: A hero launch campaign for ROC Aperitivo, shot on location on the Italian Riviera with a skeleton crew.

The insight: The Mediterranean late-afternoon ritual, slow and sun-soaked something that couldn't be faked on a studio set. It needed to be lived in, not staged, to feel true to the product's world.

The move: A fly-on-the-wall approach let real moments unfold naturally capturing the tastes, scents and sensations of that Mediterranean afternoon as they actually happened.

The result: A campaign that reads like a memory of summer, not an advert for one evoking connection, conversation and nostalgia rather than simply showcasing the product.
