Nescafe campaign turns coffee into calligraphy

It’s a good thing whoever said, “Don’t play with your food,” forgot to add “or drink” to the end of that sentence. The marketing folks behind Nescafe Dolce Gusto are having a wonderful time playing with coffee and turning it into calligraphy.

It’s called, appropriately, “Coffeegraphy,” and the gist of it involves a professional calligrapher using coffee to write your name.

Nescafe Dolce Gusto brand manager Laura Muirhead explains:

Our brief was to launch two new machines, both containing the same functionality but with very different looks. The idea behind #Coffeegraphy is to show consumers in a fun and engaging way, the coffee machine that matches their personalities. Housing the campaign on Facebook meant that we could gain huge reach in a very social and emotive way.
