[03]The work

Generating supply to meet the demand

The NESCAFÉ portfolio is enormous.

Instant coffee, machines, recipes, collaborations, new products and new ways of drinking coffee, all launching across different markets, formats and platforms.

The challenge wasn’t just making more content. It was building a process that could handle the volume without treating every product like it was coming off the same production line.

What we didBuilt repeatable post-production workflows around each master, then adapted them across markets, formats and deliverables without losing the care put into the original work.

Fingerprints on glasses

Sometimes the problem really is that small.

Fingerprints. Reflections. Product cleanup, liquid spills. Beauty work. Comp fixes. Tiny things nobody watching the final film should ever notice.

A lot of the job was making sure you didn’t notice the job.

What we didFix what needed fixing. Leave everything else alone.

Why it worked

Publicis needed enough post-production capacity to keep an enormous portfolio moving without sacrificing the quality of the work.

Over four years, we helped provide that capacity and kept the work consistent across thousands of deliverables.
