Ogilvy’s new provocative commercial for Kraft Foods’ Korona brand promotes the three new chocolate flavours – black currant, caramel, and truffles.

Korona is playing the self-indulgence card. Hence, driving the campaign were emotions that linked with Korona, like passion and irresistibility. With a subtle teasing to succumbing, the ad shows the intensity of Korona new flavours.

The commercial was shot in Kiev by Alan Badoyev, the most prominent Ukrainian director, and Jean-Louis Vialard, renowned for his works for Pepsi, Peugeot, Shisheido, Danone.
