The Colonel’s Coffee

W+K Shanghai brought Colonel Sanders back to China with freshly ground coffee.

KFC started serving freshly ground coffee across the country last year, but people didn’t believe KFC was truly serious about coffee.

For KFC’s 30th anniversary, Wieden+Kennedy Shanghai brought Colonel Sanders back to China with freshly ground coffee and a Kentucky bluegrass musical that hijacked one of China’s most recognizable folk songs. The spot is directed by Curtis Wehrfritz of A New Life Film. Wehrfritz is represented by Untitled Films in Canada.

W+K redesigned KFC’s coffee cups, which are now available in 4600+ stores, did in-store takeovers, and even created chicken-drumstick stirrers for the coffee. Highly graphic OOH supported the campaign explaining how the Colonel was so busy with his coffee that his chickens were getting jealous.
