Ferrero Rocher Content Strategy
How I added a taste of humour to an elite chocolate brand’s storytelling
Ferrero Rocher sought to expand its presence in South Africa and needed a creative lead to develop localized content that maintained the brand’s signature sense of luxury and sophistication. I led the creative direction, blending elegance with a touch of relatable storytelling to connect with South African audiences in a fresh, authentic way.
Problem
Often viewed as a luxury indulgence, Ferrero Rocher faced a disconnect with South African audiences, their content felt too distant and unrelatable. To truly connect, the brand needed storytelling that reflected the warmth, humour, and shared moments that define South African culture.
Solution
South Africans have a rich and diverse sense of humour, so I set out to find a scenario that was universally relatable across cultures and backgrounds. I crafted a lighthearted concept rooted in everyday experiences, ensuring it resonated with audiences from all walks of life while still aligning with Ferrero Rocher’s premium image.
Concept
I developed a series of relatable, lighthearted scenarios showing that sometimes a delicious indulgence is simply too hard to share. These playful concepts included visuals like a mischievous child sneaking a Ferrero from a gift box or a box meant for Mom mysteriously missing one, capturing the universal joy (and guilt) of giving in to temptation. The result was a story every South African could relate to, positioning Ferrero Rocher as a delicious indulgence that connects through both taste and humor.
