Executive Signal Summary

Starbucks Switzerland has launched its first campaign specifically produced for the Swiss market, developed by the agency Jim & Jim. The campaign, titled 'Da wird gläbt', celebrates the company's 25th anniversary in Switzerland.

The film was shot over three days at the Starbucks store in Winterthur and at Lake Sihl. The campaign includes six cutdowns, seven static visuals, and three versions for in-store use. It introduces a barista as a host and uses handwritten cup messages to add a Swiss touch. The campaign will run in several flights throughout 2026 and 2027, primarily online and via programmatic DOOH. Jim & Jim was appointed as lead agency in 2025 after a multi-stage pitch process.
