Beautiful TV advert launched to celebrate 25 years of Calzedonia, the Italian sock and underwear brand.
Although the advert is similar in style to the recent British Airways advert, (which just left me with a vague sense of ‘wanting more’,) this ad conveys beautifully the heritage, quality and longevity of the Calzedonia brand. Perhaps most importantly, it focuses solely on the customer experience.
The Calzedonia advert was created by Saatchi & Saatchi. The music is by Fabrizio Campanelli and was sung by Dorotea Mele. You can also see a backstage version of the video here.
