Our idea was to awaken the Taiwanese youth to find a new way to seek and express their love, The French way.

The French have many sayings to express the romantic views of love.

And in the eyes of Taiwanese people, France represents romance.

We turn these classic French sayings into Taiwanese young generation’s romantic attitude towards love.

We captured three extremely local contexts and situations that the Taiwanese youth could relate with. The twist was that the stories were narrated through the lens of popular French sayings about romance, thus brewing our very own language of love. Starting April 2017, the films were released across the television and theatre, a brand new coffee cup packaging were also launched along with the films.

These French Sayings gave the youth a fresh take on love that they could more openly embrace, and the brand, a new conversation starter around romance.

The series of our ‘French Brewed Romance’ films, were released on television and in theatres across Taiwan to a huge reception that attracted a huge response from viewers.

Our fresh reinterpretation of the brand not only got original consumers talking, but also successfully attracted a wider audience of younger consumers, helping them to understand the many different expressions of romance that they can surround their lives with via ‘Seine River Café’.

To continue the buzz surrounding the films, we held an online event called “My French Saying”, inviting consumers to submit their favorite French expression of romance. The event received over 12,000 comments in the first few days, building on the conversation around romance and driving an increase in nationwide sales of 'Seine River Café’.
