Coffee Mate takes on Canadian mornings

(Those raccoons are Rocket)

We all know a bad cup of coffee can ruin a good morning. But can a cup of coffee be so good that it can save a bad morning? Well, if you ask Coffee Mate, maybe. 

In the latest campaign for Coffee Mate, Nestlé Canada and McCann Canada aren’t promising that a cup of rich and creamy coffee can cure the morning blues. Just that it certainly can’t hurt. 

Produced by Beverly Hills-based Circle Productions, the campaign comedically presents less-than-ideal situations that could easily ruin a morning, like a family of raccoons moving into the dishwasher or a giant, mysterious sinkhole appearing overnight, and remedies them with the only viable solution – coffee. And while a regular cup clearly isn’t going to cut it, a rich and creamy cup of coffee, with Coffee Mate, just might.  Watch below:





“Mornings need Coffee Mate” will run across Canadian broadcast, social and YouTube beginning March 15.
