Jennifer Love Hewitt finds Ferrero Rocher's golden touch

Tis the season for Ferrero Rocher candies on your holiday table, as lovingly depicted in the new ad Add Your Golden Touch, directed by Alison Roberto of STORY, and featuring actress, director, and holiday lover, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

The campaign was created by agency Edelman and is currently airing nationally.

“I have been a big Jennifer Love Hewitt fan my entire life, my best friend and I watched Can’t Hardly Wait several hundred times,” Roberto says, ”needless to say, I was excited to work with her. Jennifer was so much fun to be with on set. She’s super ‘real,’ kind, and extremely funny. We had a great day together. She was collaborative and nailed her performances with ease. We bonded while talking about our young sons and the inherent challenges of being a working Mom.”

The spot is lit with stunning elegance, bathed in a golden hue that reinforces the brand’s distinctive gold foil wrapping. It features Hewitt sharing simple ways you can ‘add your golden touch’ with Ferrero Rocher, such as custom handwritten place cards, pyramid centrepieces, and post-dinner gifts.

For Roberto, the only challenge, as is so often the case, was time. “Our film day was filled with variations for our commercial and various social pieces for the campaign all while Jennifer was in the middle of filming a movie, so our time with her was limited. Fortunately, I have the best crew that always rises to the occasion. We film a lot of celebrity work, so we were prepared and up for the challenge.”

Mark Androw, Executive Producer of STORY along with Cliff Grant, adds that the inevitable time crunch was lessened thanks to a full prelight day on location and Alison and her team having everything mapped out so the shoot day went flawlessly.

“We have a great working relationship with Edelman and their Head of Production, Aldo Gagliard,” Androw says. “The agency was anxious about getting a lot done with the celebrity and the short amount of time we had her. They knew that we had a lot of experience working with celebrities with hard-out deadlines. When our company first opened, we did several spots with Michael Jordan, and we learned the discipline required to get a lot done and not keep the celebrity waiting. The three most important things in production are: pre-production, pre-production, and pre-production.”
