Muffin Break has launched a new brand platform, Café Diem, encouraging Australians to make the most of their café experience.
The platform was developed with creative agency jnr., appointed Muffin Break’s agency of record in March, alongside media partner Avenue C.
Launched in Australia in 1989, Muffin Break has refreshed its brand to reach new audiences. Café Diem positions the chain as a place to grab a coffee, something to eat, and seize the day.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to unveil our latest brand campaign for Muffin Break, a brand that holds a special place in the hearts (and stomachs!) of so many Australians,” Donna Oakley-Davies, General Manager of Customer & Marketing of Muffin Break, said.
“This new platform is a playful invitation for both our cherished loyal customers and new friends alike to rediscover the delightful world of Muffin Break.
“From our delicious Bacon and Egg Rolls that kickstart your morning to our satisfying Savoury Melts and Wraps perfect for lunch, and of course, our legendary muffins and award-winning coffee – there’s a whole universe of deliciousness waiting!
Oakley-Davies added: “It’s been a fantastic journey this year, really diving deep into what our customers adore about Muffin Break and bringing back that fun, engaging spirit with our brilliant partners at jnr.
“We’re crossing our fingers (and toes!) that everyone loves it as much as we do!”
Ryan O’Connell, jnr.’s Chief Strategy Officer and co-founder, said: “A lot of coffee shop experiences have become very transactional, soulless and functional. We want to bring some smiles and a little bit playful fun back into it.
“A coffee and something great to eat should set you up to take on the day. But we’re pretty honest in knowing it’s not going to change your life either! So we had some fun with that in this campaign.”
John Marshall, jnr. Managing Director and co-founder, added: “From the bold outdoor, to the smile-inducing short form films, we wanted to ensure the brand and the products were always the heroes.
“We’re really happy with how the campaign turned out, and we’re excited about the new direction of the brand and business.”
