The creative team focussed on on the aesthetics of the clear glass kettle, following research that revealed that consumers want a good-looking kettle on their worktop to complete their perfect kitchen. Aesthetics are important to all target markets and so the campaign focuses on the beauty in kitchen ingredients, utensils and the clear glass kettle. To make something so unique out of the ordinary demanded a special photographer, Neil Marra Creative Director and Founder of Creative Spark called on Paul Burch to make this happen.
