Stella Artois Reinvigorates Brand, Inviting Consumers To Connect Over Meals

Stella Artois is kicking off a new era of modernization by building upon its successful “Make Time for the Life Artois” campaign and encouraging 21+ people to connect in meaningful ways around the dinner table. With the new creative, Stella Artois is adding a vibrant flair that is relevant to a new consumer, focusing on real people and authentic connections. 

The premium lager is elevating the brand’s role at the dinner table with a new commercial and the biggest, most fully integrated 360-campaign in more than half a decade. The stunning new visuals feature friends gathering at a lively dinner table, with an element of fun and spontaneity in each shot. The ‘new’ Stella Artois table has no fixed address; it could be at a restaurant, at home, or even on a sofa or pizza box lid. With Stella Artois new approach to meals, the dinner table is anywhere we can savor life and express our true selves, with style.  

“For ages, dinner served as a time for gathering and connection, and now we have grown accustomed to eating alone. In a world where we strive for connection, Stella Artois’ role as a brand to authentically bring people together over dinner is more relevant than ever,” said Marcela Garcia, Vice President of Marketing for Stella Artois. “Throughout the course of the year, we’ll leverage the power of Stella Artois to create meaningful connections over dinner and around casual meals to become a mealtime staple.”  

In “Table Drop,” Stella Artois’ newest commercial, the main character is dining alone and enjoying a Stella Artois in her apartment. Her table drops through the floor into the apartment below her, uniting her with her neighbor who is also eating dinner alone. With the table drop, Stella Artois serves as a catalyst to connect her with a friend through an unexpected drop. This happens through multiple floors of the apartment building, bringing people together for dinner and a Stella Artois, ending with a massive celebration with all the neighbors. The new spot perfectly exemplifies how unplanned and unexpected moments can lead to fun and meaningful connections thanks to Stella Artois.
