For the global consumer, pasta is pasta. Other than shapes, they're all the same.
We wanted to put Barilla above product level and sell an experience.
Because cooking is an experience. It's sensorial, it's a moment to connect with yourself and others. We focused on behaviour, human insights and above all entertainment value. We gave them an excuse to cook and to do it with Barilla.

The Playlist Timer campaign aimed to highlight cooking as an art form and as entertainment.
Barilla integrated the playlists to work with several home voice assistants, including Apple’s Siri, Amazon Alexa and Google Home, to make starting the timer even easier while prepping food.
Using Spotify’s algorithm, the targeted audio ads changed depending on the genre of music being played. As a result, a user who likes indie music would be served an ad for the Moody Day Linguine playlist, which contained instructions on how to activate the timer using their home smart speaker. The campaign was also advertised on Instagram within the Stories section of the app.
