Portuguese term or phrase: A vida é um prato cheio
A campanha também traz a nova tagline da marca: A Vida é um Prato Cheio. O CCO da Peppery, Jairo Anderson, chama à atenção para o cerne do novo posicionamento: “resgatar a essência divertida e otimista da marca. Porque comer no Giraffas não é só matar a fome com comida de muita qualidade, mas também encarar a vida sob uma ótica divertida, otimista, de quem vê o sempre o lado ‘prato cheio’ da vida", afirma.
