01 / The work

From brief
to format.

A complete creative system designed to hold creator identity, product presence, message clarity and social pacing together.

01 / Creative translation

A voice,
not an ad.

We translated campaign objectives into Nonna Silvi’s natural language while preserving both creator recognition and brand precision.

02 / Concept and hooks

Three openings.
One direction.

Three alternative scroll-stopping openings, followed by one structure that moves quickly from curiosity to the product.

03 / Script and retention

Every second
has a role.

A complete script and beat map for a 48–58 second master, with progression, reveal and a memorable close.

04 / Visual direction

Dolce Vita,
the Silvi way.

Set, outfit, props and palette were defined to evoke an Italian mood with an authentic, warm and instantly readable tone.

05 / Production blueprint

Before set,
everything clear.

9:16 framing, shot list, B-roll, food styling and product presence: an execution guide designed to reduce friction during production.

06 / Delivery and governance

One piece.
The full system.

Master, cutdown, cover, subtitles, caption, tags and #adv guidance prepared as one coherent, controllable package.

02 / Narrative architecture

Three movements.
One rhythm.

01 / Hook Stop
the scroll.

An immediate contrast and a simple question open the story in the creator’s own voice.

02 / Making Show
the proof.

Ingredients, gestures and details build desire while the product remains the narrative reference.

03 / Close Leave
a mark.

Taste, verdict and a circular close bring everything back to Nonna Silvi’s personality.

03 / Public proof

The official context.

The public McChicken Creation page documents the McDonald’s campaign with GialloZafferano and the Il Romano product. The link leads to the campaign page, not to press documents containing personal contacts.
