Revealing an edgier and more playful expression of the brand’s Live The French Way ethos this digital campaign of six stylish short films showcase the brand’s passion for arts and culture by bringing the whimsy of the French language to life. The FRENCH IT! films capture an intriguing new mood with their refreshing take on French idioms that are little known outside of France, inviting all to Live The French Way through the richness of the French language. As a powerful, influential and respectful voice on modern French Art de Vivre, Sofitel shares the playful attitude in which the French express themselves, with a selection of quirky sayings creatively captured through a highly conceptual and contemporary lens. The campaign features a diverse cast of confident and powerful women, each embodying what it is to Live The French Way.
