Nespresso has made Dua Lipa its new global brand ambassador and launched the 'Vertuo World' campaign, positioning the pop star as a guide to different coffee moods and occasions across multiple international locations. The Nespresso Dua Lipa campaign features a brief appearance by longtime ambassador George Clooney, linking the new creative direction to the brand's heritage.
Alongside the marketing campaign, Nespresso has introduced the 'Vertuo Up,' a new machine featuring a three-second warm-up, a dedicated button for better extractions for cold and milk-based drinks and a redesigned lever system. The new machine also reads each Nespresso capsule individually to adjust to the specific brew, and this works across more than 50 coffee styles.
