A Cookin’ Colonel Becomes Instantly Cool In This Rappin’ Spot For KFC

KFC can be one of those tricky legacy brands that essentially retains a young audience.

In there lies the problem – how do you make your ageing, stuffy old figurehead Colonel Sanders appear cool to the Zs and the Ys?

Well, the brand in France has had a stab and you’d have to say pulled it off remarkably well.

KFC France and its brand new creative agency Havas Paris have signed a cool and funky first opus directed by Vincent Lobelle and a real ode to crispy food!

The 45-second film is carried by an original soundtrack named “Crispy” and produced by HRCLS, Havas Paris’ integrated production house. The track links the past and the present, and will become the emblem and common thread of the brand’s statements throughout the year.

The release of the new work follows KFC’s plans to double the number of its restaurants in France to 600 within five years.
