Panera Bread and ad agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners (GS&P) roll out the “Your Cup Is Always Full” campaign to introduce a new unlimited-coffee subscription for $8.99 a month. After subscribing through the MyPanera app, consumers will be able to walk into a Panera location at any point during the day and get a fresh cup of coffee.
“We love our coffee in this country,” said GS&P CCO Margaret Johnson. “It comes with this feeling of optimism–like you can take on anything. ‘Your cup is always full’ is both a literal promise from Panera and an embodiment of that optimistic feeling.”
With demand for premium coffee at an all-time high, Panera is aiming to take the guilt trip out of the coffee run for millions of Americans.
Helping to introduce the campaign is this 30-second spot, “Sunrise,” directed by Craig Gillespie of production house MJZ. In the commercial, many people from varied walks of life head en masse to the nearest Panera restaurant to get their empty coffee cups filled.
Music/sound house was Barking Owl, which also handled audio post on the commercial.

Stain remover Vanish presents this emotional short film--created by BETC Havas, Sao Paulo, and produced by LOBO--that explores the profound consequences of bullying and highlights the importance of open conversations between parents and children. Titled The Bully Monster, the animated film premiered at the Maquinaria Festival in Rio de Janeiro on February 15 in a special edition featuring family-focused programming.
The film’s protagonist is a boy who experiences bullying at school but keeps silent about his suffering. Isolation turns sadness into insecurity, creating invisible emotional scars that only grow in the absence of dialogue. When his mother notices stains on his uniform, these marks become the starting point for a revealing conversation. As words find space to make themselves heard, the stains begin to fade.
This initiative aligns with the Vanish Saves Your Uniform campaign, which, for the past three years during the back-to-school season, has engaged with parents by positioning the brand as a trusted partner in preserving school uniforms. This year, Vanish decided to broaden the conversation, bringing bullying into the debate as the real stain that can impact a child’s life.
The Bully Monster is being screened as preshow material in movie theaters starting February 20 and will also be available on streaming platforms and digital channels. In addition to the film, the campaign will include out-of-home activations and school initiatives through a partnership with Abrace – Preventive Programs, the founding organization of the “Bullying-Free Schools” program, which has been equipping institutions with resources to combat school violence for 12 years.
