Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players in the world, is exchanging his racket for an apron as he meets his match in Barilla’s new global advertising campaign ‘Masters of Pasta’. Federer is undeniably a master in the court, but can he learn how to cook the perfect pasta?

In ‘Masters of Pasta’ we watch Federer become the apprentice as he heads into the kitchen for his first cooking lesson. His master and adversary is award-winning and Michelin-starred chef Davide Oldani, recognised for his contemporary Italian cuisine and endless love for an al dente plate of pasta.

Directed by Mark Hoffman, the fast-paced visual feast portrays the tense yet humorous relationship between Oldani and Federer as together they master the perfect Spaghetti al Pomodoro. This is the first campaign featuring Roger Federer as its brand ambassador and the first work created with 72andSunny Amsterdam, Barilla’s global creative agency.

‘Masters of Pasta’ is launching in more than 40 countries worldwide, including the USA, Australia, Japan, Italy, Germany and France. The campaign includes TVC, online, social media content, OOH and DOOH. The anthem film was revealed on Roger Federer’s social channels, following a series of teasers released by Oldani and Federer.
