(PRLeap.com) Kimbo, the iconic Neapolitan coffee brand, proudly announces its participation in the international action/drama series Hotel Costiera. Filmed in English and directed by Emmy Award winner Adam Bernstein alongside Giacomo Martelli, the series is set among the breathtaking backdrop and the most evocative locations of the Amalfi Coast and the Gulf of Naples.The show stars Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy) as Daniel "DD" De Luca, a former Marine who returns to his homeland to work as a "problem solver" at an exclusive luxury hotel in Positano. He is joined by an outstanding international and Italian cast, including Maria Chiara Giannetta, Jordan Alexandra, Antonio Gerardi, Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno, Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, Alejandra Onieva, and Jean-Hugues Anglade.
Hotel Costiera is available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and in the English-speaking countries - the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Kimbo, the beating heart of Bignè Bar
Kimbo coffee becomes an integral part of the story thanks to an innovative product placement project. The bar owned by the show's co-protagonist Bignè (Antonio Gerardi) - a symbolic meeting place for key conversations among the characters - is a Kimbo-branded space for socializing and connecting. In the series' script, as in everyday life, coffee rituals accompany every social moment, reinforcing authenticity of the scene while showcasing Italian culture in a contemporary and international way.
The collaboration with Jesse Williams
The partnership between Kimbo and Hotel Costiera is further enriched by the direct involvement of lead actor Jesse Williams, who will support Kimbo internationally. Branded contents featuring Williams had been and will be released online, strengthening the bond between Neapolitan tradition and a cosmopolitan audience.
Exclusive events in Positano and Rome
Kimbo also played a prominent role in two exclusive events organized by Lux Vide and Prime Video to launch the series in Italy: the Influencer Day at Torre Sponda (Positano), an immersive experience for international creators that included a Neapolitan coffee masterclass curated by Kimbo; and the official premiere in Rome at The Space Moderno cinema, where Kimbo partnered with the preview screening of the first episode featuring a red carpet, signature coffee cocktails, and the presence of the cast, celebrities, and international press.
Bridging tradition and international lifestyle
"With this partnership, Kimbo consolidates its vocation as the ambassador of Neapolitan excellence worldwide, bringing the authenticity of Italian coffee into an international narrative and lifestyle context, capable of appealing to both Italian and global audiences," says Massimiliano Scala, Head of Marketing at Kimbo. "Through Hotel Costiera, Kimbo, the coffee of Naples, is now also a protagonist on Prime Video."
