PRESS - AMERICAN EXPRESS - COMMERCIAL FEATURING DOUG ZELL

Doug Zell has been a cardmember for many years now and Intelligentsia uses American Express company-wide, so when Amex asked him to participate in a commercial, he agreed with only slight hesitation.  Here you have Doug in the Newark airport at like 3AM after many, many takes, looking to “catch a flight to San Francisco”.  He said that the whole experience was “otherworldly” and we appreciate American Express asking us to partner with them in such a prominent way.  The exposure is nice, and if even one person chooses to explore Specialty Coffee after seeing the Intelligentsia Coffee name, we consider it a worthy endeavor... and we hope lots of people get American Express cards.  Really.  They’re great.

…and please don’t ask what is going to happen to the guy with the kitties on his credit card because honestly, we don’t know.
