Buzzi beat off more than 4,000 applicants to win the ‘Kisser Casting’ competition, which was open to more than 800,000 people who were fans of the brand on Facebook.

The split-screen film directed by Peter Thwaites is intended to convey the message that people make their own luck by showing the consequences of different decisions.
