The T and L Diaries

Premium Lifestyle Storytelling

COSTA COFFEE × THE T & L DIARIES

The coffee moments we come home to.

Slow mornings · Coffee for two · Cosy rituals · Everyday life

Some of our favourite moments at home are also the simplest.

Waking up slowly. Making coffee while breakfast is cooking. Sitting together before the working day begins. A fresh bed on a Friday. Coffee and something sweet on a Sunday afternoon.

We’d love to bring Costa Coffee at Home into these everyday moments through warm, story-led content that captures the comfort of a familiar Costa coffee — enjoyed from home.

MADE FOR MORNINGS LIKE THESE

Bringing a little Costa moment into everyday life at home.

Our content celebrates the routines that can easily pass us by.

We turn them into something worth slowing down for.

Coffee already plays a natural role within our morning routines, weekend resets and home content, creating an opportunity for Costa Coffee to become part of a story our audience already recognises.

FIRST COFFEE

That first coffee while the house is still quiet.

COFFEE FOR TWO

Two mugs, breakfast together and a few minutes before the day begins.

WEEKEND COMFORTS

Fresh sheets, something baking and nowhere we need to be.


THE CREATIVE VISION

Familiar coffee. Beautiful everyday moments.

For The T & L Diaries, a Costa at Home collaboration wouldn’t begin with the product.

It would begin with the moment.

Morning light coming through the kitchen.

The sound of the coffee machine.

Two mugs waiting on the worktop.

Breakfast being prepared.

A book left open on the sofa.

And that first sip before the day properly starts.

Through warm, cinematic videography and intimate lifestyle photography, we’d position Costa as part of the little rituals that make being at home feel special.

WARM

Natural morning light · Creams · Woods · Stone · Soft textiles

TACTILE

Coffee pouring · Steam · Capsules · Ceramics · Fresh bread · Pastries

LIVED-IN

Breakfast for two · Books · Slippers · Fresh bedding · Baking · Conversations over coffee


CONTENT WE’D LOVE TO CREATE

01 — THE FIRST COFFEE OF THE DAY

The story

A signature T & L Diaries morning.

Waking up, making the bed together and heading downstairs before making our first Costa coffees of the day.

Breakfast follows, then a few quiet moments together before opening the laptops and starting work.

The integration

Rather than stopping the vlog for a traditional product placement, making our Costa coffee becomes a recognisable part of the morning itself.

Perfect for

Instagram Reels · TikTok · Stories · Lifestyle photography

02 — COFFEE FOR TWO

The story

His coffee. Her coffee.

One little morning ritual we always share.

A couple-led piece following us making our individual Costa coffees before sitting down together for breakfast.

Whether our orders are completely different or surprisingly similar, the content celebrates something at the heart of The T & L Diaries:

ordinary moments are better shared.

Perfect for

Instagram Reels · TikTok · Stories · Carousel

03 — OUR FRIDAY MORNING RESET

The story

Friday is the morning we start getting the house ready for the weekend.

Fresh sheets go on the bed, everything gets a little reset and then it’s time for breakfast and coffee.

Costa naturally becomes the little reward at the end of the routine — clean home, fresh bedding and that feeling that the weekend is about to begin.

Perfect for

Instagram Reels · TikTok · Stories

04 — THE WEEKEND COFFEE DATE

The story

No reservations. No rushing out of the house.

Just our favourite coffees, pastries and a slow morning together.

We’d create our own little Costa-inspired coffee date at home, showing how an ordinary Saturday or Sunday can become something worth looking forward to.

FROM COFFEE SHOP TO OUR KITCHEN

Recreating our favourite coffee moments at home.

One recurring content concept we’d love to explore is bringing some of the fun of ordering a favourite coffee into our own kitchen.

From recreating familiar coffee-shop favourites to trying something new together, each episode could turn the process of making coffee at home into part of the entertainment.

HIS ORDER

Troy makes his coffee exactly how he likes it.

HER ORDER

Libby creates hers — with a little seasonal twist whenever possible.

THE TASTE TEST

Coffee in hand, we sit down together and compare.

A simple, repeatable format that allows different Costa products, flavours and seasonal moments to take centre stage while retaining the familiar T & L Diaries couple dynamic.


A YEAR OF COSTA MOMENTS

The ritual stays. The season changes.

Coffee is one of those rare products that naturally follows our content throughout the entire year.

AUTUMN

The return of cosy coffee mornings

Rainy mornings · Autumn baking · Reading days · Weekend resets · Seasonal coffee recipes · First cosy weekend

CHRISTMAS

The most magical coffee mornings of the year

Decorating the tree · Christmas baking · Wrapping presents · Festive breakfasts · Hosting friends · Christmas morning

WINTER

Coffee worth staying in for

Slow Sundays · Fresh bedding · Books by the fire · Weekend breakfasts · Work-from-home mornings

SPRING & SUMMER

A slower start to brighter days

Iced coffees · Breakfast outside · Weekend plans · Travel mornings · Coffee before heading out for the day


MORE THAN ONE MORNING

Building a recognisable coffee ritual.

Building Costa into a recognisable part of our world.

We believe the strongest creator partnerships are built through familiarity.

Rather than introducing Costa for one sponsored Reel and never seeing it again, we’d love the opportunity to build a longer story around the brand.

One where our audience begins to associate Costa with the moments they already come to The T & L Diaries for.

This creates the opportunity for:

Seasonal campaigns
Autumn · Christmas · New Year · Spring · Summer

Product launches
New coffees · Flavours · Formats · At-home innovations

Always-on storytelling
Natural appearances between larger campaign moments

Multi-platform content
Instagram · TikTok · YouTube · Photography · UGC


WHY THE T & L DIARIES?

COFFEE ALREADY BELONGS HERE

Coffee isn’t something we’d need to introduce purely for a partnership. It’s already woven throughout our everyday content.

A Couple Perspective Two people, two routines and potentially two completely different coffee orders give us a playful creative angle beyond traditional solo coffee content.

Story Before Advertising Our approach places products within a wider lifestyle story, helping branded content retain the warmth and familiarity of our organic content.

A Home Made For Slow Moments Our cosy cottage-style home gives Costa at Home a warm, tactile setting for morning, seasonal and lifestyle storytelling.

CONTENT THAT EVOLVES WITH THE SEASONS

Our audience follows the changing rhythms of our home throughout the year, creating natural opportunities for Costa to move with us from iced summer mornings into autumn, Christmas and beyond.


LET’S MAKE EVERYDAY COFFEE WORTH SLOWING DOWN FOR

We’d love to explore how Costa Coffee could become part of the everyday moments our audience already shares with us.

From the first coffee of the morning to weekend dates, fresh-sheet Fridays and the first cosy morning of autumn, we’d love to create content that feels unmistakably Costa — and unmistakably The T & L Diaries.

Romanticising the everyday, one coffee at a time.
