Madison, Wisconsin (PRWEB) September 27, 2016 -- The new campaign reaffirms the sandwich chain’s dedication to providing consumers with a unique, flavorful experience in every interaction with the Erbert & Gerbert’s brand. The campaign launches as the sandwich chain launches its 100th sandwich location.
“Live Flavorfully is an affirmation of what we’ve always stood for and a declaration for our purpose as a sandwich chain,” said Eric Wolfe, president, CEO and chairman of E&G Franchise Systems. “The Erbert and Gerbert’s brand story has always been uniquely endearing, but with Shine United’s help we have been able to focus our messaging in a way that more clearly gets us our unfair share of attention.”
Erbert & Gerbert’s agency of record, Shine United, developed the Live Flavorfully campaign, featuring digital and radio advertising, social media, and an updated in-store experience, including food packaging, interior signage and décor, staff uniforms and external signage and messaging.
LIVE FLAVORFULLY
The campaign speaks directly to the brand’s greatest point of difference, flavor. Sandwiches with intense toppings and unique sauces. Small-batch soups that tantalize taste buds. And a commitment to delivering a truly unique, satisfying guest experience.
“It starts with the unique sandwiches and small batch soups, but it’s more than that,” said John Krull, partner and creative director at Shine United. “Live Flavorfully is an aspirational philosophy that goes far beyond just what you eat. It’s about adding flavor to every part of your Erbert & Gerbert’s experience.”
DIGITAL ADVERTISING
One digital display ad exclaims, “Holy Cranberry Wasabi,” to emphasize the intense flavor of the franchise’s sandwich ingredients. Another says, almost in disbelief, “No Peppadew Mustard Way.” The ads drive customers to find an Erbert & Gerbert’s location or to order online.
RADIO ADVERTISING
Two new radio spots playfully personify how Erbert & Gerbert’s is living flavorfully. One spot uses not so subliminal messaging to make mouths water and the second uses a thesaurus to find the most flavorful descriptions possible of their sub sandwiches.
SOCIAL MEDIA
A robust social media campaign encourages customers to get out of their #LunchRut, complete with a launch video, series of photographics and a promotion where the best (or worst) lunch rut photo wins a catered lunch for an entire workplace. One photographic features a bleak image of leftover Chinese food with the headline, “There’s a reason it’s left over.” Another includes a burrito inside a microwave with the headline, “NSFW.”
