Arby's Ties Its Meat Messaging to Hunting Season in New Campaign
Posted in: Uncategorized
The new campaign is the latest effort by Arby’s, which sees itself as a challenger brand with less to spend than larger fast feeders, to aim its marketing at specific groups. For example, Arby’s is the official quick-service restaurant partner for E-league, which began its first season this spring. The idea of reaching out to hunters has been in the works for a while. The chain waited until the kickoff of fall hunting season for a bigger impact and said the campaign is set to run through the end of the year.
“We feel like that’s a community that’s very passionate about what they do,” Rob Lynch, brand president and chief marketing officer, told Ad Age in May. “It may not be this huge, broad-reaching activity that everyone in America participates in, but the people that do are passionate about it, and given what our brand stands for, we’re all about meat, we feel like there’s a connection there.”
In one of three new TV commercials, the camera pans across a wooded area, complete with a hoof print shown on the ground, as Ving Rhames says “whether it’s winged, antlered or finned, Arby’s supports your pursuit of meats.”
