With the launch of “This Good” campaign, Freddy’s embraces steakburgers and custard treats as ultimate indulgence in a balanced life
WICHITA, Kan., (Nov. 6, 2017) – Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers® and Sterling-Rice Group (SRG) are launching the first-ever fast casual campaign embracing balance and moderation. The campaign, titled “This Good,” transparently positions Freddy’s meals and frozen custard treats as a satisfying indulgence in a balanced life.
“Freddy’s is known for craveable, cooked-to-order steakburgers and freshly-churned frozen custard. An authentic Freddy’s experience is extremely satisfying,” said Shelley Young, Vice President of Marketing for Freddy’s. “With this campaign, we’re reminding our current guests, and those anticipating a new Freddy’s restaurant in their community, that Freddy’s steakburgers are the most delicious available – anywhere – and worthy of an indulgence.”
The national campaign, “This Good,” launches today, and will run across print, digital, outdoor billboards, social media, in-store, and radio.
“Market data proves that the humble hamburger remains king. When consumers choose to indulge, they owe it to themselves to have the best and Freddy’s is the best,” said Adam Wohl, SRG Executive Creative Director. “This campaign reflects what we already hear from Freddy’s guests on social media. “This Good” came to life because Freddy’s understands their guests and as a brand strives to be transparent and honest. That’s Freddy’s at its core.”
Co-founded in 2002 by brothers Bill and Randy Simon, and friend and business partner, Scott Redler, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is named after Bill and Randy’s father and World War II veteran, Freddy Simon. Freddy’s hired SRG as Agency of Record in August.
