Culver'sTurns out, curd nerds live in other
 states too

Challenge

We’ve partnered with Culver’s since 2010, helping build the iconic brand voice for their Welcome To Delicious campaign as they grew beyond the Midwest. But competing against deep-pocketed restaurant giants means we constantly ask ourselves how we can be scrappier, smarter and saucier, always finding ways to make something that already works work even harder.

Solution

We knew one thing our competitors could never tout—our proud Wisconsin roots, something we discovered that our audience in new markets couldn’t get enough of. So, we brought our brand idea, From Wisconsin With Love, to the forefront in a revamped way. We rolled it out across every medium, from national TV spots to a multicity food truck tour, driving new awareness, new visits and a whole lot more love for ButterBurgers. Within one year, that love translated into 2.5 million additional store visits and a 6.8% lift in same-store sales.
