Panera’s Longest-Running Campaign

2014 - 2015 / Anomaly

In the span of 4 months I oversaw a skeleton crew of creatives working around the clock to develop, produce and launch the “Food as it Should Be “ Campaign. A national integrated rebrand including TV, OOH, print, digital, social, and POS.

Panera's stock price went from a -11% drop to a +31% increase within the first 6 months of campaign launch. The "Food as it Should be” platform is still in use more than 5 years later, even after Panera parted ways with Anomaly.

I’m proud of the work but more proud of the team.

these projects:

Chobani Less Sugar
A charmingly simple launch campaign that has a strong aesthetic through line.

Budweiser Qualuminum
Something else I did around the same time at Anomaly, with a lot of the same people but a very different execution.

TV Together Instead
Kind of the opposite sentimentally—funny instead of earnest, cynical instead of hopeful, but both coming at you with a very simple reason to buy.
