SUMMARY
Red Lobster needed to reclaim its spot as the top casual dining restaurant in the country. The Sea Food Differently campaign showcases all of the fresh, new things happening at Red Lobster. Utilizing real employees to tell the brands story humanizes the brand that once felt too corporate allowing for an honest, authentic message that resonates with our guests and reignites their faith in the brand. While competitors saw declining numbers, since launch, our campaign turned the brand around raising guest counts and sales.
