HACKENSACK, N.J., Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Country Crock® is sitting at the head of the table in a new national brand campaign titled, "Make your table legendary, with Country Crock." The fully integrated campaign celebrates the creative resourcefulness of parents who know how to make a little go a long way– with some help from an impressively versatile sidekick. This marks the first major campaign launch from the brand since 2020.
Developed in partnership with creative agency Preacher, which was named lead agency for Country Crock Original by brand owner, Upfield, earlier this year, the campaign builds on the brand's legacy of being the go-to choice of home cooks looking to put food on the family table that puts smiles on their family's faces.
The broadcast spots and social videos tell the story of one particular mom whose mouth-watering, imagination-fueling cooking skills have earned her a pretty legendary local reputation. The spots follow a pack of neighborhood kids as they swap stories about what Mrs. Stevens is whipping up in her kitchen, but even these tall tales aren't enough to dissuade them from heeding the siren song of the Stevens' family dinner table. Turns out, there's no myth or magic at play, just a hard-working mom pulling off impossibly good meals with little more than a generous spirit, a wink in her eye, and a trusty tub of Country Crock Original.
"This work celebrates parents who can seemingly do it all, often with slim resources-- and even more often, in service of their kids," said Tyler Booker, Associate Creative Director at Preacher. "Gathering a crew of youngins who are in awe of one particular mom's cooking skills-- skills so good they're almost supernatural -- was a really fun, creative opportunity for Country Crock and director, Clay Weiner, to evoke feelings of nostalgia for kid-centric, coming of age encounters that have inspired numerous iconic movies and shows. The unique twist of this work simultaneously heroizing both modern parents and a time-tested brand is something we're really proud of."
