For decades, A&W's Burger Family lineup has long been a long-standing presence in A&W restaurants. Now, the iconic fast-food chain is reintroducing and recontextualizing its Burger Family, accompanied by compelling narratives that revolve around a redefined notion of family.
A&W - Departing From Ingredient-Focused Advertising
For years, A&W has captivated audiences with ingredient-focused advertising. However, the QSR brand and its longtime partner, Rethink, are now seeking new, meaningful ways to connect with Canadians. As per LBB Online, A&W's revamped strategy prioritizes emotional storytelling, using simple, human truths about relationships to guide its creative direction.
In the heartwarming "Bestie" spot, we meet a newly licensed teen driver and her best friend as they embark on a journey through an A&W drive-thru. Emphasizing their natural dynamic, the spot features young women with perfect chemistry despite their contrasting personalities.
Their improvised dialogue adds a relatable touch to the final edit of the 30-second spot, currently airing on TV, social media, and in theaters.
The evolved Burger Family positioning is a testament to the significant collaboration between A&W and Rethink over the past two decades. The TV spots and forthcoming brand identity work tap into comforting nostalgia, relying on distinctive brand icons and cherished memories of A&W.
