Have you ever eaten something that ‘just meals good’?
That’s the premise of Panera’s fun, new brand repositioning. The It Just Meals Good campaign marks a significant step in reintroducing and repositioning the fast-casual dining brand for modern audiences, especially Gen Z. In this episode of Campaign Chemistry, Campaign sits down with 72andSunny’s group creative director Peter Hughes and executive strategy director Geoff McHenry, along with Panera CMO Mark Shambura, for a behind-the-scenes look at Panera’s first campaign since selecting the shop as its agency of record. The team shares stories from the original business pitch to the production of the new spots, all while highlighting the key components of the brand identity that they saw a need to preserve.
