"I'm so proud of our new campaign and believe we've created a message that really differentiates who we are as a brand," said Christie Finley, chief brand officer for Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. "In today's fast-paced environment, I believe our guests are going to connect with our back to basics approach that shows our commitment to quality and recipes that have been handed down for generations."
The launch of the "We Speak Barbecue" campaign marks the most significant repositioning effort in the company's 73-year history. Created by Dickey's in-house marketing team, the creative platform debuts the new tagline "We Speak Barbecue" and includes multiple 30-second national television spots, radio advertisements and a digital campaign aimed at showing consumers how the brand starts the slow smoking process long before guests arrive. The integrated advertising campaign will emphasize the company's commitment to providing authentic slow smoked barbecue that is made with passion and dedication to the barbecue craft.
The television spot features a reverse deconstruction technique and also a signature new song, "Take Me Back," written specifically for the campaign by singer songwriter, Eddie Berman. Additional commercials feature Roland Dickey, Sr., Chairman of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.
In conjunction with the new campaign, Dickey's is launching a social media contest that asks guests "What is barbecue to you?" Guests are asked to upload a photo or video on the national Facebook, Twitter or Instagram page using the hashtag #WeSpeakBarbecue. The best photo will win free barbecue for an entire year.
