Chuck E. Cheese's Selects Zimmerman
CEC Entertainment moves creative business to tout revamped stores, new food and ambitious growth plans
IRVING, Texas, July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Chuck E. Cheese's isn't playing games any more – not with food and not with their creative work. As part of ongoing enhancements across the business, the company has selected Omnicom's Fort Lauderdale-based Zimmerman Advertising as lead agency on the iconic brand's strategy, promotion, media and integrated creative.
"Chuck E. Cheese's has undergone a tremendous amount of change in the last year and we need an agency able to keep up with our breakneck pace and hunger for consumer insight," said Michael Hartman, Chuck E. Cheese's Chief Marketing Officer. "After a lengthy creative review, we found Zimmerman shares our vision for success and obsession with metrics. They are the right agency at the right time to help us ring in a new era of Chuck E."
In recent months Chuck E. Cheese's has launched an updated menu, including whole-wheat wraps, new sandwiches, and thin crust and artisan pizza options such as the Cali-Alfredo and Barbeque Chicken. CEC is also improving the experience for adults with Wi-Fi in all locations.
"Chuck E. Cheese's is a great concept with brand recognition off the charts. We are excited to work with a leadership team so focused on consumer experience," said Michael Goldberg, CEO of Zimmerman. "This is more than a legacy brand, it's a great restaurant. As long as families with young kids are eating out, our opportunity is more frequent consideration."
Founded in San Jose, Calif., in 1977, Chuck E. Cheese's features food and entertainment options for all ages, from pizza and a salad bar, to games appropriate for toddlers, kids, teens and adults. Chuck E. Cheese's was the first concept to integrate food with games and has maintained its standing as a leader in family entertainment.
