The spot was created by ad agency McKinney and looks to reinvigorate interest in the 100-year-old condiment maker.
Texas Pete has been around since 1929 and, with the hot sauce market growing, it is looking to remind Americans of its place on shelves.
‘The Ballad of Texas Pete’ highlights the brand’s deep roots in Southern culture and its overlooked yet iconic cowboy mascot with a boot-stompin’ ballad that is catchy and quick. The campaign contains four shorts.
The video-led campaign will run across connected TV, online video and social and will appear in retail search, in-store aisle signage and bespoke merchandising activations throughout the year.
