(Pickles scream at new Chicken Sandwich)
To signal the arrival of Smashburger’s new Scorchin’ Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich, creative & media AOR Partners + Napier created “Pickles,” a video developed specifically for social feed placement where spots are typically viewed with the sound off.
Rather than just accepting that reality, the team leaned into it by making the captions startling enough to grab a viewer’s attention and bring an unexpected “voice” to the chicken wars. The Smashburger’s spot was made in-house by the agency’s own Gammut Productions.
