LaDainian Tomlinson Conquers a Hard Day of Work in the Latest Chunky(TM) Soup Advertising Campaign

Mowing the lawn, pleasing their boss and spending time with the kids are just some of the routine tasks that hard-working men and women face every day. In the latest installment of the famed Campbells® Chunky soup advertising campaign, one of the NFLs most dominant offensive forces will do just the same. San Diego Chargers running back and former league MVP, LaDainian Tomlinson, tackles his own workday while refueling on Campbells Chunky soup in the appropriately titled Working Day campaign, set to launch during the NFLs Kickoff weekend, beginning Thursday, September 4, 2008.

Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) is marking Chunky soups 11th year as an NFL sponsor with a new game plan for its advertising campaign the first time in a decade that the campaign will focus on one marquee player. LT, who is starring in the Chunky soup campaign for the second consecutive year and is considered to be a hard-working everyman on and off the field, is the sole focus of the 2008-09 advertising. The campaign communicates making the right food choices for yourself, using the new tagline of Fill Up On The Good Stuff.

Hard-working men and women know that they can look to a soup like Chunky Beef with Country Vegetables to get satisfied with lean meat protein and hearty vegetables, said Campbells Chunky soup Brand Manager Doug Brand. LT prides himself on making smart decisions in his office and at his kitchen table, and weve found that consumers want to do the same for themselves too.

Working Day is set in LTs office -- 100 yards of grass in a packed stadium -- where hell put in a hard days work facing run-ins with co-workers (defensive players), pleasing his boss (Coach Turner) not to mention getting noticed by the people at the top (fans), all before he refuels on the lean meat protein in Chunky Steak N Potato soup. Chargers head coach, Norv Turner, will also make his acting debut in Autograph as LTs boss a job he knows well.

The Working Day advertising campaign consists of two :30 and three :15 broadcast spots, as well as print, radio and online advertising. In addition, Working Day ads featuring Chunky soup also will be seen on outdoor posters peppering construction sites in Detroit and Washington D.C., emphasizing the hard-working theme of the campaign.

The Campbells Chunky soup Working Day advertising campaign will introduce the new trademark, Fill Up on the Good Stuff, which delivers the message that Chunky soup offers many varieties, such as Classic Chicken Noodle or Steak N Potato, both made with lean meat protein. The campaign will also continue to leverage the companys 11-year NFL sponsorship, and big-hearted nature of the brand.

The creative for the Working Day advertising is being handled by Young & Rubicam, New York, which enlisted the talent of noted commercial director, Kinka Usher, of House of Usher, to produce a visually explosive campaign. Usher utilized computer-generated graphics and unique camera angles to create dynamic, visually intensive and precise shots to deliver the in your face images that simulate LT in his workenvironment.

NFL Moms Sack Hunger

In the last 10 years of Chunky soup advertising, youve seen moms making sure their NFL sons were filling up on the good stuff in Chunky soup, said Brand. Now, mom has taken on even bigger responsibilities, Weve teamed up with 35 moms of NFL players to ensure community food banks around the country are sufficiently stocked.

NFL moms, who have helped deliver Campbells Chunky soup to their sons and consumers nationwide, will now tackle hunger across the country in the Campbells Chunky/NFL Tackling Hunger program. By expanding the program and enlisting the biggest roster of NFL moms in history, Chunky soup, in partnership with the Professional Football Players Mothers Association, will help raise much needed food donations for Feeding America food banks nationwide.
