In Jimmy Dean sausage's new national campaign, The Sun is featured with the tag, "Happy Breakfast." The initiative reinforces Jimmy Dean as the traditional breakfast experience and showcase the company's quick and easy-to- prepare line of breakfast products.
The effort includes television on top-rated morning programs and national print. The initiative will also include a combination of national TV, national and regional radio, as well as in-store promos. TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles handled creative; Starcom Worldwide handled buying.
