The creative features a man who tries to eat various foods only to have them slapped out of his hands. The reason? He needs to Frank It Up! 

As true aficionados know, food is merely a vehicle to deliver delicious Frank’s RedHot to the mouth. The “I put that $#!t on everything” tagline is the soul of the brand and has become a calling card for consumers, so now this campaign goes back to the basics of actual food, knowing Frank’s RedHot is the only brand that can deliver the perfect balance of flavour and heat.

While the video features traditionally “American” foods like sausages, wings and pizza, the teams worked to ensure all of the foods worked globally and appealed to key cross-cultural demographics. Grey worked with the global culinary team, a group of experts from the UK, Australia and France to ensure their food choices were resonating with audiences across the globe, while still maintaining their Americana feel.

“Boring and bland don’t stand a chance when you’ve got Frank’s RedHot. America’s favourite hot sauce goes best on, well everything. With our new campaign, Frank It Up, we encourage usage on everything, anything, and anywhere. To develop a truly global campaign, we worked closely with our peers in international markets to ensure the creative choices pulled through. When we shout, Frank It Up, it’s a call to make life a little more interesting, making Frank’s RedHot a sauce that pulls snacks, meals and people together.” Alia Kemet, Senior Vice President, Global Creative and Digital Transformation at McCormick.
