Chipotle

For Real

Chipotle does things a little differently. They use real ingredients, made in real kitchens, by real people. And that realness was present everywhere, except in their advertising. So we went all-in on the one thing that set them apart: their commitment to real. We pulled back the curtain to show the world exactly how different Chipotle is from its competitors.

Behind the Foil

Chipotle makes their food with real ingredients in real kitchens. We knew it was time we cooked up a radically transparent, anti-artificial campaign that showed (not told) our real difference at Chipotle. So what better way to do so than through real unscripted conversations between the real people that make it and Academy Award-winning director, Errol Morris.

Digital Sales Driver

When everything changed in early 2020 (looking at you, COVID-19) digital sales became the key driver for Chipotle’s business. We needed to show how easy it was to simply tap for real food, eat real food and repeat.

Real Athletes 4.0- Anthony Edwards

When Chipotle endorses an athlete, there’s a rule. They must eat Chipotle before the brand even approaches them. And with rising star Anthony Edwards it’s become an integral part of his increasingly dominant performance. When he entered the league, he was already a phenom. But it became clear that to get even better, he had to get real beyond just raw talent. So, he committed to eating real too. Like his half chicken half steak bowl at Chipotle. Oh, and if you’re wondering, he made that shot at the end in a shockingly few amount of takes.
