A new Applebee's campaign kicks off the 2024 NFL season shining a spotlight on three of its stars as the chain is now wearing the title of Official Grill + Bar Sponsor of the NFL. It features "San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, and Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell."
The three are featured in a campaign dubbed Pre-Seasoning -- An Applebee's Training Camp. The series of ads takes on a docu-style social series that follows the journey of the three athletes. They are seen working and taking on the challenges of taking orders, serving orders, and overall mastering the art of customer service. This gives a more personal look at the players and their personalities.
