It isn’t usually expected that a restaurant be so honest in its ad campaign as to admit the product it serves kills animals but that’s exactly what part of this Chipotle campaign does in a humorous manner. The campaign tag, “Honest Ingredients,” ha s double meaning. It refers to Chipotle’s goal of serving only meat that is “naturally and humanely raised and free of added growth hormones and antibiotics.” It also refers to the company’s progress towards these goals as reported in the print advertising, which states that given current availability and market pricing, “all Chipotle pork, about one-half of Chipotle chicken, and about one-third of Chipotle beef meet these standards.” Check out all the creative here.
You can even create your own billboard copy at this site which has nothing to do with the company other than to have some fun with the ads.
