Radio Advertisement


Jimmy John's, the fastfood sandwich chain, came out with new radio commercials in 2009. This particular advertisement is still running as of 2013, and is played nation wide wherever a Jimmy John's is present. This particular advertisement was made to portray how fast Jimmy John's delivery really can be. They used a humorous approach featuring a fast talking sandwich delivery guy who was delivering a sandwich to a customer, when he noticed the customer's house was on fire. The delivery man then called the fire department and ordered more Jimmy John's sandwiches, which resulted in all of Jimmy John's delivery guys arriving before the fire department. 

Multimedia Campaign

In Spring 2012, JWT created a multimedia campaign for the United States Marine Corps. Their goal in mind was to portray a softer side of the Marines to the public. The ad depicts the Marines showing up guns in hand ready to go to battle, but it also shows the Marines bringing boxes that were labeled "Aid". This advertisement first aired during the college basketball championship game, and was the first of their multimedia campaign. The other parts of the campaign featured a documentary style video on their Facebook page showing real footage of the Marines doing disaster relief in countries like Japan and Haiti. They also completely redesigned their website Marines.com, and they came out with several print ads as well.
