The Challenge

Handsome Biscuit already had a strong identity.

People knew them.
People loved them.
But they knew them for one thing.

Breakfast.

The challenge wasn’t visibility—it was changing behavior.
Getting people to rethink when they visit, not just where.

Lunch wasn’t part of the habit yet.

The owner had a few objectives. First, to change how the public viewed the restaurant. He wanted Handsome Biscuit to be seen as a chicken sandwich restaurant that you can have all three of your meals at, not just a great spot for breakfast and brunch.

Secondly, now that the brand had reached the maturity stage of the product life cycle, he needed to advertise in a way that was more approachable and scalable to the mass public, not just early adaptors and influencers. Last, he needed to make consumers aware of the second location.

We didn’t approach this like an announcement.
We approached it like a shift in experience.

Instead of telling people they now offer lunch,
we showed them why they’d want it.

The focus was simple:

Make the food feel undeniable
Make the experience feel effortless
Make lunch feel like it belongs to them just as much as breakfast does

This wasn’t about information.
It was about temptation and recall.

The Approach

PRODUCTION

We built two pieces—each with a distinct role, but designed to work together.

The 15-second spot was driven by macro detail. Tight, controlled shots focused on texture, movement, and timing—designed to make the food feel immediate and craveable within seconds.

The 30-second spot expanded the story. We focused on real moments—families, workers, and everyday interactions—to show how lunch fits naturally into people’s routines.

One created attention.
The other created context.

Together, they didn’t just show the product—they showed where it belongs.

"The campaign was a great success! Over a 6 month span, the commercial that we created for the client was seen over 451,000 times across Norfolk and Virginia Beach through streaming video. The video was captivating as well. It outperformed the industry standard with a 97% completion rate. This resulted in an uptick in his lunch hour foot traffic, and for the first time in the two years the Virginia Beach location had been open, it outperformed the original location in Norfolk. The client is so happy with the results that he extended his campaign."
