OOH Campaign
We created the Sandwich Theatre as a platform on which the worlds of popular culture and toasted sandwiches could collide. And did they ever.
OOH Campaign
Handcrafted sandwiches,
handcrafted puppet theatre
We brought Potbelly sandwiches to life in our very own puppet theatre. Made entirely by hand, we created immersive worlds for the sandwiches to inhabit, infusing them with humorous and relatable personalities by recreating scenes from popular films like “Titanic,” “Wayne’s World,” “Step Brothers” and more. What resulted was a memorable series of pair-odies. But more importantly, a profound emotional connection between audience and sandwich that transformed Potbelly from a mere lunch option into a memorable experience that diners actively sought out.
