CPK: 40 and Fine With It
Media Type:
Digital
At a time when brands are increasingly accused of losing authenticity in pursuit of youth and relevancy, California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) is celebrating its 40th anniversary by leaning into that exact tension with a campaign that's deliberately "delusional." Partnering with creative agency Iris, CPK executed a bold, intentionally chaotic rebrand to dramatize the marketing panic that can set in when brands hit milestone birthdays.
