Stonefire Turns Tradition On Its Head With "Together We Naan"
Aug. 26, 2025
Traditionally-inspired naan just got a whole lot less traditional. Stonefire®—the brand that introduced naan to millions and America’s #1 flatbread—is unveiling Together We Naan™, a new brand platform that, for the first time, proudly owns its ancient-inspired baking traditions while also inviting people to make naan their own.
Zulu Alpha Kilo New York (Z.A.K. NY) developed the integrated campaign across streaming, social, and digital, with cultural activations to follow this fall. The work taps into the truth that people want the real thing, even if they’re not eating it the traditional way.
In the series of launch films (:45, :30, :15, :06s), that idea is pushed to the absurd, from breakfast wraps and pizza to hummus and naan s’mores, and of course, a victorious knight garnishing naan with the tears of his enemies. The work makes Stonefire® Naan’s versatility endlessly entertaining—proving there’s only one way we make it, but endless ways to enjoy it.
Tim Gordon, Z.A.K. NY Partner and CCO said:
"Stonefire® has always made naan the traditional-inspired way for everyone and anyone to enjoy. So logically we took that idea to the extreme. With Together We Naan, it’s about our naan tradition meeting yours, regardless if that tradition is garnishing naan with vengeance or baba ghanoush."
The fully integrated campaign brings creative and media together as one. Developed with Zulumatic, Z.A.K’s in-house media planning & buying arm, the highly targeted media plan will connect with consumers in entertainment-first ways across streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu/Disney, high-impact digital video, cinema, retail media, creator collaborations, paid social/digital, as well as retailer partnerships.
Angela Mcinenly, Head of Marketing & Brand Development at FGF Brands said:
“Zulu Alpha Kilo NY challenged us to embrace what makes our naan exceptional and beloved — baked to our highest standards — and shape it into a modern vision for the brand. It sets Stonefire up to lead the category with a spirit everyone can take part in for years to come: serious craft, enjoyed with zero seriousness.”
The agency won the business after a competitive pitch in the spring.
Launched in 2008, Z.A.K. has built a reputation as an industry outlier and one of the most respected independent agencies in the world, creating innovative ideas for their clients that include: Booking.com, Harry’s, Campbell’s, Subaru, Bell, Interac, and Destination BC. For three years running, Fast Company has recognized the agency’s work in their World Changing Ideas issue, and in 2024, Z.A.K. made Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies.
