Zaxby's Launches a Saucy New Campaign
Zaxby’s, the popular chicken brand rooted in Georgia, is spicing things up with its innovative campaign titled
'Who’s Got the Sauce?'. The initiative aims to highlight not just the range of sauces available but also the confidence and personality they can bring to your meal. Known for delicious Chicken Fingerz and an impressive lineup of sauces, Zaxby’s is set to electrify its brand image with the debut of their new mascot, affectionately dubbed
the Sauce Boss.
Introduction of the Sauce Boss
The Sauce Boss will be portrayed by none other than
Omar Epps, the acclaimed actor whose charisma and flair make him the perfect fit for this role. As the Sauce Boss, Epps not only brings star power but also acts as a motivational figure, encouraging fans to embrace their individuality and find their unique sauce. From busy moms to young athletes, his goal is to empower everyone who interacts with him to leave feeling like a true ‘boss’ themselves.
