Super Bowl Instant Replay: Denny's Feeds America Again

In the first thirty second Super Bowl ad, which is part of a new campaign created by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, Denny's introduces a brand advocate who invites viewers to enjoy a Free Original Grand Slam while warning chickens to get out of town because "it's going to be a tough week for egg layers." We see chickens sitting in a sports bar, shopping in an electronics store and watching television in a living room express tremendous shock as they hear the news, knowing they are going to have a busy work week ahead. Denny's "Chicken Warning" ad continues the tradition of using humor to communicate to millions of Super Bowl viewers. The chicken theme continues into the fourth quarter with a thirty second spot highlighting the Free Original Grand Slam offer on Tuesday, February 9th and a fifteen second ad prior to the two minute warning, re-launching Denny's Free Original Grand Slam Birthday offer.

"We are leveraging the power of Super Bowl once again to connect with our customers to keep Denny's in their hearts and minds by communicating our Original Grand Slam offer," said Nelson Marchioli, CEO and President of Denny's. "We know that times are still tough and a free hot breakfast helps a lot of folks and their families... we heard from thousands last year who thanked us. This year Denny's will even go beyond just one day of free meals by offering a number of everyday affordable programs all year."

From online and in store sweepstakes to birthday offers and endless fries and pancakes, Denny's continues to give back all year long.

• Grand Slam For a Year – It's more than just a Free Original Grand Slam on February 9th. Anyone can register February 1st through February 14th, 2010 online at www.dennys.com or in store to win one FREE Original Grand Slam every week for one year.
