Los Angeles, CA / National brands often use celebrity endorsements in their commercial advertising and marketing campaigns very effectively. Celebrity spokesperson Blake Shelton worked with Pizza Hut, a Yum! Brands, Inc. company, on “Blake’s Smokehouse BBQ” advertising campaign, combining print and digital marketing with television ad spots.

Pizza Hut Inc. generates over $12.03 billion in annual revenue with 18,000+ restaurant and delivery locations worldwide, making it the largest pizza chain in the world by number of locations, and second in the world based on revenue. Domino’s currently holds the number one spot in revenue at $12.25B, even though it only has 16,000+ locations.

It’s easy to see how they can afford such lavish ad campaigns with notable Hollywood celebrities. However, brand leaders like Pizza Hut do not get to the top being wasteful with their annual advertising budgets.

To leverage maximum profitability in cost savings, time savings and revenue generation, smart brands retain seasoned industry professionals like Michael Grecco, a Creative Director, Celebrity Photographer, Commercial Photographer and Commercial Video Director for Fortune 500 company brands.

“Pizza Hut retained my creative services due to my combination of large production commercial brand experience and having worked with many elite Hollywood celebrities,” Grecco said.

Logistics of a large commercial production shoot can be daunting. By combining a broadcast TV commercial shoot, along with print and digital marketing advertisements, and having a high-demand celebrity like Blake Shelton, all condensed into a short period of time.

Let’s not forget about the real ‘star’ of the whole production, the pizza. Pizza Hut has its own traveling tractor trailer restaurant on wheels to make fresh piping hot pizza for all its on-location commercial production shoots.

“The challenging part was shooting five print ads and two video spots in only two hours. Nothing could be shot without the leading talent being ready, the fresh Pizza Hut pizza. The two hours were cut shorter because of this, but we pulled it off. My best work comes from challenges and tight time-frames.” Grecco stated.
