Delicious, slow simmered sauce brand Rao’s Homemade has seen this shift affect their business in a big way, growing exponentially during COVID, and recognized this as an opportunity to introduce itself to new consumers, showing how the unrivaled taste of its products is a direct result of its commitment to delicious ingredients like naturally sweet Italian tomatoes and homemade values. This past weekend, the brand launched a new integrated campaign to underscore that point just as we edge into the start of comfort food season.
Created in partnership with its lead agency, Sausalito-based Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP) Rao’s Homemade: Make Every Day Delicious officially launched with the airing of a 30-second spot during the Primetime EMMY Awards.

Do Delicious explores what delicious means to the brand, using a montage of still imagery to capture real people in the kitchen. The agency tapped sought-after chef-turned-photographer Marcus Nilsson to explore how real families and roommates gather together to make their favourite dishes and share meals. He was tasked with showing the power of delicious food – from close ups of heaping pasta dishes to slow simmered Italian tomatoes – the spot highlights the fact that delicious ingredients (and good company) leads to delicious food.
In addition to the nation-wide broadcast spot, the campaign includes a series of shorter cuts which will run across digital, connected TV, YouTube and social.
