With the start of the road trip season, Kelsis Original Roadhouse Ontario, St. John’s and Moncton are celebrating its best-selling menu item – the legendary Four Cheese Spinach Deep – in an integrated billboard campaign titled “Deep Deep Hooray.”
Launched in mid-June, the campaign uses stunt and digital billboards alongside a drill-worthy 3D cheese pool, aimed at making guests yearn for their next visit.

“Our Four Cheese Spinach Deep is an item that has become synonymous with the brand in our forty-year history,” he said. Shannon Lawler, Marketing Director, Kelsis Original Roadhouse. “It’s a menu item that our guests and social media followers really like and often imitate, but never duplicate.”
Billboards were carefully lined with light-hearted sayings, including “Deep Deep Hooray” and “Oops We Dipped It Again” to attract guests’ attention. Billboard locations are lined with Kelseys Road Trip brand positioning, on the route to popular summer road-trip destinations, and in the vicinity of 67 Kelsey locations. These include Barry, Hamilton, London, Mississauga, Moncton, Oshawa, Ottawa, Peterborough, St. John’s and Toronto.
The campaign is associated with a Kelseys equity TV spot, “Take a Trip Down the Block,” digital advertising, influencer activation and a live mailer. The campaign has been further expanded by accepting the Free Four Cheese Spinach Deep offer at Kelseys.ca and the chance to win a free Spinach Dip for one year by accepting the #dipchallenge.
The campaign was created by Toronto-based Ostrich Studios, the agency-producing hybrid handling all creative responsibilities. Genuine Media has performed Media Purchase, which handles all billboard and digital advertising purchases.
