Kingsford teamed up with NFL legend Jason Kelce to celebrate the ritual of slow, charcoal grilling.

The campaign crowned Kelce the King of the Tailgate, turning his post-NFL transition into a story about heritage,

flavor, and connection. Partnering closely with the above-the-line agency, I helped extend the campaign

beyond broadcast—bringing it to life through retail, social storytelling, and a custom recipe playbook that

reminded fans that slow is king and reaffirmed Kingsford’s place at the heart of game-day culture.
