Wendy’s introduced “Mr. Wendy,” the new face of the brand, last Friday in the first of seven new spots by IPG’s McCann-Erickson in New York. In the work, the character tells people about the chain’s burgers and salads.

One spot, which broke last Thursday, depicts office workers in a contest to create custom hamburgers.
