Bisquick Brings a Fargo Cameo to Life With Special Product Drop

The campaign, from agency Pereira O'Dell, aims to build buzz for a heritage supermarket brand

Leaders from Glossier, Shopify, Mastercard and more will take the stage at Brandweek to share what strategies set them apart and how they incorporate the most valued emerging trends. Register to join us this September 23–26 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a diminutive Midwestern housewife with military-grade survival skills, substitutes buttermilk for water in her Bisquick biscuits, adding “love and joy” as additional ingredients.

To those who didn’t watch season five of Fargo—a cult favorite thriller on FX and Hulu that starred Juno Temple, Jon Hamm and Jennifer Jason Leigh—this might sound like gibberish.
