Fast casual chain Chipotle has begun the process of bringing a new ad agency partner on board to help guide its marketing efforts.

The Denver-based company has previously eschewed traditional television advertising in favor of a combination of digital-only spots, earned media, projects like a 2014 collaboration which featured the words of contemporary novelists on cups and bags, and the epic animated spots by Creative Artists Agency that have become the brand's trademark.
