-Fitzco won McCormick & Co’s French’s brand last year and added Cholula hot sauce as well. Now, it has released its first campaign for the brand called “Mother of Sauce.” The campaign emphasizes Cholula’s authentic Mexican heritage and the feminine character, La Chila, depicted on its wood-capped bottle.
