-Red Robin, and its new creative AOR Carmichael Lynch, looks to bring the fun back to the restaurant experience with a new campaign that finds the newly revamped burger chain getting in touch with its inner child. It’s billing itself as a place where you can kick back, order what you want and let loose for a little while. The new “Leave Room for Fun” campaign reminds viewers that “your fun side” is always out there. In the first spot, “Fun Guy,” we see a man sitting on a park bench who looks up from his sad sandwich to find “his fun side.” He joins his childlike spitting image (beard, khakis and sweater vest included) for a day of fun and hijinks that ends with burgers, fries and shakes at Red Robin.
