At a time when disrespect for what’s come before often gets treated as a virtue, Chobani is holding up the past as something worthy of admiration.

In Chobani’s first ad campaign for its new oat-based drinks, which were announced last November, the company primarily known for its Greek yogurt is promoting its dairy alternatives by paying tribute to plain, old-fashioned milk.

“When we were creating the campaign, we didn’t want to do what the typical plant-based move is, which is to denigrate dairy,” Leland Maschmeyer, Chobani’s chief creative officer, told Adweek.
