Home Run Inn Pizza is preparing for a new integrated marketing campaign as the Chicago brand looks to drive growth across both its retail and restaurant businesses, the company said in a news release. To support that effort, Home Run Inn has named quench as its agency of record following a competitive review. Quench is a full-service marketing agency focused on building and evolving food and beverage brands.

The work will span brand strategy, creative development, communications planning and retail activation.

"Home Run Inn is one of those rare brands that feels both iconic and still full of untapped potential. The people who know it love it," quench CEO Michael Pavone said in the press release. "Our job is to help more consumers discover what has made the brand special for generations by bringing that authentic restaurant experience to more moments and more tables."

Founded in Chicago and built on a family recipe dating back nearly 80 years, Home Run Inn has evolved from a neighborhood tavern into a recognized frozen pizza brand and maintains restaurant locations throughout the Chicago area.

"You don't stay relevant for nearly 80 years by standing still. Consumer expectations change, and successful brands have to evolve with them," Dan Costello, CEO of Home Run Inn Pizza, added in the press release. "The challenge isn't changing who we are. It's making sure more people experience what has made this brand special for generations. quench gets that, and we're thrilled to have them on board as our partner in this stage of evolution."
