So, we teamed up with Disney to create a custom ad that’s a love letter to the heart of The Bear, and a celebration of great storytelling and great food. That omelette was, of course, made with Vital Farms eggs and butter!”

"Great storytelling resonates when it’s rooted in trust and collaboration, and when you lead with that, breakthrough work follows,” said John Campbell, SVP, Entertainment and Streaming Solutions, Disney Advertising. “FX’s The Bear has solidified its place as a global cultural touchstone, and our work with Vital Farms is a strategic extension of that. The creative aligns with the show’s authentic storytelling and character-driven narrative, creating a brand experience that intentionally connects with the fans.”
