From TRG on LinkedIn:
Dave’s Killer Bread (DKB) has championed second-chance employment for nearly a decade, inspired by the journey of its founder, Dave Dahl, who turned his life around after spending 15 years in prison. A new ad campaign by TRG highlights this commitment by featuring three real DKB employees, or “partners,” who were formerly incarcerated.
The ads use powerful storytelling, starting with visuals resembling a prison setting before transitioning to scenes of the partners thriving at work, accompanied by the tagline “doing life.” This campaign marks one of the first major advertising efforts to emphasize DKB’s second-chance employment mission, a cause deeply woven into its identity.
