Famous Chefs Naked with Their Blender: Todd Gray (and Sampson), March 2003
Vitamix collaborated with chef consultant Jimmy Sneed and The King Agency to develop the “Famous Chefs Naked with Their Blender” campaign. The ads were staged to convey the notion of food professionals feeling bare without their Vitamix blenders. This campaign ran from 1999 to 2003, launched the Vita-Prep®, and gave the company rock-star status, as chefs lined up to bare all and show their love of the product.
