“It better work.” It’s what everyone anticipates from any product or service every time they use it, and that’s the message Verizon is driving home to consumers as part of its forthcoming ad campaign, “Better Matters.”

“Better is how we differentiate our brand in the marketplace,” said Melissa Garlick, Senior Vice President Brand Creative Marketing for Verizon. “At its core, Better Matters exemplifies that the network you choose and the access it provides, makes a difference.”

Some of America’s best BBQ is defined by region—the white sauces of northern Alabama, mesquite-tinged in Texas, vinegar-based in North Carolina.
Not Wendy’s® BBQ Pulled Pork.
“We went to great lengths to make sure our customers could enjoy great BBQ at their local Wendy’s,” said Kurt Kane, Wendy’s chief concept officer. “Everything in this product was inspired by a desire to create a new BBQ tradition for America by learning from the very best pit masters across the country. You can see it and taste it, from the quality of the meat to the way we apply one of the three amazing sauces. This BBQ is the real deal and will not disappoint.”
A cut above any other quick-service restaurant, Wendy’s BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich starts with tender, premium pork shoulder, slow-smoked for hours with hickory wood. The succulent shredded meat is served with cool, crunchy slaw and a choice of BBQ sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
Wendy’s learned from local BBQ experts that the best way to apply BBQ sauce is to drizzle it on top of the meat right before it’s served. Taking it a step further to fit barbecue fans’ tastes, Wendy’s provides three custom-crafted sauces—sweet, smoky or spicy—for customers to choose from when they order.
The Wendy’s Company, through its auxiliaries, owns and franchises Wendys restaurant system. The company is involved in operating, developing, and franchising a system of quick-service restaurants.
