New campaign by Wendy's seeks young dudes with attitudes to munch a bunch of burgers

Article Abstract:

Ads are returning to plots, and burgers are returning to triple-decker versions as Wendy's launches a new ad campaign to run right along with the current campaign. The new one is specific for 18-34 year old males. That is the largest demographic group that fast-food chains like to reach, but Wendy's is also still targeting all the rest of us, too. In Wendy's own words, they want to be nice to everybody. That might not work with one 'vaguely menacing' print ad.
