Frank? Angus? This dog’s for you.

By Industry News
June 22, 2016

Calling everyone named Angus or Frank. Ball Park brand (www.ballparkbrand.com), the maker of Angus Beef Franks, is celebrating the dog days of summer with a campaign that promises to be a real ‘name-changer’ in the world of hot dogs. For 100 hours beginning today, the brand is giving away free Ball Park Franks, made with 100% Angus Beef, to anyone named Angus or Frank …and to anyone willing to change their name to Angus or Frank for a day on Twitter. 

Famous hot dog fans are getting in on the action. Celebrities including Mario Lopez, Donald Faison and Haylie Duff are kicking off the moniker mayhem by changing their name to Angus Frank on Twitter. Social media stars will help fuel the fire on Vine by demonstrating just how far they will go in the name-change game to receive free Ball Park Angus Beef Franks.

“Hot dog sales peak over the July 4th holiday and it’s our goal to get people to remember Ball Park brand and our Angus Beef Franks when they’re stocking up for the long weekend,” said Sara Shenoha, Senior Brand Manager, Ball Park brand. “Whether people change their name to Angus or Frank, we hope they won’t forget our name when they fire up the grill this summer.”

The Ball Park Angus Frank giveaway is part of the brand’s “100 Days of 100% Angus” campaign. Throughout the summer, Ball Park brand is celebrating its Ball Park Angus Beef Franks by posting helpful and sometimes hilarious content to its social media channels -- videos, gifs, cinemagraphs, images and more featuring tips, recipes, odes and more to help create legendary barbecues.

To participate in the Angus Frank giveaway, everyone with the name Angus or Frank in their Twitter name or handle (even if only changed for the day) can enter the 100-hour giveaway by following @BallParkBrand on Twitterand tweeting their love for Ball Park Angus Beef Franks using #BallParkAngusGiveaway. Everyone will receive a coupon for a free package of Ball Park Angus Beef Franks, just in time for their Fourth of July celebrations.
