Plant-based brand Field Roast has just launched its new “No Beef” campaign in partnership with creative agency No Fixed Address less than two weeks to go before Super Bowl LIX.
The campaign promotes unity with humor and cultural relevance, aiming to end feuds both on and off the plate with the brand’s beef-free sausages.
The “No Beef” campaign uses targeted Spotify ads narrated by legendary music historian Alan Cross.
The ads playfully reimagine iconic rivalries, such as Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake, asking listeners, “What if they’d just shared a plate of beef-free sausages?”

Beyond music, Field Roast encourages fans to squash personal conflicts by tagging the brand in online “beefs,” rewarding participants with free plant-based products.
Jamie Marcovitch, executive creative director at No Fixed Address, describes the campaign as “a fun reframing of conflict resolution, using food and humor to connect with people.”
In a statement exclusive to DesignRush, Marcovitch shared how it is “all about inviting people to squash the beef in life.”
“We wanted to make sure we were part of the conversation leading up to the Super Bowl because that's when beefs between fans, teams and even certain halftime artists start to really heat up,” he added.

The campaign taps into the rise of cultural and social rivalries, using content marketing to connect Field Roast’s plant-based values with a simple, universal message of harmony.
Field Roast’s “No Beef” movement is set to extend beyond the Super Bowl, making “squash the beef” a mantra for year-round conflicts in music, sports, and everyday life.
It illustrates the power of aligning brand messaging with cultural and social movements, demonstrating that businesses can enhance their relevance and connection with consumers by tapping into shared values.
And by creating a narrative that extends beyond a single event, brands can foster ongoing engagement and loyalty, encouraging audiences to embrace their message in everyday life while reinforcing the brand's values.
Squash the Beef
Field Roast’s “No Beef” is a 30-second ad that opens with two bulls butting heads.
The narration sets the tone, stating that “it feels like the world is in its beef era,” as the scene shifts to musicians dropping diss tracks, athletes clashing after games, and housewives throwing drinks over heated arguments.
The narrator then calls for an end to the “beefing,” inviting people to come together over a beef-free meal.
The spot encourages viewers to tag Field Roast on social media whenever they spot “beefing” to earn free food options.
No Fixed Address has once again demonstrated its creative prowess, proving that humor and a simple message can spark meaningful conversations and inspire unity.
Previously, the agency worked with financial services company Questrade in a campaign that urges Canadians to break free from financial limitations.
