Key Takeaways
- Steak-umm’s Freezer Flag is a light-activated device designed to help consumers easily locate frozen items.
- Tombras’ social media marketing strategy uses humor and interactive content to engage audiences and boost brand visibility.

The infomercial-style spot highlights a universal struggle: digging through the icy abyss of leftovers and mystery bags that is your freezer just to find what you need.

To solve this everyday frustration, Steak-umm introduced the Freezer Flag, a light-activated, telescoping pole equipped with an LED light, and a branded flag.
It also has a built-in speaker that beeps to help you locate your frozen essentials.
The limited-edition device ensures that Steak-umm’s 100% Real frozen beef sheets (and anything else in your freezer) never get lost in the cold again.

Dooley Tombras, president of Tombras, emphasized the brand’s playful yet practical approach to marketing in a statement:
“It's only natural for a 100% Real brand like Steak-umm to take over National Frozen Food Day with a very real device for a very real problem.”
The campaign’s social media marketing strategy amplifies its reach, using humor and interactive content to engage fans across platforms.
The Solution You Didn’t Know You Needed
The commercial opens with a man stumbling into his kitchen in the middle of the night.
As he opens the freezer, an avalanche of frozen food falls on him, sending him crashing to the floor.
Suddenly, a mysterious figure with a Steak-umm box for a head appears on the screen.

As the narration extols the benefits of the Freezer Flag, the scene takes on an infomercial-like absurdity.
The spot wraps with the two standing awkwardly in the kitchen.
The man finally asks, “Are you done?” before grabbing the Steak-umm box and walking off-screen.
The Freezer Flag, available at www.freezerflag.com, immediately sold out, showcasing the power of its marketing execution.

Steak-umm’s campaign proves that humor and a good meme-worthy moment can go a long way in grabbing attention.
The brand takes a common freezer struggle and turns it into an over-the-top solution that people actually want to use.
Meanwhile, actors Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell recently infused their signature humor into Carvana’s latest campaign.
