Avocados From Mexico with comedian Andy Richter back at the Big Game

Avocados From Mexico, the number one selling avocado brand in the U.S., released its official 30-second Big Game teaser featuring late-night funnyman and avocado-lover, Andy Richter, and the fruit that Americans just can't seem to get enough of.



The teaser features Richter dressed in an ensemble inspired by ancient Roman times, psyching himself up to play the role of a lifetime: Caesar. The full ad will be revealed during the first quarter of the 2022 Big Game.


"When I found out Avocados From Mexico wanted to cast me for the ad, I thought, you have guac to be kidding me, I'm in!" said comedian Andy Richter. "Avocados are always good and when you 'Addvocados' to Roman times, plus throw in a legend like Caesar, it's sure to be a good time."


AFM teamed up with Austin-based agency, GSD&M to concept and produce the ad, which will mark the brand's seventh Big Game appearance.


It's Always a Good Time When You "Addvocados"


For the first time, AFM's Big Game presence will kick off the brand campaign that will continue throughout the year. The new creative platform "Addvocados" is inspired by American's love for avocados, and the beloved fruit's ability to make everyday things even better. The platform is part of AFM's #AlwaysGood brand campaign – as there are few (if any) other foods that can combine great taste, nutrition (good fats and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals) and fun times like avocados do.


"AFM is intrinsically an innovative brand that has been and always will be pushing boundaries across all marketing territories, whether it's branding, content creation or data," said Ivonne Kinser, Vice President of Marketing and Innovation for AFM. "The 'Addvocados' platform is our strongest yet. It's funny, impactful and designed to drive results and connection in a way that will ensure our brand is impossible to miss during the Big Game and beyond."
