Papa John's International, the world's third-largest pizza delivery
company, today announced it is reviewing its national agency of record
to ensure it has the right resources in place to help the brand achieve
its next level of growth.
"As the recognized industry leader in customer happiness and the leader
in digital ordering, Papa John's has built an incredible amount of
momentum over the past few years," said John Schnatter, Papa John's
founder, chairman and CEO. "We feel the timing is right to seek an
agency partner that can capitalize on that momentum and help advance our
brand to the next level through fresh thinking, brand messaging and more
