A strong company culture has been at the center of Johnsonville Sausage in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, since the early 1980s. Established by the owner and chairman, Ralph Stayer, "The Johnsonville Way" puts the people of the company first, empowering its members to have a stake in this 71 year-old business.

This year, Johnsonville is taking that mindset to the next level and doing something only a family-owned company could do: letting their members come up with the commercials.

The creative (and concept) begins with a trailer and then is followed up with a "Made the Johnsonville Way" anthem spot. From there, we two of the spots thought up by the Johnsonville team (culled from literally hundreds of ideas). The third, "New Neighbors" is slated to launch soon.
