Journeys tapped <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/madison-bailey\/endorsements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madison Bailey<\/a> for its <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/madison-bailey-stars-in-journeys-back-to-school-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-character &#8220;Turn It Up&#8221; campaign<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/justin-flom-fronts-great-clips-back-to-school-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Great Clips built its push<\/a> around magician <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/justin-flom\/endorsements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justin Flom<\/a> and his daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bob Evans is pairing a data-driven pitch (that 66% &#8220;overextended&#8221; stat) with a relatable mom-actress rather than reviving the single-spokesperson model it ran with Ribeiro for years. It&#8217;s a shift toward moment-specific talent tied to a real parent pain point instead of a season-spanning brand face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Swisher, it&#8217;s another notch in a growing specialty: she&#8217;s now fronted three different back-to-school brand campaigns in three years, each timed to the same seasonal spike in parental stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does swapping a long-term spokesperson model for one-off, seasonal partnerships build stronger recall than sticking with a single face the way Bob Evans did with Ribeiro? With Swisher now the face of her third different back-to-school campaign in three years, does that repetition dilute her pull or make her the go-to &#8220;back-to-school mom&#8221; for brands?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Evans is teaming up with Sweet Magnolias star JoAnna Garcia Swisher to help stressed-out parents get through the back-to-school season, the refrigerated food brand announced July 29.
