TL;DR
Batteries Plus has launched a new national advertising campaign, introducing the 'Battery Pack', a team of store associates who showcase the brand's expertise in a fun and memorable way. The campaign is an evolution of the 'Experts in Charge' platform and features a comedic twist, highlighting the unique culture of Batteries Plus stores.
Batteries Plus is excited to announce the launch of its new national advertising campaign, introducing consumers to the “Battery Pack,” a team of four battery-obsessed store associates whose passion, knowledge, and personality bring the brand’s expertise to life.
The campaign is the latest evolution of Batteries Plus’ “Experts in Charge” platform. This iteration adds a comedic twist, showcasing the people behind the brand in a fun, memorable way.
“‘Experts in Charge’ is the foundation of this campaign, reflecting the knowledge our teams bring to every customer interaction,” said Chris McGee, VP of Marketing for Batteries Plus. “With the ‘Battery Pack,’ we’re spotlighting the unique culture that exists in our stores in a way that's entertaining, relatable, and memorable. This campaign is about celebrating the passion of our store owners and associates as they solve real customer problems.”
Shot in a “docu-comedy” style, each creative spot marries a core part of Batteries Plus’ services with an element of humor, complete with a catchy and memorable jingle. Consumers see the “Battery Pack” in their natural habitat: a Batteries Plus store, where they obsess over batteries, solutions, and customer service paired with a friendly and quirky personality. The services highlighted throughout the campaign include:
“Each spot highlights a specific service, starting with a clear, compelling value proposition, and then takes an unexpected turn, something a little surprising, a little over the top, and ultimately unforgettable,” said Sara Whiteleather, Senior Director Marketing for Batteries Plus. “That balance is intentional. These moments go beyond entertainment; they’re designed to spark conversation, drive sharing, and bring a new generation of customers into our stores.”
While the “Battery Pack” characters are actors, the setting is authentic. The campaign was filmed in real Batteries Plus franchise stores in Phoenix, AZ, owned by franchise ownership group MarLu Investment Group.
Filming in an actual location helped ground the creative content in a true Batteries Plus experience, reinforcing the campaign’s central idea that their expertise is not manufactured for advertising, but it lives in stores every day. The local store teams helped prepare the location for filming, from on the ground logistics to polishing individual batteries.
“Our stores are filled with people who genuinely love solving problems, it’s what makes Batteries Plus different,” said Jon Sica, President of Batteries Plus. “The ‘Battery Pack’ captures that spirit in a way that’s fun and unexpected, but still true to the experience customers have when they walk into one of our locations. It’s a celebration of the expertise and personality that power this brand every day.”
Inspiration for the “Battery Pack” campaign came during Batteries Plus’ first-ever Plus Games, where franchisees and store associates competed in high-energy challenges designed to test speed, knowledge, and skill, from cutting keys and fixing key fobs to navigating technical challenges under pressure. The “Battery Pack” personifies that passion seen during the Plus Games into a cast of memorable characters who show what Batteries Plus expertise looks like in action.
“The Plus Games really put a spotlight on the incredible expertise across our entire Batteries Plus franchise system,” said Joe Malmuth, Chief Development Officer at Batteries Plus. “Watching our franchisees and store associates compete with that level of speed, skill, and enthusiasm made it clear this energy deserves a bigger stage. This campaign builds our ‘Experts in Charge’ platform in a way that is distinctive, memorable, and true to those who power this brand.”
