Janson's Drive-In has been a Chicago classic since 1960 — retro neon signs, '50s nostalgia, and a menu loaded with juicy burgers, Angus beef, golden fries, and legendary milkshakes. Summer is the perfect time to show your audience why this Beverly institution has had a line out the door for over 60 years.
Here is how it works:
Once you receive your approval email, follow the instructions to schedule your visit within 7–9 days. Pick an afternoon that works for you during the campaign window.
Show up with your plus one, order what looks good, and soak in that summer retro vibe. The $80 covers both of you. Come hungry — the burgers, cheese fries, and seasonal shakes are the stars.
Film your content and post your Reel and/or TikTok within 5–7 business days. Simple as that.
📩 Keep an eye on your emails. That is how we send approvals, reminders, and updates. If you miss a message it can hold up or cancel your campaign.
VISUALS & THEME
Do
Show the retro exterior, neon signage, and vintage Drive-In atmosphere
Capture summer vibes — golden hour lighting, outdoor eating, good weather energy
Get close-ups of the food: a juicy burger mid-bite, cheese pulling off fries, a shake being handed over
Feature the full spread — burger, fries, sides, and a milkshake together
Either voiceover or trending audio works great
Don't
Film empty shots with no food or energy
Skip the food detail — close-ups matter
Forget to show the retro vibe; the nostalgia is half the story
Ideas to get you started
Walk up to the Drive-In window, capture that classic order experience
Do a "summer essentials" angle — Janson's is #1 on the list
Film the cheese fries or shake in full summer sunlight for that craveable close-up
Shout out your favorite order or why this spot is your go-to Chicago summer stop
Your caption must include:
Send a collab request to @jansonsdrivein
