Johnsonville Sparks Excitement for America's 249th Celebration
Kickoff for America’s 249th Birthday Celebration with Johnsonville
Addressing a Fun Deficit, Johnsonville Launches Party Starter for 249 Lucky Winners
As America approaches its 250th birthday, the festive spirit is alive, but importantly, Johnsonville is taking the initiative to jumpstart the celebrations this year. The leading sausage brand is highlighting what it terms the "fun deficit" plaguing the nation, and they have a creative solution to tackle this issue head-on.
Understanding the Fun Deficit
America's No. 1 sausage brand has conducted research indicating a significant disconnect among citizens, revealing a decline in enjoyable shared experiences. The results from the recent Johnsonville National Temperature Check show some startling statistics:
- A staggering 78% of people express they are spending less time socializing;
- 64% find it more challenging to have fun together as a group;
- 90% affirm the importance of community fun, especially in tough times;
- 91% believe collaborating with fun enhances progress;
- 91% feel that delicious food is essential in making gatherings enjoyable.
Jamie Schmelzer, Vice President of Marketing at Johnsonville, highlighted this desperate call for enjoyment: "While many focus on the upcoming milestone in 2026, it’s clear that we need to embrace joy now. Our 249th birthday is the perfect excuse for that." Johnsonville is advocating a more immediate celebration of the country’s rich heritage.
The Johnsonville Party Starter Initiative
To energize celebrations nationwide, Johnsonville is offering a unique and ambitious contest. The Party Starter consists of an enormous 80-pound sausage variety pack with 249 links, aimed to be shared among friends and family. This initiative represents a commitment to bringing people together through food and fun, a vision designed in collaboration with the Milwaukee-based agency, Hold Fast.
Brian Ganther, Chief Creative Officer of Hold Fast, shared the motivation behind the campaign: "Now more than ever, Americans crave togetherness. By providing such a significant amount of sausage, we hope to unite people—regardless of background—through the joy of good food and community."
How to Participate
From now, individuals can enter to win this exclusive Party Starter by submitting a brief entry about someone special in their lives that embodies the ultimate party starter—the person who brings people together for fun and food—within 249 characters. The contest is open until a specified closing date, with winners announced shortly after. Each winner will receive their pack just in time for the summer celebrations.
What’s Inside the Party Starter?
The enormous party pack is brimming with Johnsonville favorites, including their famed Original Brats, flavorsome Beddar With Cheddar Smoked Sausage, and the latest addition, their Hot Dog.

Spreading the Message
Johnsonville’s innovative campaign ties back to their purpose, emphasizing the need for unity, which was highlighted in their Keep It Juicy campaign initiated in recent years. The overarching message aims to resonate during these challenging times: the current moment is ripe for celebration.
As part of this effort, Johnsonville has produced engaging 30-second and 60-second ad spots featuring humorous historical nods that remind viewers of the simpler joys in life. These advertisements are now broadcasting across numerous demographic channels, encouraging participation nationwide.
Upcoming Celebratory Event
