The news comes after the QSR brand's former chief marketer Andy Rebhun left the company to join Panera. In the role, Ludeke will lead CAVA's marketing organization with a focus on brand differentiation, guest loyalty and engagement, digital and restaurant experiences as the brand grows. Ludeke joins the company with more than 17 years of experience as a brand leader.

IShowSpeed partners with Dr. Squatch on new $1 million campaign.

IShowSpeed partners with Dr. Squatch on new $1 million campaign. August 31, 2026 Deal Type: Brand Partnership / Gamified Campaign Announced: August 31, 2026 * IShowSpeed and men's natural personal care brand Dr. Squatch launched "SPEEDRUN: Million Dollar Mission," a nine-week interactive competition running from August 31 to October 31, 2026. * Fans across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia can complete 25 real-world and digital challenges to win portions of a $1 million prize pool. * The campaign features hidden briefcases with gold soap bars worth up to $50,000, TikTok Shop loot boxes with $10,000 scratchers, in-store activations across 4,000 Walmart stores, and a $250,000 finale hunt. * This promotion marks the creator's first-ever collaboration with Dr. Squatch, expanding his growing 2026 commercial portfolio. Natural personal care brand Dr. Squatch has partnered with global streaming star IShowSpeed to launch "SPEEDRUN: Million Dollar Mission," a massive $1 million interactive giveaway. Running from August 31 through October 31, 2026, the nine-week campaign turns everyday routines into real-world challenges across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Rather than producing a conventional commercial, the brand created 25 participatory tasks. Fans can search for hidden city briefcases holding gold soap bars redeemable for up to $50,000, scan QR codes at over 4,000 Walmart locations, win $10,000 scratchers via TikTok Shop loot boxes, and compete in weekly content tasks before a $250,000 grand finale hunt. This campaign represents the first collaboration between IShowSpeed and Dr. Squatch. Speed continues a landmark year in 2026 after passing 50 million YouTube subscribers on his global tours and ranking among Forbes' top worldwide creators. For Dr. Squatch, high-energy, unconventional marketing is a signature move. The grooming company previously teamed up with actress Megan Fox for its viral "Head Professor" soap campaign, alongside collaborative product drops with brands like Pabst Blue Ribbon and Tajín. This campaign highlights how brand partnerships are shifting from passive endorsements to fully interactive games. Instead of paying a creator to simply hold a bottle of body wash, Dr. Squatch built a multi-country scavenger hunt that drives foot traffic straight to retail stores like Walmart. For IShowSpeed, it demonstrates his rare ability to mobilize millions of fans into physical spaces, reinforcing why major consumer brands view top-tier live streamers as premier cultural drivers. Will gamified scavenger hunts replace standard celebrity commercials for brands targeting Gen Z? Will live streamers surpass traditional athletes and actors as the most commercially effective brand ambassadors?
