The 30 year-old Hooters restaurant chain is hoping to attract a younger and broader customer base that includes women as patrons rather than servers by unleashing a new marketing campaign utilizing television ads, social media outreach, billboards and radio, according to an article on Ad Age.com.

The two new television and online video spots directed by “Eastbound & Down” director Jody Hill features an angel owl and devil owl-presumably to highlight the conflict many customers have traditionally felt patronizing the restaurant chain. Check out the videos here:
