Iconic family restaurant chain Chuck E. Cheese's has named Chicago-based Current its public relations agency of record.
Chuck E. Cheese’s, which employs the trademark slogan "Where a kid can be a kid!" maintains nearly 600 of its restaurant-meets-entertainment-center locations in 47 states and nearly a dozen countries.

Current will be responsible for developing and executing consumer communication programs supporting the family eatery. The account win follows a new menu rollout for the iconic chain, and the Interpublic Group unit will focus on building brand awareness and launching new offerings for the restaurant, as well as conducting ongoing media relations to support promotions, fundraising and seasonal programs.
