“I have been a huge fan of Wingstop forever, and Li and I actually wrote the lyrics for this song about four years ago just for fun,” said Lough. “Our friends and family loved it so when this opportunity came up, we had to jump on it. We wrote the music and hoped for the best since we’ve never entered a video contest before, and that made winning so much more incredible!”
The “Wingstop Stylefree Crew” spot recently aired on ESPN2 as part of the Wingstop national television campaign.
“This contest was a fun way for us to interact with our customers and let them tell us why they love Wingstop,” said Jason McEachern, vice president of technology at Wingstop. “We have loyal, dedicated wing fans and we love to hear from our guests. This was a way to turn over control to our customers and see what they could come up with. Jeremy and the Stylefree Crew did a great job and we’re excited to recognize them.”
