[Dave & Buster's Entertainment Inc.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dave-busters2) has launched a new marketing campaign that hopes to encourage adult consumers to break out of societal expectations and prioritize what makes them happy. By completing a purchase of $20 or higher with a Power Card, customers receive five free games as a temporary introduction to "The D&B Method."

The new campaign has ushered in a replacement for the restaurant's former tagline, "Ding, Ding, Ding!" which has been swapped to "You Know You Want To." The company has also introduced James Flag, a fictional spokesperson, to promote the new campaign on television.

The ads will appear on CTV, [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollup-refuel), Twitch, Roku, Meta, TikTok, and [Search](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/word-of-the-year), among other platforms. Throughout the summer, the campaign will continue to receive more updates to incentivize adults to prioritize happiness.
