Fogle first came to attention in his native [[Indiana]] by claiming that he lost over {{convert|200|lb|kg}} in part by eating at Subway. After 2008, he was featured less often as the company marketed with more emphasis on its "5 dollar footlong" campaign.<ref name="Yahoo!">{{cite web |first=Matthew|last=Boyle|url=https://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/108119/the-ac |title=The Accidental Hero |website=[[Yahoo!

The campaign focuses on Subway's establishment and early history and features [[Fred DeLuca]], as played by his son, Jonathan. The new campaign downplays the use of jingles and celebrity endorsements (besides "targeted" sports marketing) in favor of focusing on the qualities of its products and specific products. Chief advertising officer Chris Carroll explained that the focus on fat, calories, and weight loss were "what fresh used to be" and that the new campaign would focus more on the sourcing of Subway's ingredients, such as its phase-out of [[Antibiotic use in livestock|antibiotic-treated meat]]. Carroll also explained that the new strategy was being developed prior to the controversy involving Fogle.<ref name="adage-foundedonfresh">{{cite magazine|first=E.J.|last=Schultz|title=Behind Subway's Post-Jared Strategy: No More Discount Ads, Fewer Celebs|url=http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/subway-s-strategy-discount-ads/301938/|magazine=[[Advertising Age]]|publisher=[[Crain Communications]]|location=New York City|date=December 27, 2015|access-date=February 8, 2016|archive-date=February 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160215193707/http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/subway-s-strategy-discount-ads/301938/|url-status=live}}{{subscription required}}</ref>
