Shak Rub

Root & Roam teamed up with Clarence “The King of BBQ” to bring his signature all-purpose seasoning to life. From character-driven illustrations to a bold, flavorful brand identity, we crafted a product line that captures Clarence’s larger-than-life personality and the unmistakable taste of Southern BBQ. Our team handled everything, from branding and illustration to FDA-compliant labeling and manufacturer coordination so Shak Rub could launch with confidence and sizzle.
