Advertising
The company owns two blimps named after their appetizer, the Bloomin' Onion I and the Bloomin' Onion II.
In their commercials, the song featured is a version of "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games" composed by Kevin Barnes and his band Of Montreal. Barnes has noted he was "tricked" into letting Outback use the song. The jingle in the commercial is slightly different from the original song, with minor altered lyrics and a didgeridoo in the background.
Throughout the first half of 2006, Jemaine Clement appeared in several Outback commercials. The theme in the advertisements was of Australian sentiment to promote the Australian-theme the brand is built upon. He used a feigned Australian accent in the series, as he is originally from New Zealand.

Famous quotes containing the word advertising:
“Now wait a minute. You listen to me. I’m an advertising man, not a red herring. I’ve got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex- wives, and several bartenders dependent on me. And I don’t intend to disappoint them all by getting myself slightly killed.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
“The same people who tell us that smoking doesn’t cause cancer are now telling us that advertising cigarettes doesn’t cause smoking.”
—Ellen Goodman (b. 1941)
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
