The Doppelgänger
Burger King repackaged its previously obscure value items under one platform “the tough time meals”. The menu was then launched through a stripped-down campaign, produced at a low budget, using limited props, and a celebrity doppelganger cast, all packaged together in a hilarious, kitschy manner, with one key message: we are saving on everything, except the quality of our food. The message created lots of engagement with Burger King’s fans, so much so that the relaunch generated a whopping 1547% increase in sales compared to the same period of 2019.

Twitter Bait
How to launch a new product with a $0 production budget? This is the challenge we, and Burger King, faced in Q1 2019. A historically slow quarter, the brand needed the launch of a new dessert product to be successful, but with little resources to offer in support. We got scrappy, identifying an opportunity to hijack a trending conversation with a contentious social media behavior bound to get people talking. Our target? Influencers, who have the highest reach potential. They took the bait, and the launch was an overwhelming success.
