SUMMARY
To stand out from other food companies making claims about their use of artificial additives, Chipotle wanted to create a marketing experience showcasing the collective simplicity of its food via a direct comparison of their ingredients and their competitors. The result is Friend or Faux, a responsive, educational gaming experience and sweepstakes that succeeded on multiple fronts: in user engagement and offer distribution; in display ad effectiveness; and in its larger objective of strengthening brand loyalty and positive sentiment toward the brand.
