ENGLISH CONTEXT EXPLANATION :

IN THE JAPANESE MARKET, BURGER KING IS ENORMOUSLY BEHIND MCDONALD’S IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF OUTLETS AND LEVEL OF RECOGNITION. HOWEVER, THE AKIHABARA AREA WAS A UNIQUE SITUATION IN THAT BURGER KING AND MCDONALD’S WERE LINED UP IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY. THIS MCDONALD’S ANNOUNCED ITS SUDDEN CLOSURE, DISPLAYING A POSTER ON ITS STOREFRONT EXPRESSING GRATITUDE TO CUSTOMERS. OUR CAMPAIGN SEIZED THIS AS THE PERFECT CHANCE TO BUILD THE BURGER KING BRAND. WITH JUST A SINGLE STOREFRONT POSTER, DISPLAYED FOR JUST ONE DAY, WITH JUST $500 PRODUCTION COST, WE SHOWED BURGER KING’S PROVOCATIVE STANCE TOWARD MCDONALD’S WITH A SINGLE ANAGRAM. WE ALSO DEVELOPED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES AT MULTIPLE CONTACT POINTS: PHYSICAL, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND PR. THIS BOOSTED BOTH BRAND INDEX AND SALES.
