KFC: Comic Con Africa 2019

KFC was the proud headline sponsor for Comic Con Africa 2019

Challenge

KFC is a heritage brand and is losing out with the youth against competitors in the QSR Space. How do we resonate with a younger market whilst increasing downloads of our app?

Strategic Approach

Drive KFC App Downloads Make an impact. Be credibly present at Comic Con (& to gamers) while still being distinctly true to KFC. Leverage the event to achieve the objectives through digital and activation tactics.

Insight

The standard sponsorship with meaningless & endless logo placement was NOT the goal, the youth resonate with a brand that interacts when them on their level and comes to them with meaning and purpose.

Tactics

Create our very own super hero Captain Colonel with local SA talent. Develop an interactive game, Boetfighter with KFC, to get users to engage with us at the event to win awesome merchandise.
