The Brief
While in America and Europe KFC Basket is already a part of internet culture, in Russia people were still unaware of it.
The goal: to tell the young audience about the product, about which almost no one knows in Russia
Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation
So we re-invented the "Baskethead" meme, using Russian reality. We used the power of crowdsource creative from one of the biggest internet youth community in Russia: MDK (similar to 9gag). Within four weeks, KFC basket became a new Russian meme.
Execution
The insight was "when I have fun with my friends, everything we do should be fun". We positioned KFC basket as a fun way to eat chicken.
Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results
Results
Within a month we reached more than 10 million members of the target audience. The number of young people who tried KFC's Basket after the campaign has grown by 50 %.
Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service
We engage young people using their own language and launched the first meme campaign in Russia.
