Why is this work relevant for Brand Experience & Activation?
Bucket Bangers is a partnership between KFC and Spotify to promote the tribute paid to KFC by the rappers and to return them the favor.
background
In France everybody has heard about KFC, but most of the people can’t imagine how much the brand has been a staple in pop culture for decades.
Describe the creative idea (20% of vote)
We launched « Bucket Bangers », a playlist made in partnership with Spotify that lists the best songs quoting KFC (more than 40 songs).
We also launched a large outdoor, street marketing campaign and on digital displays, even one the biggest parisian street wear store, with more than 40 posters. Each poster simply highlights one of the many cool punchlines quoting KFC.
And a contest on social media for the fans to chime in with their own punchlines.
Describe the strategy (20% of vote)
Since the 80’s, rappers quote KFC in their songs. In English, French, German, Russian, or Portuguese. So we decided to quote them in our turn.
Because they are clearly the best copywriters to talk about KFC.
