Why is this work relevant for Direct?
This is a direcional billborad made to direct traffic into a KFC restaurant.
Background
KFC newest restaurant in Majorca was located in a newly developed area with unknown street names and nomenclature. The only reference point was the nearby IKEA.
We needed a directional billboard to drive traffic into our restaurant.
Describe the creative idea (30% of vote)
We planted a billboard and disguised our brand into an IKEA billboard by borrowing the Swedish brand visual cues in order to make the signage simpler, notorious, and more memorable.
Describe the strategy (20% of vote)
We relied on the local insight that small business located neaby an IKEA use it as a reference point when describing their address Eg: (1473 Oak ST, 500 mts next to IKEA)
