glorious marketing of the week
No KFC has not actually created a new gamin console that actually heats chicken while you play it. The KFC 4k Console is a viral advertisement campaign, that KFC launched in December.
One might wonder why KFC would even spend the money on a gaming console advertisement. The answer probably lies in the data. Somewhere in KFC headquarters, they have made a connection that gamers have become one of their largest customer bases.
Knowing their target market has helped them out tremendously. By dialing into the gamers market, they were able to drum up 2.5 M vies, 25k retweets, and 60k+ likes on Twitter. The reach and brand awareness that was obtained by this cannot be understated.
Fast food companies are notorious for making fun and ridiculous advertisements that help generate great brand awareness for them. This is not an exception. Many people who have viewed this advertisement surely know KFC exists and maybe forgot they lived close to one. This advertisement gets those people thinking about KFC again, and ideally, that leads to more sales.
