Here is what I feel worked in this campaign!
Leverage: BK saw what otherβs didnβt. A relatively small and unknown football club which would appear in the popular FIFA 20 video game and that you can signup players like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar to that team, and have them score some goals with the BK logo on that jersey.
Peak-Ends Rule: You remember the Highs and Ends of any event. The highest being here were the goals scored by top players! Getting the users to post this on their social media was sure to get the right attention.
