3. In 1950, the Carney brothers asked to borrow $600 from their mother to start
a pizzeria. Thank goodness for her support because that little pizza place has
grown into the world’s largest pizza company with over 6,300 restaurants in the
U.S. Since then, Pizza Hut has been a leader in the industry by introducing the
world to such innovations as stuffed crust and deep pan pizza. For years this
made Pizza Hut the go-to place for family and friends to enjoy America’s favorite
food — all under one roof. But recently, sales have declined as surrounding pizza
chains out-positioned the red-roofed-restaurant in the digital ordering territory.
Pizza Hut cannot stay where they are and continue to be competitive in such a
technologically driven culture.
The Arrowhead Advertising Team made it our mission to establish Pizza Hut as
today’s king of online and mobile ordering — after all, they sold the first-ever
item on the Internet: a large pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom pizza. To
achieve this, we started by learning everything we could about our
18–49-year-old target market, our competition, and the pizza industry.
Through primary and secondary research, we identified four distinct consumer
segments, each having a lot to say about Pizza Hut. We discovered the red roof
was outdated in the eyes of our consumer since many had not interacted with
the brand since childhood. Pizza Hut is where they went for birthdays, ‘Book It!’,
and post little-league baseball games — all types of celebrations. The newly
introduced ‘Flavor of Now’ rebrand has regained the attention of curious
consumers but still needs a digital extension to compete with other
technology-driven pizza chains. There is a chance here to align Pizza Hut’s
heritage and the new product roll-out to create an ordering experience like no
other. Our message, in its simplest form is this:
Pizza Hut’s digital experience delivers a means of celebration, no
matter how big or small the occasion.
Using consumer and industry insights we have collected along the way,
Arrowhead Advertising has built a campaign that combines Pizza Hut’s past with
Pizza Hut’s present — a true integration of their celebratory spirit accompanied
by a new and improved digital presence that will increase online orders to 75%
by the campaign’s end.

4. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Americans now want pizza options that often depart from the
traditional cheese or pepperoni variations. This shift speaks to a broader emphasis on personal health;
consumers expect restaurants to offer health-conscious alternatives like whole-grain or gluten-free
crusts to accommodate what has become an increasingly prevalent shift in lifestyle.
In an industry that has always demanded convenience,
simplicity, and immediate satisfaction, the rise of mobile technology such as smart phones and tablets
has only accelerated the digitization of the pizza market. The typical dining experience is no longer
confined to the traditional sit-down restaurant, as consumers turn to innovative devices to satisfy
their cravings wherever they are.
The ubiquity of technology has radically altered the brand-consumer dynamic.
Consumers expect brands to infuse their experience with the same simplicity
and seamlessness that drives their digital lives on a daily basis.

EXPANSION & INNOVATION
ONLINE ORDERING
The ever-increasing variety
and capabilities of digital devices provides companies with a range of
new touch points designed to enhance relationships with their
customers, offering seamless, web-based ordering systems and
engaging social media content. In addition, social media accounts have
become digital extensions of the brands themselves, playing a crucial
role both in projecting a consistent identity and cultivating a
prosperous relationship with the consumer.
In addition to revamped menus, online
ordering has become the competitive differentiator among brands.
Recent innovations like voice ordering and “pizza trackers” have
allowed brands to distinguish their system as the most innovative and
easiest to use.
In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current pizza marketplace — including emerging
industry trends, the digital landscape, and how, when, and why people eat pizza — Arrowhead Advertising
consulted 50+ relevant articles, reports and case studies, as well as conducted extensive primary research,
utilizing:

Simply put, pizza is at a crossroads. A shift in consumer preference toward a wider range of flavors, combined
with the universal adoption of web-enabled technology, has forced pizza chains to reinvent the traditional
dining experience:
With the 2008 recession firmly behind them, consumers are more
inclined to spend, particularly when dining outside the home. The 2014 IBISWorld Industry Report 1
suggests pizza restaurants that target Americans of higher income brackets by offering more
expensive, gourmet menu items will be primed for the greatest growth.

5. Industry digitization has also had a profound effect on the competitive landscape
— digitally inclined chains have captured market share from smaller-scale pizza
providers who now struggle to keep up due to a lack of capital and/or technological
know-how. Thus, major national chains — namely Domino’s, Papa John’s, and Little
Caesar’s — now stand as Pizza Hut’s main competition. In addition, Pizza Hut’s
inability to project a solidified identity has further hindered its top-of-mind
awareness in relation to competitors.
Despite laying claim to the largest share of the market and highest total sales figure of 2013, Pizza
Hut (30%) is a distant third in the digital space to both Domino’s and Papa John’s, each of which
derive about 45% of their total sales from digital ordering.3
This stems from Pizza Hut’s perception
as a brand that is stuck in the past, both digitally and in their product portfolio.
Pizza Hut took the first steps in addressing changes
in consumer tastes by updating the brand. In November of 2014, it launched the
“Flavor of Now” campaign, the company’s biggest re-branding push in its 57 year
history. “Flavor of Now” introduces ten crust options, six new sauces, five new
toppings, four new “drizzles”, and 11 specialty pizzas to the menu. The campaign is
also accompanied by a revamped brand aesthetic, which features a bolder, more
modernized design and color scheme — consistent in everything from its website to
its pizza boxes. Even its logo — the familiar red roof — has been made flat and one
dimensional: “We’ve got a lot of equity in that roof,” says Jared Drinkwater, VP of
Marketing at Pizza Hut, “but it’s time for a little makeover.”6
Pizza Hut has always been synonymous with its
logo, namely the iconic “red roof” symbol, and its focus on the casual dining
experience. Now, however, growing market digitization situates Pizza Hut’s
commitment to providing a superior dine-in experience as drastically unaligned
with the wants and needs of the modern, on-the-go consumer. Pizza Hut must
consider ways to make “hospitality, comfort, and togetherness”7
seem relevant and
accessible in today’s digital realm if it wants its brand experience to transcend its
dining rooms.

“It’s not a meal—it’s an event.”
Pizza is synonymous with sociality; be it the Super Bowl or a birthday
party, pizza is the go-to food for any social or celebratory affair
because of its convenience, wide appeal, and ability to be shared
with a group.
“I want it now!”
The rise of digital ordering mechanisms has reinforced pizza’s
identity amongst consumers as an affordable dining option that can
be acquired quickly, if not immediately.

6. “…but I want to speak with an actual person.”
Although digital ordering is growing 300% faster than dine-in traffic15
, it hasn’t
been universally adopted; some consumers still favor ordering over the phone
with an employee, which is perceived to ensure higher order accuracy and more
secure payment.
“I want it my way.”
The ability to create their own pizza from a wide variety of toppings, cheeses,
sauces, and crusts provides consumers with the personalized brand experience
they’ve come to expect in the digital age.

Using color-coded brand squares and
four panels representing the four major
ordering methods, participants first
selected which of the pizza chains they
liked the most, then placed the chain’s
square in the panel of their preferred
ordering method: over-the-phone, desktop,
mobile app, or carry-out. We then
interviewed participants after they made
their selections to gain even more insight
into what led to their decision.

Nonusers of online ordering prefer to
interact with a human being either over the phone or in person due to
the perceived higher order accuracy of the “human touch”. They also
find the digital ordering process itself to be too time-consuming, overly
complicated, and untrustworthy. Although they’re often hesitant to
release private information online or through an app, this segment still
indicated they’d be more inclined to order online if features like special
coupons, order confirmation/tracking, and the ability to place orders in
advance were available.16
Users of online ordering find the process to be
expedient and especially useful when ordering on the go, or taking their time
browsing menu items. They also favor interacting with their personal devices
instead of an anonymous employee; they feel freer to create an order at their
own leisure, more confident in order accuracy, and perhaps most
importantly, a greater sense of value as a customer: “The app is more of my
friend because it knows me better than any Pizza Hut employee.”17

who do and do not prefer online ordering,

restaurant employees and which process

“More like Greasy Hut.” 18
Health consciousness and a desire for flavor options play a crucial
role in modern consumers’ dining choices. Despite the recent
launch of its “Flavor of Now” campaign, Pizza Hut still struggles to
shed its perception as a purveyor of “greasy”, low-quality pizza.
“I used to go there after Little League.” 19
Pizza Hut’s reputation as a place where people can enjoy a
traditional dine-in experience is now unaligned with the wants and
needs of the modern, on-the-go consumer. As a result, Pizza Hut is
perceived as outdated and irrelevant in the digital market.
In order to find consumers’ brand and ordering preferences as well as to create an
opportunity to engage with participants in a unique and fun way, we created the Pizza Poll.

7. & SEGMENTATION
“The general pizza customer is a pretty
broad target, typically 18–64-year-olds. In
terms of digital, that target narrows to
18–49-year-olds and more specifically
millennials aged 18-34.” 20
From our research, we discovered that despite having
some commonalities, not all consumers within a given
demographic are alike; this prompted us to consider
behavior rather than demographic characteristics in order
to identify, and then further segment our target market.
After consulting the findings of 67 “Esri Tapestry Lifestyle
Segmentation” reports — which encompass the market
profile for each segment of American consumers — we
pulled the 14 segments that best fit the profile for our
desired target: digitally inclined consumers who, although
increasingly more health conscious, are still likely to
frequent fast food establishments to take advantage of
convenience and cost.
As research findings continued to reinforce the idea that
consumers perceive pizza as “a social food”, we decided to
further classify the consumers in each segment based on
who they consumed pizza with: family or friends.
Of those who consume with friends, we further defined
the segment based on life stage. Of those who consume
with family, we defined that segment based on
psychographics. This led us to define four target groups
that allowed us to tailor executions unique to each
segment within a broader 18-49 demographic. Even though
millennials are more inclined to order digitally, our target
market had to be broadened in order to make Pizza Hut’s
primary digital goal more feasible.

8. DIGITAL DREAMERS
THE IN-BETWEENERS
VALUE HUNTERS
THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR
To the Digital Dreamer, technology is at the center of everything they do. That makes it easy to target them digitally but with their vast
knowledge of technological advances, it’s hard to show them something they haven’t seen before. Pizza is all about convenience, whether
it is ordered after a night out or because they couldn’t make it to the grocery store. Either way, the digital ordering process must be sleek
and effortless or we’ll lose their attention.
From newlyweds to new graduates, our tech-savvy In-Betweeners are going through major life changes. They are moving cities, moving in,
and moving on to the next stage of their lives. These transitional periods can be chaotic so they do seek out constants — especially when it
comes to brands. Our married In-Betweeners still have the mentality of singles when in social settings so for this segment, pizza is a means
of bringing old and new friends together.
Our Value Hunters rarely make a purchase without a coupon and when they do, price always beats quality. They provide for their families
through a strict deal-driven lifestyle. Pizza is a means of sustenance and the social aspect is just an added benefit. You are more likely to
see them using a TV tray than sitting together at the table because family time to them is bonding over the house’s favorite show.
Between getting the little ones to school, little league, and those play dates, our Family Next Door leads a very fast paced life fueled by
technology. Their tablet and smartphone are always at arm’s reach, with each day scheduled to a tee. There’s no other way to balance a full
time job and the kids. Come dinnertime, you will find the whole house at the table enjoying each other’s company — especially when it’s
pizza night. When it comes to ordering the pie, customization and speed is a must.

9. & RECOMMENDATIONS
Create an integrated campaign that
modernizes Pizza Hut’s brand identity
with the digital experience at the
campaign’s forefront.
Reach the target segments through a
synergistic media plan emphasizing the
use of digital, social, and traditional
media, but not excluding non-traditional
media.
Enhance Pizza Hut’s user experience by
developing solutions to common online
ordering deterrents, and injecting the
classic Pizza Hut experience into the
digital space.
BRANDING
SYNERGY
USER EXPERIENCE
PROMOTIONS INITIATIVES
Research shows that consumers perceive a company more favorably when its brand stands for
something and reinforces that position through its advertising.21
Increase the positive perception of Pizza
Hut and it’s digital world through
promotions designed to stimulate trial,
registration, and repeat behavior.
OBJECTIVES In developing our strategy, we broke down each objective by defining them based on the area
of Pizza Hut’s business they affected:
ADVERTISING MARKETING SALES
Position Pizza Hut as the top
choice for customers who
order digitally
Provide the greatest digital
ordering experience in the
category
Reach the target of 75% of all
orders placed digitally by the
end of 2015
Consumers perceive other pizza chains as having distinct qualities and attributes. These serve as the
competitive cornerstones of the brands’ identities, and are reflected heavily in their advertising. For
example, Papa John’s — which had the most favorable perception amongst our survey respondents —
embodies its commitment to the quality of its products in its “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.” slogan.
Pizza Hut needs to reflect on the qualities that made it so successful and build an updated positioning
strategy to reinforce it. While “The Flavor of Now” is a step in the right direction in addressing a changing
consumer palate, it doesn’t specifically focus on the digital space.
Perhaps the most prominent element of the Pizza Hut brand lies in its logo — the iconic red roof
symbolizes a warm welcome into an environment where great experiences are shared over great food. As
pizza evolves from a dine-in experience to an on-demand service, Pizza Hut needs to consider ways its
brand can be experienced outside the brick-and-mortar restaurants.
In staying true to the Pizza Hut experience, the campaign must not reinvent the Pizza Hut narrative, but
write a new chapter that resonates with the needs of the modern consumer.

10. THE SINGLE THOUGHT WE WILL COMMUNICATE
BRAND-DEFINING IDEA
IDENTITY CROSSROADS
TONE & PERSONALITY
The connection between Pizza Hut and the social experience has
weakened in the minds of consumers. The brand’s emphasis on the dine-in
experience renders its classic identity as outdated and misaligned with
trends in the pizza as well as the broader quick-service food industry.
Every moment is a chance to celebrate; just as pizza consumption is no
longer confined to the four walls of a restaurant, so too is celebration no
longer limited to milestone events. This idea must be transformed into a
trigger point to order digitally.
The Pizza Hut digital experience delivers the ideal tribute to any celebratory
moment.
Welcoming, Inspiring, Sociable, Relatable
People are always looking for reasons to celebrate — New Year’s, birthdays,
graduations. But what about the moments that don’t have a title? When did
celebration become exclusive to achievement and not enjoyment?
Now’s the time for Pizza Hut to redefine celebration:
To give meaning to those everyday victories.
To use today’s technology to make the most of today’s moments.
IT’S TIME TO GRAB A SLICE AND MAKE A TOAST.
HERE’S TO the daily celebrations, with family that became your friends, and
friends that became your family.
HERE’S TO the little things that make up the big picture.
HERE’S TO pleasure.
HERE’S TO enjoyment.
PIZZA HUT —
“HERE’S TO NOW” is the acknowledgment of a moment’s significance
“HERE’S TO NOW” is an ode to the power and presence of today’s technology
“HERES TO NOW” is immediate satisfaction; “I want pizza, and I want it now!”
“HERE’S TO NOW” is a celebration of how far Pizza Hut has come — it highlights the
rebranding and new product rollout
But most importantly...
“HERE’S TO NOW” is Pizza Hut’s brand-defining idea manifested as a trigger point
for digital ordering.
To test our concept among our target segments, we asked 200 respondents a series of
questions in regards to our campaign tagline. Participant feedback only strengthened the faith
we had in the “HERE’S TO NOW” tagline to capture the essence of our campaign.

Increase consumer awareness of Pizza Hut’s digital
presences
Provide a seamless and cyclical ordering process that
keeps users coming back
Make Pizza Hut’s app and website a necessity for both
digital users and non-users
Encourage customers to create an online Pizza Hut
account
To meet our objective of creating the best digital ordering
experience in the category, three major additions to Pizza
Hut’s existing digital assets will be introduced.
Pizza Hut’s “Flavor of Now” menu allows for endless combinations of original toppings,
crusts, and drizzles. To increase consumer awareness of the new menu, we will introduce
FlavorPoint — an interactive board that provides a visually stunning platform for exploration
and ordering.
FlavorPoint will be installed in high
traffic, iconic locations.
The board itself is a 4’ X 6’ stationary
touchscreen where passersby are
invited to customize their own virtual
pizza using the revamped ingredients.
Users advance through the stages of
pizza creation — from sauces to
drizzles — by tapping, dragging, and
dropping on and around the pie crust.
Once finished, they will be prompted
to either hold their NFC capable device
to the board or scan a displayed QR
code to transfer the pizza from
FlavorPoint to their phone. It is then
added to a cart on the Pizza Hut
mobile website where users can
easily have their pizza delivered to
them at a nearby address.

Amanda - Your pizza is 5 minutes away.
Don’t forget to put your pants on!
Door-to-Door puts to rest the age-old question of, “How long until the
pizza gets here?” By utilizing simple GPS and barcode software,
located on a delivery driver-side app, customers will now know when
their pizza is on its way and how long the wait will be. Order receipts
are assigned a barcode that drivers scan when en route. Upon
scanning, the driver-side app approximates the time it will take to
reach the destination. So once the order is out Pizza Hut’s door,
customers receive push notifications when the driver hits the 15, 10,
and 5 minute mark. For access to Door-to-Door, users must sign up for
an online Pizza Hut account.
Say goodbye to that awkward, and often complicated process of
splitting the check among friends. When our user is about to check out
on either the Pizza Hut app or website, they’ll have the option of paying
with My Slice. If a group needs to split the bill, their Pizza Hut logins will
serve as a payment method — no cash or cards needed. The simple and
intuitive design allows the orderer to either charge individual items to
friends or split the total evenly. All Pizza Hut accounts involved are
subsequently sent an email asking for payment approval. After all
parties have accepted, funds are transferred, pizzas are made, and
nobody has to worry about IOUs.

OBJECTIVES
College GameDay is ESPN’s live pregame show that reports on highly
anticipated college football matchups. Pizza Hut will partner with them
for a season-long, voting-based promotion called Pick ‘n Play. One
matchup each week will be highlighted on air. It’s simple — if the team
you pick wins, you win.
College football fans must create a Pizza Hut online account to play.
Then by accessing the Pick ‘n Play ballots on either the ESPN or Pizza
Hut website, they pick the team they think will win. Players who pick
correctly will receive a coupon redeemable online for breadsticks or a
Hershey’s Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie. In addition, they will
participate in our weekly drawings where one lucky fan will walk away
with free pizza for an entire year. This leads up to our Pick ‘n Play grand
prize. Each time users correctly pick the winning team, they will be
entered to win an all-expense paid trip for two to the College Football
Playoff National Championship game in Glendale, Arizona. The winners
will be announced in late December, 2015.

At the start of the “HERE’S TO NOW” campaign, Pizza Hut will introduce
Pizza Perks — a point-based loyalty program that requires customers to
sign up for an online account to enroll. Once registered, users redeem
points for prizes based on a three-level incentivised tier system. Members
automatically receive five free points for registering online — a great
introduction to the program. Users continue to earn points with every Pizza
Hut order. Each dollar they spend on the app, mobile site, and website is
equal to one point.

Additional points are awarded for ordering featured menu items like
speciality pizzas and new drizzles. They’ll also be given the choice of

17. Television is one of the most efficient ways to build brand awareness and
broadcast offers a national reach and coverage essential to reaching all four of
our targets.
30 second spots will air both nationally and in our top 18 DMAs during early fringe, prime, and late
fringe on shows and networks that our targets are watching. While some buys are geared specifically
towards one of our target markets, many of these placements appeal to all four.

Media buys are based on our four target audiences’ consumption and lifestyle
habits. To compliment the rollout of Pizza Hut’s existing “Flavor of Now”
campaign while also bringing awareness to our “HERE’S TO NOW” extension, we
will utilize high-impact, high-awareness, and high-engagement media channels.
Front-load media to achieve a maximum four-week reach of 80% during
campaign kick-off, with an average frequency of 5. With the exception
of August, reach will range from 50-80% over the life of the campaign
with frequency averaging from 3-5
Select digital media that remains heavy throughout the six-month
flight, generating 2.4 billion target impressions

19. While our traditional media will run nationally with spot
market support in the top 18 overall DMAs, we are able to
use our digital advertising to speak more directly to each
target. Esri ArcGIS fuses substantial data with
geographical mapping software to help us identify, down
to a zip code level, where our targets cluster. This will be
used both in our target DMAs and nationwide.
Though an overall DMA may be significant in size based
on total population, our four very different segments may
be concentrated in only certain areas within that DMA.
For example, in Dallas, through our demographic,
psychographic and geographic ArcGIS data, we will be
able to serve a digital execution completely tailored to
Digital Dreamers in zip code 75287. With 33,385 Digital
Dreamers in this zip code alone, we’ll be reaching 14% of
the Digital Dreamers living in the Dallas DMA.
Similarly, knowing the low presence of Value Hunters in
75287, we will be able to avoid serving an execution in this
geographic area where it would not resonate with
residents. However, in neighboring zip code 75060, there
are 19,202 Value Hunters waiting to be reached. Based on
this information, we can serve an entirely different
execution unique to this target — all within the same DMA;
something traditional media would not allow.
Optimizations will be made throughout the campaign
according to Key Performance Indicators: Click Through
Rate, Conversion Rate, and Video Completion Rate.
This Dallas map illustrates the
importance of knowing exactly
where our targets are living. Digital
Dreamers have a low population in
size in the Dallas DMA; if we were
to strictly have digital media based
on DMA, we would be missing
potential consumers. However,
certain zip codes within the Dallas
DMA have high concentrations of
our Digital Dreamers. Knowing
these zip codes, we can make sure
they are being served an execution
tailored just for them, only in these
areas.
Conversely to Digital Dreamers,
Value Hunters have a large
presence in the Dallas area. In
knowing all the zip codes that
Value Hunters occupy, we are able
to serve digital media executions
unique to them and feel confident
in having Dallas as one of the top 18
DMAs that we have spot market
support in.

media buys and factored in different Conversion Rates
for each to determine how many targeted impressions
we would need to convert into our six-month digital
transaction goal.
Looking at traditional first, we set our reach and

spot media buys to analyze how many impressions our
media buy would generate.
reach our 75% goal, we subtracted the orders
anticipated from traditional media buys to find
the number of orders needed through our
digital media placements.

our digital media placements, we allocated these impressions
across our digital media partners, taking into account how the
partners would reach our 4 target segments, how they
compliment our promotions, and which ones highlight our
digital executions best.
Using an objective-and-task method of building our budget,
adding in the costs of the other components of our campaign
to our media plan, we were able to build our total budget.
