2. The Bad Idea – Bunny Farm
• “Bunny Farm provides customers with a closer look at the
beauty of bunnies, that will bring great joy to anyone who
comes in contact with the soft fur and cuddly nature.”
• “Bunny Farm strives to bring a world of excitement in
educating people about the history of bunnies, as well as
one-on-one play time.”
• “Bunny Farm’s goal is to teach others how they can learn
from bunnies and build a better world.”
• A social/mobile app will be developed “so Bunny Farm
fans can take their experience anywhere they go”
• Created by Brandon Lipincott:

3. The Pivot
• “Bunny Farm” gets rebranded as “The Bunny Farm”
• The soft and fuzzy bunnies are raised in sustainable,
organic environment for preparation by master chefs for
consumption by adventurous “foodies”
• High end dining experience is done “al fresca” surrounded
by “Free Range Bunnies”.
• Bunny fur outerwear is for sale in the gift shop.
• All patrons receive a complimentary “Lucky Bunny Foot” as
a memento.
4. The Launch
• As a launch promotion, we will send a tip to PETA
describing the nature of the business in an effort to incite
a protest.
• The goal is to start a dialogue on what is acceptable to
societal norms in the US, drawing attention to sustainable
farming (we use all of the bunny).
• We play off the juxtaposition of “cuddly bunnies” with a
cooked rabbit.
