• #Share4adoption also increased sales, as people
posted pictures with cups online. The hashtag also
had a deeper meaning and was for a good cause
• Advertisements contain humour and
wit (Unruly lecture showcases how
emotions matter in order to connect
with consumers)
• Some may not like the companies sense of
humour, as they ‘roast’ others on Twitter
• Some may argue that this strategy is not effective
in the long term
• Consumers who don’t like Wendy’s banter and
roasts on social media sites may not buy from
them
• Not very durable – people may get bored of
Wendy’s humour and jokes
• Could use more singers to carry on the ‘love songs’
idea when launching new products, as it worked
well with the Pretzel bacon cheese burger
23. 5Cs

Looking at the logo of Wendy’s, this has changed over the years and has experienced its most recent transformation back in 2013. This logo has been designed with a hidden message in the collar that reads ‘mom’. The reason as to why there is a little girl as part of the logo is firstly because Wendy’s is in fact named after the founder Dave Thomas’ daughter. Furthermore, the word ‘mom’ has been strategically hidden within the logo due to sentiment that it comes with. A survey by the food network UK highlighted how many men in fact prefer nothing more than their mum’s cooking. This thus, indicates that almost everyone loves a home-cooked meal by their mum as this where they feel safe and loved. The logo itself is thus, highly personal and surprisingly sentimental.
Furthermore, the colour red often used amongst several fast food chains including: Mcdonald’s, KFC as well as Pizza Hut is commonly used due to it’s power to stimulate appetite.

Content marketing has been one of the greatest digital marketing trends. Made up of 4 strategies, design, reach, engage and convert, Wendy’s have shown to also contribute to these strategies. They have reached out to customers on twitter by producing authentic and unconventional content. They are constantly engaged with these customers and this led to them generating traffic which has in some cases resulted in a sale as can be seen in this tweet.

This graph looks at Wendy’s tweets, the tweet posted on the 3rd January when someone asked where they could find the nearest Mcdonald’s, Wendy’s replied with a picture of a trashcan.

Furthermore, looking at Wendy’s engagement and how its split up, its’ found that 98% of their engagement is made up retweets, replies and likes, with only 2% coming from mentions. However, 95% of this engagement with customers comes from answering random questions e.g. about competitors as opposed to real enquiries. This goes to show that Wendy’s is mainly using twitter to have fun.

The current strategy that Wendy’s is taking despite being very unconventional is growing in popularity. We found this is because of 5 key factors: Unexpectedness, humour, controversy, consistency and escalation.
Firstly in terms of unexpectedness, Wendy’s are breaking the norm, rather than using their social media platforms to promote their food or answer customer enquiries they are instead one of the first big brands to truly reflect their brand’s personality which is to be witty, funny and above all human. This is something that people are automatically drawn to.
Next is humour, the ability to make people laugh is especially beneficial in building brand-consumer relationships as it highlights the firm being more approachable and friendly, in this case the word ‘approachable’ is debatable however.
Controversy: Wendy’s in this case is in a scenario where some people hate them but some people love what theyre doing. However, either way they are getting people talking about them and thus, gaining more attention.
In relation to consistency, this is something that Wendy’s have done particularly well as they continued to carry out this strategy and roast people. When people visit Wendy’s page they will not be disappointed.
Finally escalation: Wendy’s have not just been tweeting about the quality of their food or that of competitors but they also truly been insulting people thus, showing that they have little limits. However, this has shown to be something that people are simply more interested in.

In terms of COBRA model, there is a moderate to high brand related activity. Consumption is high as consumers listen, watch and read comments on various media platforms. Contributing is also very high as consumers rate products, engage in branded conversations like pretzellovesongs and share4adoption, some engage in roasting activity, as well as retweet and like company’s content. In terms of creating, currently, individuals participate in photo sharing dedicated to share4adpotion campaign, as well tweeted lyrics for the pretzellovesong. However, this aspect can be further improved, which will be covered in recommendation part.
If we compare a number of stores with other metrics, we can see that Wendy’s, despite the lowest number of stores and mainly US based operations, is not the lowest in terms of followers and likes on a number of media platforms.
For example, Wendy’s have 1,5 million followers on Twitter, while Burger King and KFC are behind.
When it comes to Facebook and YouTube, Wendy’s is behind McDonalds and KFC, but ahead of Burger King, which has 2 times more stores worldwide.
However, it is clear that the number of Instagram followers can be improved
In terms of SWOT, Wendy’s strengths are related to an effective share4adoption media campaign that allowed to increase a number of sales and more importantly improved company perception as caring, as well as use of humor and wit content in ads, which attracts people attention easier and more effective.
Wendy’s weaknesses are related to the fact that roasting people on twitter may be counterproductive and would not have a long term effect
Wendy’s opportunity is to elaborate with other singers when launching new products, as it was one for the love song, as it worked very well with pretzel bacon cheese burger.
Finally, Wendy’s face two threats, which are related to their roasting style of communication, first is that consumers who do not like Wendy’s roasts may stop purchasing from them and second is that people may get bored of Wendy’s jokes
Overall, the 5C’s summarizes what has already been mentioned in the previous slides. To begin with we have defined who exactly their customers are and who Wendy’s compete with. As mentioned previously – their main rivals include McDonalds, Burger King and KFC. Their collaborators include the Pretzel Love song singer Nick Lachey, and all their followers who have previously contributed in this campaign and tweeted the interesting lyrics featured on the songs.
In terms of context, social aspect shows that as people are more health conscious and Wendy’s is already positioned as a healthy brand, then they can use this for their advantage. However, from the technological side, as Wendy’s announced an introduction of self-ordering kiosks, it will help to compete with McDonalds, but it might have a social disadvantage as this means staff cut and less employment available in the community.

1- Mother’s day filter- Wendy’s lady face as the filter, then customers can take pics of themselves alone or with their mom and post that on twitter and participate in a wendy's mothers day hashtag!
this can help make consumers contribute and create on two social media platforms, and will also strengthen the image of wendy’s mom secret message
2- social listening and real time marketing, they did something KFC refused to do - and this can help Wendy's also attract a very niche market (healthy eaters)
