                            [   Burger King appeals to all people, but especially to the
                                Superfan. BK has successfully connected with this target
                                through TV, radio, and non-traditional methods...

                                But the problem is that these Superfans live in a digital
                                world now where the internet is king. They need to be
                                entertained and connected to friends.


BK.com’s main objective must be to give the Superfan a site
that will make them want to come back time and time again.
                             ***
  It should be unpredictable and always changing—surprises
                     around every corner.

                                The new site will transform BK.com into The King’s world.
                                This game-like atmosphere will provide users opportunities
                                to move up in status, gain favor with the King, and earn
                                free stuff at BK. The site and store will cooperate to in-
                                crease brand equity and sales simultaneously. The BK site
                                will be a daily internet destination for Superfans.




                                Everybody is going to want to “Kick it with the King.”

MONEY LOWDOWN
                Indulgers aren’t rolling in the money, but that sure doesn’t
                stop them from eating what they want. With BK, they
                can get full at a low price, and they can be entertained
                on the net for hours for even less.

                Every bit of their money will be spent if they have some-
                thing worth buying. When deciding what products to
                buy, price is always a factor. Getting a better price is
                cited as the primary factor when making a purchase

       The entire objective of the plan we’ve created is to drive The Indulger to the restaurant and
       increase sales at Burger King. Bottom line, this is going to increase profits for the Burger
       King Corporation.

       Using an intensely interactive and addicting online experience, the website will drive The
       Indulger to the restaurant, and the restaurant will drive The Indulger back to the website in
       a game where the users online social and economic standing improves as they eat more
       whoppers.

       This website is the BK executives order for King sized profits, with extra cabbage.

The website launches July 1st, the day the King
moves into his crib. House shopping isn’t anything
that happens overnight, and we’re trying to keep this
experience as real as it possibly can. Our promotion
will start in March since finding the perfect house will
take some time.

Between the months of June and July, we’ll be using
a combination of both traditional and non-traditional
media to spark attention, create curiosity, and inform
people of the day the King moves in and how they
can be a part of it. The entire objective of all advertis-
ing prior to July 1st is to get the paparazzi in the trees
and the riots on the streets when the King’s army of
moving trucks pulls into his driveway.

THE ROOMS
     DON’T END HERE
This ain’t no mansion on the Hills with 12 rooms and a guest house. Were talking an endless amount of rooms
with endless amount of new stuff to discover. When rooms get old, they phase out and new ones appear.



King of the Room: Fight friends in a mosh pit. Last man standing wins.

Destruction Room: Arsenal included to destroy any and everything.

Painting Gallery: Go through the door and submit an image of a face and a hobby. As you walk through the art
exhibit, the face that was imported is artistically displayed on every canvas.

Velcro Room: Walk into a room of velcro and trampolines. Toggle with key combinations to fit into pre-made body
shapes on the wall for points.

Bubble Wrap: Nothing more enjoyable then hearing the crisp popping sound of bubble wrap. And with it covering the
walls and floor, every step is a dream come true.

Rave Party: Black lights. Body paint. And techno.

Get Shrunk: As you walk into this room, your avatar is shrunk to mini size, yet all the objects in the room retain their
normal size. With obstacles in your path, get points for getting through the room.

70’s Room: The point of this room is to rock out your dance moves. You can create your own beats to dance to or
upload your favorite song. All the while, the King is DJ-ing from the balcony.

Human Aquarium: Walk in and transform your avatar into an underwater sea creature. Float. Swim. Sink. Have fun.

NCMO Room: Go ahead, pick any other avatar you want. The lights are low and the mood is right. You can find a
love sack of your own, or pull a prank on the sickos making out right next to you.

Fur Room: Polar bear fur-covered walls, floor and ceiling. Now do what you will.

                                                                    36
Tagging Room: Lets see your artistic abilities as you spray paint your own master piece in the King’s palace. You will
get rated on creativity and can frame your piece of the wall.

Slow-Mo Room: Everything in this room moves in slow motion, giving you a better chance of getting a glimpse of the
King or any of the other BK members!

Karaoke Room: Think you’re good at R-E-S-P-E-C-T? Challenge a friend and see who can hit the most notes and
score the highest.

Pimp My Ride: You’ve pimped out your room, now pimp out a ride of your choice. If the King likey then you might
find one of the only ways out of the house—a free joy ride.

Car Crash Testing Room: Upload a car from a list or import your “pimp my ride” vehicle to test if it is fit for the high-
way.

Petting Zoo: Walk into a room with cages of lions, pythons, etc. on either side. Some people might set them free on
purpose, while others cooperate to get them back in their cages.

King’s Labyrinth: Everybody likes a maze, but don’t decide to enter unless you willing to figure this one out. There is
only one exit, but once you got it go back and help the others.

Frogger: Try to cross the street while Homer’s drunk driving and Whopper Jr.’s talking on his cell phone.

The Arcade: Wait What? Playing video games inside of a video game- Crazy!

Surveillance Room: Take a little peek at what’s going on in the other rooms.

Hell: In this room, there is fire and brimstone. A big fat devil lives there. And there are periodic consequences for
dwelling. E.g., computer pop-ups, freezes of other programs.

Ambush: Walk into a dark, calm room. Suddenly, those in the room are attacked by NINJAS!!! Throwing stars, kata-
nas, and smoke bombs in full throttle.

Jury Room: At periodic points of the day, there is a pop culture trial involving a celebrity. You can be selected for
jury duty or just sit in the audience and see the hilarity of it.

AMBUSH
CREATIVE




One of the most vital parts to the success of this web-
site is intercepting and catching Indulger’s attention while
they’re online. This market spends most of their Internet
time staying socially connected to their friends and catch-
ing up on the funniest new videos. So the challenge is to
give them a reason to leave the comfort of their old sites
and move on to the hottest, most kick ass website in this
cyber of a world.



                        Some of the most popular websites for Indulgers include
                        Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, IGN, ESPN, and YouTube.
                        Therefore, we’re going to to use all of their current web-
                        sites to promote BK’s new site. This will be done by
                        posting banner ads on these sites with live time video
                        footage of what’s going on in the house. Watching the
                        King run by with three hotties, carrying a large fondue
                        maker, a hockey mask and a bowling ball would get
                        anyone interested in the happenings at the King’s house.
                        “What’s going on over there? Did I just see Homer Simp-
                        son run by with a flamethrower?”




                                                                    40
On the Onion.com, there will be news
     stories of what the King is up to. This will
       be very popular before the King moves
          in because readers can follow him on
       his house hunting trips. After the launch,
                                                 [
     stories will include topics like what pranks
     the King has pulled, the mass chaos he’s
       caused, and the new people he’s been
           bringing to the house, like P. Diddy or
                                    Optimus Prime.

[          With only $10 million we have to be smart to reach the In-
           dulger. For this reason, we choose to focus our attention on
           three major markets LA, Atlanta, and Chicago.
                                                                            The Fox Sunday night line is an Indulger favorite, and

           LA is the perfect spot to launch the campaign. Atlanta may       ,G4, Comedy Central, and Adult Swim. 74% of Indulgers
           seem like a surprise but according to our research, Atlanta      watch MTV2, 63.7% of Indulgers watch G4, 47.1% watch
                                                                            Comedy Central, and 77.8% watch Adult Swim.

           Atlanta with a high amount of frequent fast food eaters. Don’t
           be surprised to see our teaser Billboard located along our
           major markets.

The King has found a new home, and the door is
open to all. Through pre- and post-launch promotions,
Indulgers will be led to and from the website and
restaurant, thus generating revenue for BK. We want
this to be a fun and beneficial experience for both the
consumer as well as Burger King.




                                              THANK YOU   COME AGAIN

BK has successfully connected with this target through TV, radio, and non-traditional methods... But the problem is that these Superfans live in a digital world now where the internet is king. They need to be entertained and connected to friends. BK.com’s main objective must be to give the Superfan a site that will make them want to come back time and time again. *** It should be unpredictable and always changing—surprises around every corner. The new site will transform BK.com into The King’s world. This game-like atmosphere will provide users opportunities to move up in status, gain favor with the King, and earn free stuff at BK. The site and store will cooperate to in- crease brand equity and sales simultaneously. The BK site will be a daily internet destination for Superfans. Everybody is going to want to “Kick it with the King.” 5

In contrast, BK.com has remained traditional, corporate and bland. 8
  • 9. WHO I AM I AM [ Burger King is your cool uncle. You know the guy, he’s your Mom’s youngest brother, and she can’t help but to get a little * nervous anytime he’s around. While everyone else gives you the facts of life all covered in sugar and roses, He’s the one who waits until no one else is listening and then gives it to you straight. You love it. You want the hot girlfriends he brings to family get- togethers. You wish his college streaking stories were yours, you can’t resist his “so-what” attitude, and love the way he drives your Mom crazy. No one else in your family is like him, and no other competitor in the fast food market is like Burger King. Using this irreverent ap- proach and breaking through the conservative mold of fast food marketing has helped Burger King brand itself as the cool uncle among the family of fast food restaurants. That’s just the way it is, so count on it like an abacus. 9

With BK, they can get full at a low price, and they can be entertained on the net for hours for even less. Every bit of their money will be spent if they have some- thing worth buying. When deciding what products to buy, price is always a factor. Getting a better price is cited as the primary factor when making a purchase decision as said by 60.5% of the respondents. 3 $ Whether the pressure comes from the creditor or their friends, they find a way to pay. GLUED TO THE TUBE What are the Indulgers doing when they are not at BK? Indulg- ing in the media, of course. They watch Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, on programs such as G4, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, MTV2, and FX. They love video games and over 62% of the Indulgers are gamers. Time is precious to them and they are constantly on-the-go, even if they have nothing to do. In order to always stay in the loop, they will always have their cell phone or laptop handy. Like their food, they want everything fast. 15

The entire objective of all advertis- ing prior to July 1st is to get the paparazzi in the trees and the riots on the streets when the King’s army of moving trucks pulls into his driveway. 30
