ABOUT
The objective of this campaign was to increase the hype—and therefore sales—around Popeyes first Chicken Sandwich. It wasn’t going to be easy. Popeyes was very late to the chicken sandwich game. And this highly competitive market had long been dominated by Chick-fil-A, who owned over 50% of the chicken sandwich market despite being closed on Sundays. Because they were the leader, Chick-fil-A is who we had to steal attention and market share from.
