Hardee’s Uses Snapchat to Help Modernize its Brand Image

Snapchat partnered with Hardee’s and Initiative to build the GO ALL IN positioning with the objective of modernizing the brand image to emotionally connect with consumers while building the equity of their core beef and chicken burger ranges, backed up by rational messages around quality, size and uniqueness of their burgers. The brand sponsored the release of the Godzilla vs King Kong movie in order to reinforce the brand’s territory of unapologetically large, tasty, indulgent burgers which fill you up.

In order to reinforce the GO ALL IN brand positioning we wanted Hardee’s to showcase a bold, carefree, unapologetic attitude to life. We therefore partnered with the brand to focus on a campaign with dual formats focusing on a lens enabling users to choose their Godzilla or King Kong burger leading them to experience the movie character.

The results across the region were outstanding with the lens delivering more than 15 million impressions with an average playtime of 15s ¹. Specific countries such as Qatar and UAE witnessed a stellar playtime of 35s and 24s respectively ¹. Commercials on the other hand delivered more than 2.9 million impressions with a eCPV of 0.005$ and a VTR of 90% ¹. The campaign delivered +6 points ² lift in brand awareness which is double the norm for MENA and +14  points ² lift in purchase intent within the 18-20 age group.
