Bringing Back Challenges
Flaming Grill
36% ahead of like-for-like sales growth target
6.6k organic engagements across facebook and instagram
The Challenge
To relaunch the famous Flaming Grill challenges through an omnichannel campaign. The primary goal was to improve brand awareness for long-term consideration, using the challenges as a USP to engage customer wants and needs in a saturated market.
The Idea
We brought together the digital team in one brainstorm to ensure social, PR, web and CRM were working seamlessly to launch a fully integrated campaign for the biggest impact.
As the project’s creative lead, we devised a multi-channel approach, designed to create excitement and anticipation (and maybe just a bit of controversy!) around the launch of the challenges.
Steering away from the calorie and timed challenge messages, we leant into the spicy dish on the menu. The campaign narrative followed a rogue social media admin going against their boss’s wishes to launch a bid to bring back the challenges, complete with leaked memos and an official petition.
Designed to stir the pot on social and drive audience engagement in the run-up to the launch, it culminated with the boss ‘going on holiday’ and the social media admin bringing the challenges back (for a limited time only).
The Results
Most notably, the campaign exceeded the like-for-like sales growth target by 36%, with a 6.8% increase on last September across the five weeks the campaign was live.

- 486k organic reach across Facebook and Instagram
