Burger chain Wendy’s has added a timely twist to its free fries and
drink promotion with a spoof election campaign featuring its
international marketing director, Charles Bruce.
The brand awareness promotion devised by below-the-line agency, One Four
One, starts on March 31 with a 600,000 door drop and four-week radio
campaign.
The ’Vote for Charles Bruce’ leaflets will be dropped around the
restaurant areas and given out at football matches. Trayliners will
feature his biography and Bruce’s manifesto will be displayed in the
restaurants.
Wendy’s has 19 stores in the UK, but is looking to expand to 100 by the
end of next year. A UK marketing director is also expected to be
appointed by the end of the year.
