Burger King: Hijacking Christmas
Top 6: December 6th 2023
Burger King UK aims to cut through the busiest time of year by subverting two of the biggest festive traditions, in its latest campaign - ‘Hijacking Christmas’ - from BBH. Leaving the magical moments to other brands, Burger King’s ‘hijack’ takes on two of the biggest icons of the season: Santa Claus and the Christmas #1. OOH executions play on the dual meanings of ‘Whopper’, which can describe Burger King’s signature burger… or an exceptionally big fib. Like suggesting there’s a genial man in a red, fur-trimmed suit who uses a herd of reindeer to deliver presents to children all over the world, without being caught on Ring cameras or being questioned over the GDPR compliance of his naughty and nice list. Which of course, there absolutely is (for any kids reading this). The cult classic, Driving Home For Christmas, has been rewritten to ensure, during the lead up to the big day, people are guided to 21 Burger King Drive Thru locations across the most travelled motorways in the UK, with specific turn-by-turn directions. The new rendition is titled, very cleverly, Driving (Thru The) Home (Of The Whopper) For Christmas. This new song and future hit, is accompanied by a eight-minute '80s style 'music video' extravaganza starring an all singing and dancing sat-nav. That’s not all, the full length song has been sliced to create individual local radio ads that target listeners when they are driving by any of the 21 drive thru destinations. So they can drive thru the Home of the Whopper while they’re driving home for Christmas.
