Description
Burger King has pulled a surprising, global, integrated advertising campaign showing its iconic Whopper covered in mold. Yes, you read it right. A Whopper sandwich covered in mold. Instead of featuring its product with the classic flawless and often perfect photographic style commonly used to showcase fast food products, Burger King let its most iconic product get rotten to make a powerful statement: The brand has achieved a milestone by removing artificial preservatives from the Whopper sandwich in most European countries and select markets in the United States*. Additionally, the brand has removed colors and flavors from artificial sources from all core sandwiches and sides in those European countries and across the United States.
From the bun to the freshly sliced onions, tomatoes and lettuce, and the 100% beef patty - the striking images show the real mold that grows on every piece of the iconic burger. The groundbreaking campaign makes a reference to the number of days that have passed since the sandwich was prepared, and a line reads, “The beauty of no artificial preservatives.”
This professional campaign titled 'The Moldy Whopper' was published in Sweden in February, 2020. It was created for the brand: Burger King, by ad agencies: David, INGO, and Publicis. This Integrated medium campaign is related to the Food industry and contains 5 media assets. It was submitted about 4 years ago.
