One of the first days of our digital portfolio class, we were looking at examples of what digital campaigns are already out there. Little Ceasars' stood out to me the most. In summary, this campaign by ad agency Barton F. Graf 9000 consisted of entering your address on the website, upon which your house became "haunted" by little vector ghosts. Based on your address, you would be directed to the nearest Little Ceasar's location to pick up a pizza and "unhaunt" your house. The vector ghosts squeal "yay!" and disappear. That's it.
This digital idea is so random and has nothing to do with anything, but it works. Really well. It's clever and funny and I could see this idea prompting lots of people to go pick up a Hot-n-Ready from Little Ceasar's. It's just so interesting to me how sometimes an ad campaign can be focused around an idea that has so little to do with the product, yet it's clever and brilliant enough to work. Ideas like this go against almost everything we've been taught in advertising classes at UT. It just goes to show how subjective this industry really is.
