Execution
Television included various units; 15's supported promotions, 30's and 60's established brand equities, 5-30 minute "Dr. Angus" infomercials added depth in engaging ways. Programme integration (Simple Life, Arrested Development etc.) and even programme creation ("Chicken Fight") helped overcome the target’s avoidance of advertising. Magazines delivered "The King’s" crown inserts and ersatz fashion editorial featuring "Ugoff", the alleged designer of the BK salad. Online features included the "Subservient Chicken" a "Chicken Fight" game, and "Dr. Angus" interventions.
Outcome
