Our 2010 Domino’s Pizza 25th anniversary PR campaign overlapped with peak Christmas/New Year demand. We marked Domino’s Pizza 25th year in Japan by recruiting a part-time delivery person at the unprecedented hourly wage of $31,000 (2.5 million JPY). The lion’s share of the extremely limited budget was allocated to wages for the part-time position.

Though publicity insertions were limited to the Domino’s Pizza website and a single part-time job tabloid, the campaign generated a buzz that reverberated around the world. Initially fuelled by social networking sites, the campaign became a hot topic on-line, generating mass-media coverage and eventually capturing worldwide attention via a Reuter’s wire-service release.

Despite almost zero media expenditure, our campaign received massive exposure (equivalent ad value of approximately $5.9 million). It also generated overseas coverage unprecedented for a domestic campaign. And during the 2010 Christmas/New Year season, Domino's Pizza recorded record revenues!
