With the fast food market increasingly becoming more competitive on a daily basis, coming out with new and inventive advertisements is key, and these humorous fast food campaigns are some great examples of how companies are using clever marketing strategies.
With so many restaurants and fast food chains serving up similar dining options, companies have to market more than just the food they sell in order to draw in new customers. By using these humorous marketing campaigns, fast food retailers are able to capture people's attention, subsequently making a bold visual impression that customers will most likely remember later on.
From burger ads featuring comical hands-free eating utensils to commercials that showcase Star Was villains eating at the restaurant, these humorous fast food campaigns will certainly make a lasting impression on viewers.
