Happiness-Prioritizing QSR Campaigns

Dave & Buster's Launches the 'Adult Unlearn' Summer Campaign

— May 31, 2023 — Marketing
Dave & Buster's Entertainment Inc. has launched a new marketing campaign that hopes to encourage adult consumers to break out of societal expectations and prioritize what makes them happy. By completing a purchase of $20 or higher with a Power Card, customers receive five free games as a temporary introduction to "The D&B Method."

The new campaign has ushered in a replacement for the restaurant's former tagline, "Ding, Ding, Ding!" which has been swapped to "You Know You Want To." The company has also introduced James Flag, a fictional spokesperson, to promote the new campaign on television.

The ads will appear on CTV, YouTube, Twitch, Roku, Meta, TikTok, and Search, among other platforms. Throughout the summer, the campaign will continue to receive more updates to incentivize adults to prioritize happiness.
