Leading up to the release of the limited-edition McSpicy x Frank's RedHot chicken burger, the collaborating companies gave fans the first chance to try "the hottest drop." Fans of fiery foods and chicken got their chance to try the limited-edition burger first through exclusive, early-access tasting boxes.
The campaign, brought to fruition by Leo Burnett in partnership with Red Consultancy, included social stunts, cryptic posters and in-restaurant radio releases. Fans eager for the first taste of the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot collab were invited to input the right password into a website to be the first to experience Frank’s RedHot Mayo added to the iconic McSpicy burger.
This drop culture-inspired campaign intentionally leveraged exclusivity to inspire fans to take on the role of sleuths and act fast.
