Dunkin' Donuts' Shark Week Discovery Campaign Wants Selfies with Donuts
Laura McQuarrie — August 5, 2014 — Lifestyle
With the highly-anticipated Shark Week Discovery program right around the corner, Dunkin' Donuts released a special edition 'Shark Bite' donut and a social campaign to go with it. The donut brand wants to see selfies uploaded with the #DDSharkWeek tag, featuring people taking a bite of their favorite breakfast item.
With people chomping down on donuts, this is a pretty clever way to see which ones are most loved, as well as a great way to get in on the fun of Shark Week and have it spread online. Participants have the chance to get their photos featured on a billboard in Times Square, as well as a Shark Week prize pack and gift cards to Dunkin' Donuts.
