The 'Goals to bb.q Chicken, Wings to Korea' contest is an ambitious experiential marketing campaign, launched by bb.q Chicken Canada. The initiative is expected to deepen consumer engagement with Korean fried chicken culture while rewarding brand loyalty.
The 'Goals to bb.q Chicken, Wings to Korea' contest offers four Canadian winners, plus guests, an all-expenses-paid trip to Seoul. The adventurous experience will blend culinary tourism with sports entertainment through VIP access to an FC Barcelona match — a strategic tie-in given bb.q Chicken's sponsorship of the event. Other highlights of the prize are a tour of BBQ Chicken University (the brand's training hub) and curated experiences that position K-chicken as a gateway to broader Korean traditions.
bb.q Chicken Canada's promotion will run for three weeks — from June 16 until July 6 — and will require only a purchase at participating locations for entry.
