Overview
Since 1994, Wingstop has been the place “Where flavor gets its wings.” The chicken wing chain specializes in all things wings and boneless tenders, but it was looking for an innovative, digital-first way to promote itself online.
Wingstop wanted to rethink the concept of billboard marketing. Instead of advertising its mouthwatering boneless wings on the side of the highway, Wingstop partnered with Boundless Brand Consultant, Brad Blankenship with LOGOLINK, to promote its menu with wearable billboards.
Strategy & goals
Instead of promoting the Wingstop brand on old-fashioned billboards, Boundless worked with the brand to source 1,000 comfy white sweatshirts. We added the custom hashtag #ThisIsAnAdForWingstop to each sweatshirt before shipping them out to influencers and Wingstop’s loyal fans.
Results
Social media influencers and boneless wings fans alike took to social media to gush about their free brand swag.
Conclusion
Who says billboards are out of style? Wingstop fostered deeper relationships with boneless wings enthusiasts and influencers across the country thanks to its comfy wearable billboards that generated brand buzz. The campaign was so successful that Wingstop sent matching T-shirts to influencers and celebrities—including Lizzo!
