🎯 The problem

Burger King needed to launch the new β€œQuattro Cheese” sandwich with young Saudi audiences, in a feed where food ads get skipped in under two seconds.

πŸ’‘ The idea

Instead of another product ad, we staged a comedic rap battle between β€œChicken” and β€œBeef” characters. Humor and character storytelling carried the product, so the sandwich became the punchline everyone remembered, not an ad they skipped.

🎬 The execution

Scripted, shot, and edited as a fast-paced short-form video with platform-native pacing and Khaleeji humor. Published across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, with the Quattro Cheese integrated at the peak of the joke.

WHY IT WORKED πŸ§ͺ

The anatomy of the joke

01
A side to pick, not an ad to watch
Chicken versus beef gave people an argument to join, not an ad to sit through. That argument did the distribution: 21.7K interactions on a single video is what happens when every viewer has a team to defend.
02
The product is the punchline
The Quattro Cheese enters at the exact peak of the battle, so remembering the joke means remembering the sandwich. That is brand recall without a single hard-sell second, in front of an audience that was 98% new to the page.
03
Built native, paced native
A 10.6-second average watch tells the algorithm to keep pushing, and it did: 332 days of combined watch time from one launch video, with 97.8% of it inside Saudi Arabia, exactly where the campaign was aimed.
πŸ’‘ KEY TAKEAWAY
Humor and character storytelling create stronger brand recall than direct product promotion.
