Objective:

Design and demonstrate how thestrategic idea of, It’s not fastfood, it’s grilling, creates newpathways to talk about BurgerKing’s brand experience.

This isn’t fast food,it’s grillingBurger King breaks the routine of daily fast food grinds by fire-grilling its burgers notfrying them. This approach takes a bit more time but the small sacrifice is worth theenormous gain: Whopper, Kuro, onion rings, sweet potato fries, chicken wraps,Cinnabon, popcorn chicken, real fruit smoothies round out cookout/BBQ-style mealsunrivaled by everyday fast and casual food menus. Food makes Burger King ‘BurgerKing,’ it’s not about the closest or most convenient choice.

Food says a lot about a person, where they are heading in life, their taste and judgment.People who take bigger bites out of life eat at BK and sometimes they bite off slightlymore than they can chew but that’s okay, they learn as they go forward, alwaysadapting. Your cool uncle or nana takes you to Burger King - you learn early on thatthere is something very different about this place. What’s not to love?

Grilling is more than a style of cooking, it’s an approach to living life with your ‘mouthwide open,’ savoring, sampling, tasting the worlds of opportunities. It’s the vitality andvigor of a full-on hunger for ALL of life; new experiences and creative discovery ‘openup’ opportunities and those opportunities, if taken, pay of in aces for the rest of life.There is texture in grilling, its real, proof that mankind eats good.
