Re-brand/Re-launch Strategy of the Year 2020
Campaign: Pizza Loves
A re-brand was executed to introduce a fresh new feel to the brand and make it more fun and relevant to its key audience. Through innovation, news-worthy product launches and some exciting partnerships, the brand jumped up a position to become the second largest pizza delivery brand in the UK.
Juror’s thought’s: “Papa Johns used every tool available to them to relaunch their brand in an innovative, newsworthy and socially current and relevant way. Their no stone unturned approach saw key brand pillars and corporate identity revisited and modernised for a younger audience.
“New product launches and exciting brand partnerships ensured their product offerings differentiated from competitors and appealed to their new target audience, delivering strong sales uplift and share of market vis-à-vis other key category players.”
