  • The program was beneficial in creating awareness for the NEW Chicken Sandwiches launch and driving LUNCH traffic.

  • However, the directly trackable incremental sales were minimal, not driving a significant positive return on investment. (Incremental Sales –COGs & Royalties) –Advertising Cost.

  • Positioned KFC head-to-head to take QSR share from McDonald’s who spent over $700K direct with the KC Chiefs team, whereas we invested a FRACTION of that.
