Our initiative centered on the launch of the Messi Kids Menu at Hard Rock Cafe, leveraging Lionel Messi's star power and our brand's appeal to achieve specific objectives. We aimed to raise awareness of the new menu among our target audience and sustain engagement, particularly among parents. To accomplish this, we collaborated with young influencers to create captivating content and hosted an exclusive event at Hard Rock Stadium, where guests had the opportunity to meet Messi in person. This event not only generated buzz, but also gave them a memorable experience, reinforcing our brand's allure.
We also kept in mind the growing popularity of soccer, particularly with Messi's entry in Miami, to amplify our campaign's impact. By aligning with this cultural trend, we aimed to solidify Hard Rock Cafe as the premier destination for families seeking quality dining experiences.
In summary, our goals for the Messi Kids Menu Campaign were multifaceted: to raise awareness, sustain engagement, and capitalize on the cultural zeitgeist surrounding soccer and Messi's presence in Miami.
Uniqueness of the Work
The Messi Kids Menu Campaign stands out because of its innovative integration of celebrity influence, interactive content, and family engagement, all while capitalizing on a significant local moment. In curating the campaign’s menu, we sought to add a personal touch that would resonate on an emotional level. The "Messi Golden Chicken Sandwich" wasn’t just a product; it was a narrative, drawing inspiration from the "Messi Chicken Sandwich," and echoing Messi's mother’s Milanesa chicken recipe. This homage to childhood favorites created an authentic connection, infusing the campaign with a sense of nostalgia. This sentimentality elevates the campaign, linking Messi's footballing legacy to the simplicity and warmth of family meals, making him even more relatable and relevant to our brand offering.
