EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Pizza Hut started as Dan and Frank Carney’s idea to provide the students and surrounding community of Kansas State University with convenient, delicious, pizza.

It is now a member of the largest restaurant company, Yum! Brands, with thousands of franchises all over the world. Beyond being the market leader in the fast casual restaurant industry, every aspect of Pizza Hut is built around a passionate devotion to providing customers with what they want, so they can move forward in life with the compliment of pizza. The signature red roof incites feelings of comfort, excitement, or even reminiscence. For Pizza Hut consumers, it is a means of release, a known answer to an unknown problem, a regular indulgence they can trust again and again.

Despite Pizza Hut being the largest pizza company in the world, it’s lack of intuitive, well“ I WANT FROM MY APP WHAT integrated online and mobile tools has compromised EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS FROM its position as first in digital ordering. Pizza Hut has the advantage of providing quality products, great, CUSTOMER SERVICE. FAST, fast service, and thousands of convenient locations.

Our comprehensive research, insightful strategy, and powerful creative meets the campaign objectives. Our plan will position Pizza Hut as the top choice for digital ordering, provide the best digital ordering experience in the fast casual category, and have 75% of all orders be digital by the end of 2015.

THE PROBLEM First, we attempted to understand the problem Pizza Hut currently faces. In order to overcome the challenge of increasing the share of pizza orders completed digitally, we conducted research to find the main problem and develop our campaign research question.

After this primary research, we discovered that the main problem inhibiting digital ordering for Pizza Hut is that the digital tools are not user friendly and are not integrated with other media. Additionally, there has been a lack of promotional efforts to push consumers to order on the app, mobile site, and website. Once we discovered the main problem, we formulated a two-fold research question to guide our methods for discovering the best campaign strategy.

How can we make the digital tools and ordering process what the target wants, and what is the best way to inform and persuade them about the changes?

3

WAS IT BRAND PERCEPTION?

WAS IT PROMOTION?

Through primary research, we found that members of the target mostly have a positive impression of the Pizza Hut brand and the products. When asked in a survey what is the first thing that comes to mind about Pizza Hut is, most people mentioned delicious and inexpensive options with fast delivery. Overall, the target’s brand perception of Pizza Hut is positive and is not negatively affecting digital ordering.

Pizza Hut has used some promotional efforts to inform the public about ordering online, but the bulk of their advertising focuses on the product and menu. This season, Pizza Hut’s mobile promotions have been about discounts without any incentive or prompt to download the app besides a link to the mobile site.

However, Pizza Hut needs to promote their digital tools in order to increase their online and mobile orders. There have been almost no promotional efforts to incite app downloads among customers, such as in-app advertising, incentive-based download programs, and content on app review sites.

“I CAN GET GOOD FOOD AT A GOOD VALUE.” “IT’S DELICIOUS AND INEXPENSIVE PIZZA.” “WE ALWAYS GOT PIZZA HUT AS KIDS AND IT’S ALWAYS BEEN GOOD.” “I LOVE THE AMAZING WINGS AND FAST DELIVERY.”

“I DON’T ACTIVELY SEARCH OUT APPS. IF I SEE ONE THAT LOOKS COOL ON TV OR FROM A WEBSITE, I’D DOWNLOAD IT THOUGH.”

WAS IT THE QUALITY OF THE ORDERING TOOLS AND PROCESS? This issue seems to be the largest problem preventing the number of Pizza Hut’s mobile orders from being higher. The problem is two fold: the digital tools are not intuitive or user-friendly, and they are not integrated with each other or customer’s other digital activities and payment preferences. According to our survey results, the factor that is most likely to persuade someone to download an app is its intuitive usability. However, Pizza Hut’s current app, mobile site, and website aren’t easy to use, clear, or straightforward.

“I TRIED ENTERING A CERTAIN ADDRESS ON MY CAMPUS AND THE LOCATION WASN’T RECOGNIZED. IN THE END I HAD TO CALL”

RESEARCH METHODS Having identified the key challenge facing Pizza Hut, a research process was designed to find solutions. This process began with secondary research about the brand, mobile ordering, and consumer base. With this understanding, the target was identified and primary research was conducted to form a hypothesis. This hypothesis was then tested using a variety of methods to prove that it will effectively increase mobile ordering.

The information gathered about the ordering process during this research gave a clear direction as to where Pizza Hut needs to take their application and online ordering systems. The research indicates Pizza Hut needs to create a more simple to use application that is personalized to each individual consumer. The consumer needs to feel that deciding what to order is the hardest part of the ordering process. The application and online ordering system need to be personalized, making the consumer feel appreciated and connected with the company.

TARGET RESEARCH From our primary and secondary research methods, we discovered that the ideal target for this campaign encompasses a wide variety of individuals. Based on findings from market research tools, online sources, surveys, and focus groups, we found commonalities and connections among an ideal target for this campaign that allowed us to categorize them in two overall groups. The ages of these individuals range from 18-49 due to the universality of smartphone usage and pizza consumption.

The segments of our target are defined by lifestyles, opinions, interests, and obligations because no matter what age, these consumers have a need for a streamlined digital way to order their favorite food.

SELF-RELIANT SOCIALIZERS These active adults are confident, connected, and open to change. Self-reliant socializers lead busy lifestyles and balance socializing, entertainment, schoolwork, and work schedules. They’re constantly on the run and use technology to stay connected and make their hectic lives easier. They are tech-savvy and frequent users of apps on their smartphones.

With increased exposure to digital content, they are more likely to notice online marketing through mobile and online ads, social media, and digital promotions.

They frequently choose fast, convenient food that fits their limited budgets. Fast casual restaurants are growing among millennials not just because of their convenience, but because they have a strong digital presence and a willingness to invest in the quality of the ingredients.

REALIZATION

THE SIGNIFICANCE Having identified our target, we set out to answer our research questions:

HOW CAN WE MAKE THE DIGITAL TOOLS AND ORDERING PROCESS WHAT THE TARGET WANTS, AND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO INFORM AND PERSUADE THEM ABOUT THE CHANGES? Both segments are most likely to be in casual settings and watching movies when they choose to order pizza. Members of the Dynamic Family segment are more likely to be with their families when they order, while Self-Reliant Socializers choose to eat with friends. For the target, pizza is viewed as an opportunity to relax.

Members of our target are strong users of social media, with facebook most popular among the older segment and a wider variety of platforms, including Instagram and Snapchat, being used by the younger members of the target.

The targets values the opportunity to engage with their friends and express their personal style.

The segments also have shared reasons for downloading mobile applications to their devices.

They want applications that are easy to use with an intuitive interface. Self-Reliant Socializers and Dynamic Families live busy lives, and like their mobile applications to enable them to live their lives efficiently.

When it comes to the mobile ordering of pizza, the target wants the same things they want from all of their mobile applications: intuitive user interfaces. The applications they are likely to use are those that are easy and streamlined.

Further, these potential consumers are strongly discerning, and value authenticity and personality.

Reaching out to the target means making our message one that will resonate personally, as out target heavily uses social media and relies on reccomendations of friends.

After reviewing our initial focus groups and survey results, we discovered that our target audience prefers a digital ordering system that is easy to use, personalized, and streamlined.

Our research led us to conclude that it is important to both segments to have the pizza ordering experience not interrupt their ongoing activities. Whether that activity is watching movies, taking kids back and forth to sport practices, or simply being too busy to cook; our segments often order pizza on a whim. They want the ordering process to be quick, easy, and most importantly, personal.

Given this information, we were led to the realization that Pizza Hut consumers would embrace a digital ordering app that seamlessly brings together three important aspects: ease of use, convenience, and a genuine personability that reflects the relationship Pizza Hut proudly holds with their loyal consumers.

HYPOTHESIS FOR OUR SOLUTION Members of our target are comfortable with the use of digital technology and mobile applications.

With an authentic message and fun incentives, this target can be convinced to order once through the digital tools. Our improvements aimed at streamlining this process will ensure that these customers order digitally again and again. If we improve the digital tools and

inform the target about them with our campaign, then Pizza Hut will be positioned as the top choice for customers who order pizza digitally, provide the greatest digital ordering experience in the category, and reach the target of 75 percent of all orders done online/mobile by the end of 2015.

6

SHOUDN’T DECIDING WHAT YOU WANT BE THE HARDEST PART OF ORDERING? The central goal of our campaign is to improve the digital ordering tools and process by seamlessly combining the lifestyles of consumers and the technology that will drive digital orders. Informing our target of these improvements will position Pizza Hut as the number one digital ordering system in the minds of consumers.

Ordering Pizza Hut will become second nature due to the integration of the website, mobile platforms, and other media and technology, giving customers an interface that will not interrupt how they live, but enhance it. The intuitive technology identifies unique preferences and habits which enables Pizza Hut to provide more effective deals and promotions. Ordering should never be an inconvenience, so we provide a solution to allow people to continue with their day enjoying everyone’s favorite food: pizza. We created an effortless ordering process that allows the consumer to live life uninterrupted.

The consumers are not afraid to go after what they want, and love life with all of its indulgences. For consumers, customization and personalization have become second nature. They deserve tools to match not only their needs, but their creativity, talent, and wit. Pizza Hut lovers’ daily routines are as unique as the flavors of now, and our intent is to give them a user experience they will love so much that they’ll return to it time and time again.

IT’S YOURS

WHY IT WILL WORK The campaign will be effective because it addresses the points as exemplified in the next 16 pages. The first step of our campaign is improving the website, mobile site, and app to fit what consumers need and want from the biggest pizza company in the world. The next step is creating a digital experience that not only connects the rest of the campaign but also extends into the customers’ personal digital experiences. They choose to make their experience more personalized, stress-free, and fast every time. The campaign will also include philanthropy, partnerships, sponsorships, and events that are meaningful, engaging, motivating, as well as digitally integrated. To top it all off, a carefully selected media plan will inform consumers of the new and improved Pizza Hut experience, and will work together with word of mouth and social media to integrate customers as far into the new Pizza Hut digital ordering experience as they wish to go.

TARGET BENEFITS Providing a fast, easy pizza ordering experience Integrating what they need from Pizza Hut with technology they already use multiple times a day Making it easy to find and use discounts and be rewarded for brand loyalty Enjoying their favorite meal along with chances to win during exciting events through sports, concerts, charity, college campuses, etc.

Giving them an easy choice for their next fast-casual dining experience

BRAND BENEFITS Improving brand image as an up-todate company that works to make every customer interaction with Pizza Hut great, including digital ones Keeping loyal consumers happy by giving them what they want Reaching more types of consumers that might have possibly not considered Pizza Hut previously Positioning Pizza Hut as the top choice for customers who order pizza digitally Having greatest digital ordering experience in the category Reaching the target of 75 percent of all orders done online/mobile by the end of 2015

THE BIG IDEA Through research into technology and social media trends, we observed that the desire to be able to personalize and have a sense of ownership is more widespread than ever, and is expanding into the food world as well.

After observing the reactions to other successful food and beverage campaigns, we have noticed that consumers respond to not only to the ability to

customize what they want, but also having ownership and being a participant in their favorite brands.

From discussing with consumers what they like about pizza, we realized that pizza is straightforward, and the experience of ordering it should be as well. Eating pizza is not a stressful or complicated event, and ordering it should be as easy

and intuitive as enjoying your favorite meal.

A NEW DIGITAL EXPERIENCE When breaking down the User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) of the updated digital platforms, we knew the interfaces not only needed to be seamless, intuitive and secure, but also don’t need a fully optimized Omni-channel experience. By re-aligning all the various facets of Pizza Hut into one unified and improved interface, it will allow consumers to ease into the newly digital brand. The UI and UX of the website and mobile application along with emails, in store details, promotions and other aspects will all flow together a seamless intuitive and visual experience.

The creation of our new digital tools is the solution to the first part of our campaign hypothesis

USER INTERFACE

USER EXPERIENCE

The UI focuses on the optimal functionality.

With the newly designed website and mobile application we strove to create simplified platforms inspired by human nature. Our target leads busy lives, so we understand that the ordering process should be a comfortable, quick process seamlessly integrated within their lives, because shouldn’t deciding what you want be the

While the new UI Design acts as the nuts and bolts, the UX is the form that follows the function. An aesthetically pleasing digital experience leads reuse of the application.

Knowing this, we decided to completely strip down the previous design components to create a simple platform that will carry out over the web, application, emails, in-store experiences, and much more. We’ve created an experience that

is beautful yet easy, down to the finest details.

avoid intimidating new users

3. Omni-channel experience to

4. Sticky navigation to allow ease

5. Can view current order anytime

with an active sidebar

THE RE-DESIGN Our objective was to create an app that was equally as pleasing to the eye as it was to use. No matter where you are in the ordering process, everything is in front of you and easily accessible to avoid any sense of being lost or backtracking.

With our redesign we wanted to make sure that the digital ordering process was intuitive and easy for each segment.

Although they all enjoy pizza, their motivation and ordering habits all differ. For the creatures of habit we have the Favorites menu, where one can order their go-to meal with the click of a button. We have the classic Pizza Hut menu to slide through as well for anyone who wants to browse for their next meal. For the social eaters and families we have the Smart Deals. As the user continues to order from the app, Smart Deals will adapt to recognise meals previously ordered and customize deals for each individual user. The It’s Your Rewards program awards points to customers every time they make a transaction, a referral, or create an account. For every 10 points a customer earns , s/he will receive $5 to be applied to his/her account balance.

IT’S YOURS THE APP What has always been great about pizza was its effortlessness and the fact that almost everyone enjoys it.

With this in mind, we wanted to apply the best qualities of the pizza experience into the newly designed personal account experience.

With the new interface we put the users and their needs first. A sleek new design is just the foundation. The new Pizza Hut digital tools offer a completely personal and customizable account that will only grow more personal as the user continues ordering from it. With newly added features such as rewads and promotion programs, split pay, and delivery tracking, the app is sure to enhance the overall Pizza Hut experience.

THE PERSONAL ACCOUNT AND ALL THE BENEFITS ARE STREAMLINED AMONG ALL OF THE DIGITAL PLATFORMS.

OTHER DIGITAL IMPLEMENTATIONS SMART WATCHES

APPLE I-BEACON TECHNOLOGY

For the technology trend-setters in our segment, there will be a smart watch Pizza Hut app available on Apple Watches and Android-capable smart watches that connects to the smart phone app. It will allow consumers to access his or her digital account inbox feature, including order tracking notifications. The Apple Watch will also be enabled to receive iBeacon notifications from nearby Pizza Hut restaurants. If successful, we suggest that a fully capable app is developed for smart watches in 2016.

RESTAURANT When customers call their local Pizza Hut to place an order, employees will encourage them to download the app for a faster experience, specialty discounts and the opportunity to participate in the rewards program. Customers can open their app and redeem their rewards points in a restaurant by scanning a barcode on the screen. Pizza Hut Express restaurants will have large touch-screens for ordering.

Customers can create an account, pay or even place an order at the digital device. This will help convert dine-in customers to the new digital platform.

iBeacon technology will be integrated into the Pizza Hut iPhone and iPad apps since it is already built into Apple devices with newer mobile operating systems. The beacon is a small, low-cost piece of hardware that uses low-energy Bluetooth connections to transmit messages or prompts directly to mobile devices. The digital beacons themselves will be placed within the 25 busiest Pizza Hut Express locations as a test run.

They’ll be used to provide customers with product information, flash sales or deals, and to speed up the checkout process with a completely contactless payments system. This technology is fairly new and customers have to turn on Bluetooth, accept location services, and opt-in to receive iBeacon notifications.

Therefore, we only suggest expanding beacon technology to more Pizza Hut Restaurants if this initial test run is successful.

It uses data-optimized, targeted television ads and tracks viewing patterns. AT&T AdWorks has the capability to create customized media schedules eliminating waste.

If the advertising efforts prove successful, we suggest Pizza Hut continue advertising with this growing technology beyond the end of this campaign.

CAMPAIGN LAUNCH Our improvements of Pizza Hut’s digital ordering tools will only be effective if there is widespread awareness among the consumers.

Therefore, we will use an assortment of methods that attract and involve our target through interactive qualities.

During the first five days of July, there will be three efforts to build hype for the launch events. On July 1, large, interactive digital billboards will appear in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, Chicago and Manhattan.

The billboard will be covered with red cloth and a teaser sign saying, “What will you see?” along with #ItsYours and the Pizza Hut logo. Curiosity and anticipation will build as consumers wait for Pizza Hut’s big reveal.

They will have a white screen with red font that will slowly fade in and out, saying “Find out”, “What’s coming”, “July 6”, “PizzaHut.com” then end with “#ItsYours” on the screen. Up-beat music will play in the background, getting louder as the ad progresses.

Third, Pizza Hut will be posting mysterious messages on social media with photos of the covered billboards, the date of the app and site launch, and curiosity-inciting messages auch as, “What’s coming next?”

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN EFFORTS Major launch efforts will begin Monday, July 6. First, the newly designed Pizza Hut website will launch including an incentive to create a digital account. Smartphone and tablet apps will be available to download as well.

A television spot will start running July 6 that communicates the campaign message, directs consumers to the new Pizza Hut digital tools, and introduces the hash tag, #ItsYours. It will directly answer the question of what was coming from the teaser ads.

SnapChat will have a live story running on July 6 beginning with fun content introducing the new app and website experience, followed by images and videos submitted by users promoting launch events.

There will also be a referral discount program for app users. It involves a customer sending a referral text message from their Pizza Hut app to a friend. If he or she downloads the app, they both get a unique promo-code for half off an order on the app.

Pizza Hut will be posting on social media promoting the app, playing up launch promotions, and responding to consumers. In a select few situations, Pizza Hut will surprise and delight customers in situations that would increase social media attention.

The interactive digital boards will be unveiled on July 6 in major markets. They will be set up in areas with heavy foot traffic, and room to stop and observe the boards. The screen will be flashing images of an outline of a person along with copy prompting viewers to stand on an activation square.

When the person approaches the billboard they will appear in simulated, entertaining experiences with pizza. Copy reading, “Getting pizza can always be this easy if you download our app� will appear over the image. The Pizza Hut brand and download instructions will follow, along with a teaser for Track the Truck.

The billboards will generate interest and act as a teaser for later promotional events through personal interactions as well as the immeasurable bonus impressions through residual media.

On Friday July 17, Jimmy Fallon will talk up the new Pizza Hut app then engage one of his guests with it. For example, a challenge to see who can order fastest. Jimmy Fallon has a large social media following and is experienced in making product promotions feel like entertainment, and his Friday night shows have the highest ratings.

CAMPAIGN LAUNCH CONTINUED The final launch effort will be the Track the Truck event. Food trucks will set out nationally to major metropolitan areas and midmarket cities as a hype event to promote campaign awareness and app downloads.The truck will have #TracktheTruck and #ItsYours wrapped on it to encourage social media posts.

A large touch screen will be on the side of the truck where consumers can use to create a digital account, explore the menu, or take and look at #TrackTheTruck selfies. The consumers can tweet selfies of themselves and/or the food truck with #TrackTheTruck and be featured on the photo-stream featured the app and website. When consumers download the app on his or her phone, they get a number sent to their account inbox that will be called when their order is ready at the truck window.

Screen-shots of the photo-stream, which contains photos of consumers that hash-tagged #PizzaHut, #ItsYours, or #TrackTheTruck, will be featured online and on pizza boxes. Also, Pizza Hut will tweet back with a free meal voucher at a few key consumers that have a positive, engaging tweet and that have a strong social following.

#TRACKTHETRUCK

Weeks of Pizza Hut social media teaser posts about the upcoming Track the Truck event will culminate on the weekend of July 18 and 19 by increasing revealing clues and informing consumers with app exclusive notifications.

Consumers in an area with an approaching Track the Truck, will receive location-based clues to where the pizza food trucks will be traveling.

Each day before a truck gets to a city and on the day of, consumers will recieve clues about where the truck will be in their app inbox. Pizza Hut will post engaging social media messages related to each city as well. Consumers with a Pizza Hut digital account will either get a free pizza slice or $1 small

Social media influencers will be paid to attend promotional events in their local areas and share their experiences through their social media. For example, Laura Wiertzema, owner of the Ascot Friday social media brand or Erica Domesek, owner of the P.S. I Made This social brand would be great choices to invite.

The combination of these elements will increase application downloads and brand engagement. By extending the launch over an entire month, we plan to Move consumers to use Pizza Hut’s digital tools Convince them to revisit until it becomes comfortable Ultimately develop a habit of digitally ordering Pizza Hutt when in need of a convenient meal They all have an element of the “It’s Yours” message by bringing the brand to the customers, interacting with them directly on social media, and giving them new and improved ordering tools with added incentives.

NFL

PARTNERSHIPS

NBA

Pizza Hut’s partnership with the NFL will appeal to a large remainder of the sport fans within the target, which strongly correlate with pizza consumers. The combined publicity from the in-person events at games, TV coverage, and social media conversations makes an NFL partnership a valuable asset to Pizza Hut. Sponsored halftime events at NFL games in which fans compete in activities to win a free slice of pizza for everyone in their seating section The announcer will promote the improved Pizza Hut digital experience and encourage fans to create an account and order digitally for a free order of wings with their next purchase using the code “NFL15”

Pizza Hut’s NBA partnership will involve sports fans on a national scale, and utilize the hype generated by the approach of the NBA season’s opening day. This will provide a boost mid-campaign that will drive even more consumers to create digital accounts if they haven’t already, as well as increase digital orders.

Customers who order on the Pizza Hut website, mobile site, or app on NBA opening day can choose to enter into a drawing to win tickets to watch their favorite team play This promotion will be communicated by a TV spot and social media. These will highlight the ability to order pizza from home using the app without missing the game as well

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY Our proposed corporate philanthropic donations and charity events enhance the established programs through personal connections to charitable giving. Pizza Hut donates to a variety of valuable causes. However, our additions help put the freedom of choice into the hands of cause-driven Pizza Hut customers, further fostering personal connections.

Our promotions are designed to engage with the Self-Reliant Socializers and Dynamic Families on a deeper level that goes beyond Pizza Hut’s products and customer services.

The expansion of Pizza Hut’s philanthropic portfolio will provide even more opportunities for consumers to connect and participate with the new and improved Pizza Hut brand.

BOOK IT! The Book It! program has been helping develop reading skills among children since 1984, when the Pizza Hut president was inspired to make education a top priority within Pizza Hut’s corporate responsibility. Our campaign will shed renewed light on the Book It program.

In October, Book It! will provide elementary schools with booklets for children to write their own stories. Pizza Hut will surprise students at assemblies with pizza and published, hardbound versions of the books they created, giving the children a sense of ownership and accomplishment, as well as furthering the It’s Yours brand message Pizza Hut will film the kids’ responses about the importance of reading, and share them online

Large-scale book donation drive will also occur in October. Upon donation, customers will receive a link to a digital invitation for an outdoor library event and a coupon for a free personal pizza, redeemable specifically at the outdoor libraries using the app.

The books will be gathered, organized and displayed in a large outdoor library.

Additionally, stickers and posters will be placed around the city of choice

MAKE IT YOUR CAUSE As a new addition to Pizza Hut’s corporate responsibility portfolio, customers will have an opportunity to make a personalized donation to a cause that means something to them, just by ordering their favorite food.

For one month, beginning Aug. 19 on World Humanitarian Day, 10 percent of each digital order will be donated to a cause that the customer selects from a non-profit database. The database includes all verified non-profit groups and highlights those near the customer’s location Pizza Hut traditionally donates to organizations that support hunger relief, youth, arts and social services. However personal connections are the key drivers of charitable giving. The option to choose aligns with the sense of personalization and ownership indicative of the It’s Yours campaign messaging Pizza Hut will also gain publicity as non-profits individually encourage their audiences to buy Pizza Hut products to boost donations to their cause

PROMOTIONAL EVENTS

ESPN COLLEGE GAME DAY Pizza Hut will excite and support fans waiting in line the night before ESPN’s College Gameday events, as well as encourage digital participation and social media conversations about Pizza Hut. Thursday before the game weekend, Pizza Hut food trucks will arrive in the tailgate area bearing #ItsYours to build hype Using geo-location technology, app users near campus will be alerted through push notifications and their account inbox feature prior to the event The parties will have the following events: Blake Shelton and Maroon Five will perform at Game Day pre-parties on the East and West Coast.

Our campaign’s promotional mix helps position Pizza Hut as the top choice for consumers who order pizza digitally. The promotions arrange opportunities for the consumer to test the updated ordering methods, start social conversations, and develop a renewed brand loyalty. The promotions offer platforms for consumers who are new to online ordering to become comfortable and encourage repeat usage through incentivization of the consumer’s established habits.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS PIZZA ROULETTE This promotion during the months of November and December will act as an introduction into the holiday season and is based on the fact that the most pizza is ordered the day before Thanksgiving every year.

Customers who order digitally will have a one-in-five chance getting their pizza for free if they can choose to participate in the Pizza Roulette promotion.

Messages will be sent with the free pizza like, “No one should have to choose cooking over friends and family,” or “In the holiday spirit, here is a pizza on us to show our gratitude.”

To build hype before the biggest pizza-ordering day of the year, a 30-second spot will air on NBC during the NFL game on Nov 22, the last Sunday Night Football game before Thanksgiving Pizza Hut will invite customers to send in their #ThanksgivingThrowbacks throughout November and #HolidayThrowbacks in December Pizza Hut will continue with their surprise and delight strategy for social media by tweeting back at select consumers that participate with promotional codes

GUERILLA MARKETING Pizza Hut’s guerilla marketing strategy will support the idea that Pizza Hut wants to bring what consumers want to them.

Employees will “drop” between five to a few dozen pizzas in extremely busy places like a campus commons, a mall food court, a public square, subway or train stops, etc.

The pizza will be surrounded by “free pizza” signage that also encourages customers to create pizza hut digital accounts and download the app The pizza boxes will have stickers with #ItsYours, I *heart* pizza, Pizza Squad, etc. If a consumer finds a Pizza Hut sticker and tweets or posts a photo of it with #ItsYours, Pizza Hut may tweet back a promotional code.

TWITTER

INSTAGRAM

As the second largest social media platform at 6.5 million active users and where a reported 80 percent of Twitter active users are on mobile, Twitter is another essential social platform we will use to achieve our end goal. As with Facebook, we intend to use Twitter to promote the events and to drive usage to online platforms via our creative approach and media buying. However, Twitter differs from Facebook in that it’s hashtags are overwhelmingly popular in our target and that hastags increase average engagement by 12.6 percent, we know that in striving to create a buzz about our #ItsYours and other hashtags, Twitter is undoubtedly the medium to achieve this goal and to further bolster our online presence in our media campaign

Though not as large as Facebook and Twitter, Instagram will serve a very important function for the It’s Yours campaign. Many of our promotions are picture-based, such as #TracktheTruck and the ESPN Gameday events on college campuses, and as tied into Twitter and Facebook as Instagram is, it is important for Pizza Hut to target this media. Posts on Instagram, which our research has shown to be another media our target frequents, have a much higher engagement rate than posts on Facebook or Twitter both, at an industry high 4.21 percent engagement rate per follower.

FACEBOOK With 1.31 billion active users worldwide and 6.8 million mobile users worldwide, Facebook will be one of the primary media we use in our media buy. Since much of our segments are engaged in the site everyday, we intend to use Facebook to promote both our philanthropic and promotional goals. We will also use Facebook to create a conversation about events at the given time. In this way, we can engage our audience in the media they most often use in a way they are familiar with.

SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS Given the immense percentage of our target that is actively engaged in social media, and that as 74 percent of online adults use social networking sites, there was no question about using social media as an integral portion of the Its Yours campaign. This earned media is now an fundamental part of any digital campaign. Each promotion on social media encourages the consumer to use digital ordering, and with the new user interface, easy ordering process and convenient payment options, a user who tries digital ordering once will continue to use it.

SPONSORED POSTS Pizza Hut already utilizes email and direct mail. We decided to take advantage of how successful email and direct mail is for consumers of pizza. Direct mail will be coupons, but the coupons can only be used to order digitally. This will direct the the customers to online and increase online ordering. Emails will consist of coupons, giveaways and contests.

When customers create a digital account, they can choose the option to receive offers and information through email.

This investment will convert undecided consumers searching online to the Pizza Hut digital platforms.

BUZZFEED This popular site provides the most shareable news, entertainment, video and is redefining online advertising with its social, content-driven publishing technology.

HULU The 30 second spot will run on Hulu as well to capture more digitally-inclined consumers, and those that don’t have access to regular television programming.

The launch of our campaign will air a 30 second TV spot. The commercial emphasizes that it is not about the pizza, but the experiences you have while eating pizza. Multiple clips will be shown to represent our entire target. Our commercial enforces our campaign that It’s Yours and ordering should be too by displaying multiple situations when consumers order pizza. The commercial will be featured throughout significant sporting events on national broadcast stations (Fox, CBS, NBC Sports, NBC, USA Network, TBS, TNT and ESPN) along with local stations.

ONLINE RADIO

YOUTUBE The spot will also run as pre-roll on YouTube. Because 15-second spots can’t be skipped on YouTube, our preroll will be a shortened version of our TV spot.

The online radio will mention the new app and website interface through Spotify and Pandora. The radio ad will be similar to the voiceover in the commercial, relating to the promotions at the time.

Through out the campaign online radio will promote the new inner workings of Pizza Hut Digital platforms and encourage listeners to download the app and make an account. We will also have sponsorship ads on AM Radio.

Since ESPN college game day is a major promotion in our campaign we wanted to insure coverage from every medium. Through the payment to ESPN to sponsor certain college game days, radio sportscasters will mention “Sponsored by Pizza Hut” and promotion materials about ordering digitally throughout their broadcast. Television sportscasters who are not only aired on television but radio will also be included.

MEDIA PLAN The intent of our media plan is to drive our target to order through Pizza Huts digital ordering tools.

We have scheduled our television ads to focus on the social and human elements of pizza and the events we are promoting during our campaign, rather than the discounts so common in the market. Our comprehensive use of social media, both in advertising and in promotions during our events, will drive our consumer to the app, where they will find a user experience that is simple, thorough, and enjoyable. We have developed this media schedule to be complementary to both our target and to our campaign by social media and online advertising during our events, and to complement these with the traditional forms of advertising native to Pizza Hut.

Our media mix is the solution to the second part of our hypothesis, how to best inform our consumers.

23

THE PLAN Our combined use of traditional and digital media placements during the first part of the campaign is indented to start the conversation about ‘It’s Yours.’ Our campaign pre-launch will run from July 1st through the 6th, and will utilize outdoor, social, and traditional media in order to grab the attention of our target. Then, our launch will send a message our audience will care about in the mediums that they use daily, all focusing on using our redesigned

THE SCHEDULE

digital tools. In partnering with ESPN, NFL, and NBA events late in the year, along with television networks Pizza Hut has advertised on in the past, we believe that Pizza Hut’s strength in television viewing will be stronger than ever, particularly to our intended target. This, coupled with our strong use of social media during our campaign, will help us to achieve the re-branding we will achieve by the end of our campaign.

TOTAL BUDGET $161,535,563.42

Our budget is the result of research we conducted aimed at driving our audience into digital ordering. We took Pizza Huts advertising budget from last year into consideration, and decided on an increase for this six month campaign. Our media choices focus on generating a large increase in impressions and conversions to the digital ordering platform, making the budgeted amount well-justified.

Our combined use of social media, digital advertising, traditional television, and promotional events will work in tandem to reach our target during this campaign. The largest percentage of our budget was spent in television due the the high cost of television advertising.

A larger focus was also placed on advertising during sporting events, with an increase during the end of the year when both college and professional football playoffs are taking place. Our proposed purchases will guarantee that Pizza Hut will have a very strong presence on our audiences favorite mediums.

EVALUATION With 1.64 billion net impressions, we predict over 85 million customers will create a digital account. These results equate to an ROI of over 100% during the campaign period. Added value will come from the positive, personalized experience people have with Pizza Hut’s digital experience and the campaign efforts. We will conduct quarterly focus groups and surveys with members of the target to determine whether Pizza Hut’s position in the fast-casual dining market, placement as the top digital ordering choice, and the number of digital orders are all increasing as our campaign progresses.

We ran evaluation focus groups that informed us of consumers’ reactions to the campaign. The response was very good overall, and we made changes to accommodate the few suggestions made by participants.

The focus groups preferred the white background on the website and app over the dark, graphite option.

At the end of the promotion,the social media team will generate and share artwork from the photos.

“THE WHITE BACKGROUND IS MORE CLEAN” “THE WHITE MAKES IT LOOK MORE FRESH AND NEAT” “THE DARK BACKGROUND REMINDS ME OF THE OLD PIZZA HUT RESTAURANTS THAT ARE DARK AND DINGY”

Our evaluation groups also suggested a few adjustments to our tv commercial. A few people suggested we add a message about downloading the app “I’D MAKE SURE THE COMMERCIAL HAS VOICE OVER OR A SCENE TELLING PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP.”

Our campaign will meet these objectives:

1. Position Pizza Hut as the top

choice for customers who order pizza digitally 2. Provide the greatest digital ordering experience in the category 3. Reach the target of 75 percent of all orders done online/mobile by the end of 2015

25

There is a wide range of returns on investment in digital media, so it’s key to be able to evaluate the success of digital ads quickly and make improvements fast so as to not waste resources. We will measure these touchpoints throughout the duration of the campaign: 3. Promotion participation 1. Revenue and market share increases specifically 4. Social engagement through through digital orders through YouTube views App downloads Facebook likes Digital account creations Instagram followers and likes Digital orders Twitter retweets and favorites Online event participation Hashtags 2. Event participation Website Visitors
