Background
Burger King wanted to create a fun and disruptive awareness and branding campaign that would resonate with people through irreverence, humor - both hallmarks of the brand - and showcase the irresistible nature of all of its menu.
Execution
The campaign films depict how it feels when one takes desirability for something to the next level. Even if it flirts with morals and ethics. Or even basic hygiene.
In each commercial, we are faced with a sample of the relentless internal struggle one faces to resist the temptation of not eating any product available at Burger King.
It is a silent battle, but eventually, this uncontrollable war reveals its winner.
