KFC: advert-body-2 by Wieden + Kennedy Portland
- Location:
To promote its Extra Crispy Chicken, KFC has rolled out a number of spots featuring the ‘Extra Crispy Colonel.’ Played by actor George Hamilton, the Extra Crispy Colonel lounges on the beach in each spot as he touts the fast-food chain’s crispier offering. Created by Wieden + Kennedy Portland, the spots aim to increase awareness of KFC’s extra crispy chicken since “more than 50 percent of Americans don’t know that KFC has two fried chicken recipes – Original Recipe and Extra Crispy,” according to the brand.
