KFC: advert-body-1 by Wieden + Kennedy Portland
- Location:
KFC is no stranger to crazy marketing ideas (chicken flavored lip balm, chicken sandwich in space). For the first time ever, the brand is taking its ideas to the masses via Indiegogo by launching KFC Innovations Lab.
Through the KFC Innovations Lab, customers can contribute to their favorite ideas for a chance to have them brought to life. There are currently five creative ideas. A Kentucky Fried Hot Tub looks like a KFC bucket. This giant bucket features wood-fired thermosyphoning heating technology, the capacity for five fried chicken-loving people, and a full 360 degrees of Kentucky Fried Chicken branding.
Another is the Colonel on Ice. For years people have been inspired by the story of how Colonel Harland Sanders went from a sixth grade dropout to the founder of a fried chicken empire. So, KFC will tell the story in a way that has captivated the world – by spinning around on ice.
The Little Colonel Locator combines fashionable neckwear with the latest in location-tracking technology. The world’s first location-tracking necktie will help you find anyone or anything that’s wearing this tie – as long as they’re within 100 feet of your smartphone.
