Summary

This was an internal pitch I made while at Ogilvy Miami. KFC was open to new ideas that focused on a young audience but had family time in sight as well. For this reason it was essential going outside the typical channels of advertising.

I was only able to pitch the concept, and it was really appreciated, however Christmas season was coming, and we had to switch the focus on other priorities.

#DefrostTheChicken.

There are many things that anger parents,
but according to the internet, when you forgot to defrost the chicken, it's particularly bad.

Scenario

A working parent with a simple request, yet disappointed by a distracted teenager. The perfect formula for family drama...

From here two scenarios: the first, the meme one. The second is our plan.

SCENARIO A

The meme, as it is: rushing to find a solution, failing, ultimately drama.

SCENARIO B

Give the meme a different finale, with KFC coming to the rescue.
