KFC, famous for its fried chicken, says it is pushing the boundaries of creativity with its latest campaign, The Originals.
Rooted in the brand’s heritage and originality, it says the 360-degree campaign aims to infuse a fresh and relatable energy into the KFC experience across the MENA region.
“In a bold move to captivate the region’s youth, the true chicken experts, KFC has collaborated with renowned hip-hop artists Abo El Anwar from Egypt and Slo Moe from Saudi Arabia.
“Together, they have created a KFC-themed version of the hit track Brrr Brrr Brrr; which serves as the campaign’s anthem.”
Accompanying music video-styled commercials pay homage to the spirit of its founder Colonel Sanders and showcase crew members who prepare KFC’s mouth-watering chicken today.
The video outlines ‘Crunch is their thing, and Spice is their forte, KFC is original, and originality is their game’ with the help of a hip-hop soundtrack.
“The campaign visuals are designed to tantalize viewers’ taste buds, featuring drool-worthy shots of KFC’s famous crunchy and fresh fried chicken. These traffic-stopping close-ups will leave consumers craving that unmistakable and original KFC flavor,” enthuses its press release.
KFC wants its Originals campaign to make a lasting impression reinforcing its position as the go-to destination and original idea for chicken enthusiasts who value authenticity and crave that one-of-a-kind KFC taste.
