#WrapsWithoutGaps


Joining the rap

bandwagon is yet another brand. Burger King India unveiled #WrapsWithoutGaps

for its recently launched ‘new Loaded Wraps’.

The latest Burger King campaign is a social experiment where real rappers along with beat-boxers were asked to rap their heart out about the newly launched Burger King wraps, based on their experience. The film captures the expressions of these talents, creating music that describes the taste of these wraps.

“While we have

strong equity in burgers, we constantly strive to enhance our guest experience

through variety,” Srinivas Adapa, CMO - ‎Burger King India told Social Samosa.

“Rap is becoming

a part of our pop culture thanks to Bollywood and the ubiquitous social media

platforms that are springing new talent regularly. While there was the obvious

pun element of pairing rap with Wrap, what really made it an easy decision is

the fact that rap as an art form resonates with our brand essence of

self-expression and just being who you are,” Adapa adds.

The brief given to the agency was “to bring the launch of the wrap to life through an impactful and organic campaign.”

“IPL is a high impact environment but also comes with a lot of brand cutter,” Adapa shares. “In such an environment its imperative for brands to stand out as fresh and different rather than the run of the mill plug-ins.”

“Brand

through of your communication to be able to stand out in an extremely cluttered

environment,” he concludes.
