Boston Pizza

Sports Outreach Program

Introduction

The time had come for Boston Pizza International to redefine their position as competitors in the family-friendly dining sector. With a strategic vision in place, Boston Pizza aimed to not just bring in more families, but to create meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences along the way.  

Goal

In the busy world of family dining, Boston Pizza aimed to increase sales and market share within the family sector. Their goal was to build genuine connections with parents, youth, and children while developing strong brand loyalty and making lasting memories. Ultimately, Boston Pizza wanted to establish themselves as the best restaurants for families, setting a new standard for the industry.  

The Challenge

On the way to achieving its goals, there were some things that Boston Pizza needed to consider. Creating a national campaign involving diverse partners and renowned brands was no small task. Ensuring that the messaging of the kids' campaign resonated authentically with the organization's core values was essential, and navigating a saturated market full of options for family dining experiences brought its own set of challenges. Additionally, addressing the preferences of millennial parents, who prioritize brands committed to social causes and community support, was important. Special consideration was needed to tailor content for various age groups while ensuring relevance in today's social landscape too.
