The objective of this project was to shift the conversation from Wendy's no longer having spicy nuggets to Burger King now having spicy nuggets.
In 2017, Wendy's discontinued their beloved spicy chicken nuggets and people were not happy. Wendy's is known for being extremely active on Twitter, so people inundated them with disgruntled tweets about their decision to discontinue their spicy chicken nuggets.
Wendy's has a reputation for being the ultimate Twitter troll, so we decided to wage a shadow war against them on the very platform they're known for being the best at. We simply turned Twitter users' disgruntled spicy nugget tweets, directed at Wendy's, into promoted ads from Burger King. Allowing us to infiltrate the feeds of millions of people, and spark a staggering amount of organic buzz. The best part? Wendy's went silent. The troll was defeated at their own game.
