3. Executive Summary
Pizza Hut is the company of now.
From stuffed crust to sending a pizza to
space, Pizza Hut’s leaders have never been
shy when it comes to innovation. That is why
they’re a perfect match for Millennials, the
generation of now.
The two things that Millennials love most
in this world are pizza and the Internet. But,
when it comes to combining the two, there is
a disconnect.
Men 18 to 24 and women 25 to
34 have brains perfectly attuned to the
digital world. Nonetheless, somewhere in
those brains are tiny lobes still hardwired to
automatically think of calling when it comes to
ordering food, even going so far as searching
for pizza online but then calling when they find
the number instead of ordering digitally.
Can we rewire those atavistic
lobes? Of course we can. It’s been done
before. Just look at how banks overcame
massive consumer resistance decades ago
and made ATMs the totally matter-of-fact way
to deal with your bank. All it takes is a com-
pelling and rewarding promise promulgated
through consumer media with enough reach
and frequency to lodge that promise in our
consumers’ consciousness.
This, then, is a consumer campaign. A
consumer campaign demands consumer me-
dia, supplemented by paid digital media. But
paid media is not the only answer. It can’t be.
When Millennials log on to their favorite social
networks, they will see in a fun, interactive
manner why the new Pizza Hut app deserves
a spot in their coveted app tray. They will see
acts of kindness, which, while thoroughly
altruistic, nonetheless connect solely through
the digital sphere. When they go to a football
game or a Blake Shelton concert they may
get a first-hand personal experience of the
ease of ordering a pizza at the PizzApp pop-
up store.
This campaign asks and answers one
question with single-minded focus: Are you
really gonna order the Flavor of Now with the
technology of then? Not any more.
3
What is that promise, that hook?
It’s right there in the brief Pizza Hut sent to
the agencies in this pitch: “At Pizza Hut, you
can order in less than 15 seconds . . . on any
device, in just a few clicks.”
Think about how amazing that fact
is: By switching from the technology of then
to the technology of now, you can have your
usual pizza on its way to you in 15 seconds
or less. In 15 seconds or less! That is an
insanely small amount of time. And
insanely compelling to the busy-busy-busy
digital generation.
Consumers don’t download apps
willy-nilly. An app has to earn its place on the
consumer’s laptop, tablet or smartphone. It
has to have an obvious and intrinsic value.
The ability to order your usual pizza
in 15 seconds is that value. The task then
becomes to make consumers aware of that
value and to habituate them to taking
advantage of it.

OUR CHALLENGE
Provide the greatest
digital ordering
experience in the
category.
For reasons of convenience and brevity, we
use the term “app” to refer to an ordering
application on all digital platforms: laptop,
tablet or smartphone. For the purposes of
this campaign, all discussions of apps in
this plan include ordering via www.pizza-
hut.com unless otherwise specified.
Please Note
4. The quantitative yield of the surveys was used
to direct qualitative probing through focus
groups. The groups were vocal about their
complaints with their pizza ordering method
of choice: calling in. We saw there is a woeful
lack of awareness of the benefits of order-
ing digitally and an even greater absence of
consideration.
The focus groups also buttressed the
quantitative findings on brand loyalty. Simply
put, our target audience does not pledge
unwavering allegiance to any specific pizza
chain. That’s the bad news. But they could be
loyal to an ordering method if there is a suffi-
cient incentive for consideration and adoption.
In short, brand loyalty is not a factor in the
pizza category – but app loyalty can be.
Now the Questions
Research Methods
The assignment we received from Pizza Hut
was so focused, so well defined that research
could be focused very specifically. Digging
around in secondary sources gave us a clear
enough view of the subject to be able to
frame the questions as well as allowing a few
informed hunches to be explored. Phased
original research allowed us to build a solid
picture of what makes our target market tick
as far as ordering pizza goes, as well as
ratifying those hunches.
We carried out a two-phase survey, one an
intercept and the second via an incentivized
Internet push, to measure pizza-ordering
attitudes and experiences. We probed topics
such as ordering habits, ordering experience,
actual and hypothetical ordering preferences,
brand loyalty and incentive and loyalty
options.
WE CAN BUILD ON THAT.

With Pizza Hut there is no lack of brand awareness, so that is not an issue.
Surprisingly, roughly 80 percent of consumers are aware of the ability
to order pizza digitally. However, they are dismally unaware of the benefits
of ordering digitally versus ordering by telephone, namely the ease, accuracy
and amazing speed that can get their usual pizza ordered in
a mind-blowing 15 seconds or less. Right now, 65
percent of the target market does not have any
type of pizza ordering app on their phones. But
research shows that number to be quite
malleable.

People are wildly loyal to pizza, not so
much to a pizza brand or chain. They
are loyal to an ordering method, currently
the telephone. This opens up the chance
to create loyalty to a different ordering

7. Now a Strategy
Millennials’ brains are hard-wired to order
their pizza by phone, even doing things as
ridiculous as searching for a pizza store’s
phone number online and then switching
to a phone call to order. It is the “we’ve
always done it that way” phenomenon, a
societal barrier to entry into many new
things.
Research demonstrates most pizza cus-
tomers do not pledge fierce allegiance to a
specific pizza chain, but they do to a spe-
cific ordering experience, to a large extent
the telephone. Research also suggests
their loyalty to their ordering habits can
be changed with sufficient incentive, that
they can be moved from the technology of
then to the technology of now. It suggests
All executions will, in one way or another,
tie directly to one or all of these messages.
Additionally, each execution will integrate
with the other executions and all will build
on the Flavor of Now concept. The
messages will be delivered through a
substantial media buy aimed squarely at
our target audience and supplemented by
social media and public relations tactics
likewise integrated into the overall
message.
they will download, use and habituate
themselves to online ordering if there is
a strong enough hook to stimulate the
download and an appealing enough reason
to stimulate repeat purchase.
Our strategy to reach the three goals laid
out in the brief, then, is to exploit three
compelling openings, which emerged from
research. The first is the hook, put forward
in Pizza Hut’s own brief, of being able to
order your usual pizza in 15 seconds, the
perceived value, will earn the ordering app
a place on our consumers’ devices. The
second is a program that rewards repeat
online purchase automatically, thereby
stimulating post-download engagement
with this form of ordering over the long
"No. I'M Going to order online."
"Am I really going to order
the Flavor of Now with
the technology of then??"
And to answer that question with:

consumers to ask themselves a question:

People just like us. Our age.
Now We Plan
Pizza Hut has over 6,300 traditional restaurants in the U.S. and maintains over 15,000
units spanning more than 90 countries. It is no surprise that Pizza Hut is the largest
pizza chain the world. Since Pizza Hut’s beginnings in 1958, ordering pizza by phone
has always been the go-to method. However, even though the first digital pizza order
was placed over 20 years ago, the transition to digital food ordering generally and from
Pizza Hut in particular, has not yet begun in earnest.
Men and women between the
ages of 18-34 who currently do
not order Pizza Hut digitally.
They don’t understand the benefits
ordering digitally provides. They are
mired in old habits.
Ordering digitally is faster, easier,
and more economical than calling.Are you really gonna order the Flavor
of Now with the technology of then?

of products digitally every day. Why
should pizza be any different?

NOW
Pizza Hut’s current ordering app is
beautifully done. It captures perfectly
the Flavor of Now concept in every
detail and does so with notable graphic
excellence and appetite appeal. There
is, however, a question of architecture.
The very detail of the current app’s
structure caters perfectly to the
consumer who wants to compose a
different pizza with every order.
Unfortunately, research suggests that
only 3 percent of pizza consumers do
this. A massive majority of consumers
always or frequently order the same
pizza. While it is possible to order one’s
usual pizza quickly using the current
app architecture, the option preferred
We propose a modification. We must
emphasize that we do not propose a
replacement for the current excellent
app, merely a reshuffling of the order in
which the opening pages appear. With
the initial pages arranged in the order
shown in this concept, the consumer will
in fact be able to order his or her usual
pizza, delivered to the usual address
and paid for in the usual way in 15
seconds or less.

9. Please note the box in the upper right corner of the screen. This is where the customer loyalty program lives.
While being able to order in 15 seconds or less will stimulate trial of online ordering, the loyalty
program, Hut Bucks, will reward repeat purchases and therefore bring about habituation. When each
person initializes her or his file within his or her personal app – archiving preferences for the usual pizza, the
usual delivery address or pick-up and the usual method of payment – a one-time screen will explain that Hut
Bucks will automatically accrue with every order until enough have accumulated to make an order free.
From that point on, Hut Bucks’ seamless and automatic integration into online ordering and the app requires
no extra effort on the part of the consumer. Offering a customer loyalty program exclusively through digital
ordering drives traffic exactly where we want it.

Loyalty Program

Research suggests – insists, in fact – that a rewards
program will alter consumer behavior. The program will
be completely automatic. With every digital order, the
consumer will receive a number of Hut Bucks. When a
sufficient number of Hut Bucks has accumulated, the cus-
tomer will receive a message telling her or him that this
pizza is free.

rewards program would influence

SPLITTINGThe
second
modification we
propose to the
existing app addresses and
solves a common problem,
one that, given the social nature of
pizza, we have all encountered. Whenever a group
of friends wants to order pizza, the same situation
pops up. Jim does not have any cash, but he has
his card on him. John only has his card on him, too.
Beth brought cash and a card, but she does not
want to pay for everyone. Sound familiar? This is
because Jim, John and Beth are using the
technology of then to order the Flavor of Now.
A minor modification to the existing Pizza Hut app
can switch the process to not only the technology of
now but also to the culture of now.
With the split-the-bill feature, customers will be able
to do just that: split the bill. A notification will be
sent to each friend on his or her own device where
they then can accept the invitation to divide the bill
up between them. If a friend does not have a Pizza
Hut account, they have the option to put their card
information in manually or Snap a Pic.

Random Acts of Pizza
Reddit, often called the front page of the
Internet, is an online community with
message boards tailored to certain interests
called subreddits. One existing subreddit, Ran-
dom Acts of Pizza, centers around two things:
pizza and kindness. Users share stories about
their need for pizza in hopes that someone will
fulfill their request. We will be that someone.
Pizza Hut will create a Reddit account and respond to
users, perhaps 10 per day, sending E-gift cards in response to
different stories posted throughout the day. Each Pizza Hut
response on the Random Acts of Pizza site will make plain that
the gift pizza is redeemable via the online ordering app, a
message that will be seen by each and every follower of this
pizza-focused subreddit.
Research substantiates that Millennials react
very positively to businesses that incorporate
charity and social responsibility into their corpo-
rate culture. This simple promotion is, first and
foremost, charitable, but itntegrates that charity
directly to Pizza Hut’s promotion of online order-
ing. Conducting the entire transaction in the digital
realm – from request to response to fulfillment –
reinforces and integrates the message of speed
and ease.
Random Acts of Pizza User: Broke college student stuck

PizzApp Pop-Up Digital Café
The PizzApp Pop-Up Digital Café will draw
customers into the digital ordering expe-
rience first hand. Pizza Hut will construct
several portable pop-up pizza stores to be
deployed in high foot-traffic environments
such as sporting events, Blake Shelton con-
certs, perhaps even in bustling downtowns
or on college campuses.
22
The exterior walls of the Café will be lined
with six to eight very large touch screens
that display an oversized version of the
current, visually appealing ordering app
(minus the 15-second “usual pizza” screen,
of course). Customers can order and pay
for their Flavor of Now pizzas straight from
the screens. Once the order is complete, the
kitchen prepares their meal, which will be
available for pickup from the central kitchen.
The PizzApp Café will introduce multitudes
of consumers to the ease and efficiency of
on-screen ordering, the first step in habit-
uation. At the end of each order, the final
screen message will invite the customer to
take advantage of the Pizza Hut app on their
personal laptop, tablet or phone and will end
with the 15-second promise for ordering their
usual pizza.

in our target audience with enough frequency to
ensure recall. This means a big media buy against
judiciously indexed audiences. For men, it will be

Sports 1, MTV, Spike and TBS. For women: MTV,
TBS, TLC and VH1.
CABLE TV RATIONALE&
Our second flight of media buys is primarily
sports-weighted, centered around the World Series,
because the only things that sports fans love more
than the big game are their phones and tablets. We
found that 86 percent of viewers are on their tablets
while watching sports, and an astounding 89 percent
are using their smartphones. By catching consumers
with either of both devices in hand, they will be more
likely to order digitally.
Our digital media will not only
reach a large audience, it will reach the
right one. YouTube reaches 35 percent
of all U.S. Millennials. At only $0.20 CPV
we will be getting more than a bang for
our buck – we will get a massive explosion
for our buck.

18-34. With Hulu’s advanced
audience targeting capabilities, we
can be sure that we are reaching the
right eyes.

We will use Double Click, a third-party ad server, to track clicks,
click-through rates and impressions on all platforms. Hulu and
YouTube will use audience-targeting tools to ensure we are re-
ceiving the impressions we’ve paid for—YouTube through PPC
and Hulu through CPM. These platforms will also use frequency
capping to ensure proper viewing frequency for each viewer.
On BuzzFeed, we will track content performance in real-time
using BuzzFeed’s social dashboard.
For our Random Acts of Pizza Campaign on eddit, we will
measure the effectiveness through positive sentiment on
Pizza Hut’s other social media accounts, as well as the
upvote/downvote system embedded in reddit itself. We will
also compare the number of E-gift cards issued by Pizza Hut
versus the number redeemed. Because this campaign deals
more with corporate responsibility and charity, we are less
worried about the raw numbers for this, placing more value
on the number of hungry people being helped.
During our #15SecondChallenge campaign, we will monitor
the number of posts using the designated hashtag, as well
as the number of Hut Bucks awarded throughout its 15-day
span. Other than social engagement, we will measure the
success of the campaign through viewing the total number
of Pizza Hut app downloads. If there is a spike during the
15 days the campaign is running, it will be deemed a suc-
cessful venture.
The PizzApp Digital Café concept’s success will be measured,
first, through participation. If there are lines down the block,
excellent. We will survey a random sample of participants in
regards to their experience. If there is a spike in Pizza Hut
app downloads in the location of the event, it will be consid-
ered a success.
Success on cable TV will be measured through the total number
of viewers with the national cable network ratings. Customer con-
version will also be measured through spikes in app downloads
and increased traffic to the Pizza Hut website and social sites,
correlating shifts in downloads and digital traffic to programming.
