Smashing Sales Records
Blue Bear worked with Smashburger to help launch the Sin City Burger in restaurants nationwide. #SinCitySurvivalTips, a social media campaign based on an insight the burger could remedy a Vegas-level night out, was the primary marketing behind the record smashing product launch.
Connecting Social Media to Real Business Results
A Taste of the Sin City
Knowing Smashburger’s customers over-indexed as survival show watchers, the campaign jokingly positioned the Sin City Burger’s decadence as the key to sustaining the extreme Vegas lifestyle. For the chance to win a free trip for two, fans shared their own best #SinCitySurvivalTips on social, with the rest of us getting a taste of the extravagance by way of Smashburger’s new Sin City Burger.
