bruh....


bruh

I thought this was some joke by some dusty ass worldstar rapper :mjlol:

My face when I relized its actually by hamburger help, the real hamburger helper :skip:

I saw this on Facebook and immediately said "Let me guess, A new singing ass trap nikka. fukk outta' here:rudy: " then came to the booth since I haven't browsed in a while and I see the name again and featured also. :wtf: I had to see the reactions to see if it was fukkery or actual good music. I didn't even press play, I just saw people were actually enjoying this :leon: so I listened and was shocked some of these songs actually knock. :heh: I tried to find the artist instagram only to realize its the actual food brand, Hamburger Helper.:aicmon::mindblown:

That's what so funny about it. We have seen big companies like McDonalds and Pepsi hire famous platinum artists and get no traction with the songs and commercials. Hamburger Helper came through and crushed the buildings with lesser known artists.

Some background, seeing as how I know some folks who work at General Mills and on that marketing team. Hamburger Helper is pretty much a STRUGGLING brand. There's nothing about it that captures any of the food trends. It's not organic, healthy, etc. It's a bunch of processed crap in a box. Because of this their brand hasn't been growing.

Since it's doing so bad, the marketing team has full autonomy to just try whatever. Because at this point the head honchos at GM aren't paying them any attention. They're not a cash cow. The caveat... they have a small budget. Hamburger Helper can't really launch a large cross-channel marketing campaign. What's cool is that this is exactly how innovation happens... Some savvy folks on the marketing team, worked with an ad agency and a little bit of budget (relatively) and here's what we have.

They went with funny guys who would actually make it hot, and let them do their thing instead of having restrictions that most companies probably have.

Yup. But this is also because of their position like I mentioned above. They don't have the budget for celebrities and they needed to make an impact. It was quite a risk because of the associations, but they know their customer and it worked.

I never liked Hamburger Helper, but marketing-wise, this is pure genius. They know who the majority of their customers are and the demographic. This is more effective than a million dollar Superbowl commercial.

And honestly, that Drake-Meek situation sort of made this possible. B/c so many companies interacted with that on social media that it instantly became acceptable to support rap.

First half is right, second half not so much. It all depends on the company and then it depends on the brand. You'll never see Tide do some shyt like this. Proctor and Gamble is just way too conservative.

I'm happy it worked. The next question will be does it convert into sales.

An ad agency actually did... But u get the point.
They don't really care about that shyt - they just taylor it to whatever cause they are faux outraging at the time i.e. Drake
