Don Quijote Partners with Bruno Mars for New Video Campaign

— August 28, 2024 — Marketing
Don Quijote, recognized in Japan as 'Don Don Donki,' has introduced a new celebrity endorsement in partnership with singer Bruno Mars—part of a broader campaign aimed at increasing brand visibility and engagement.

The campaign features "a vibrant 30-second commercial showcasing Bruno Mars in a lively Don Don Donki store, where he is seen pushing a shopping cart filled with various snacks and products." The commercial is set to an upbeat house track, with Mars repeatedly singing the phrase "Donki Ikoyu," adding a catchy and memorable element to the advertisement.

Additionally, Don Don Donki "has launched a contest on its website, running until September 4th; the contest offers 10,000 participants the opportunity to win coupons for the products featured in the commercial." This partnership with Bruno Mars is expected to enhance the store's appeal and draw in local and international customers of the widely popular discount store.
