Flame-Grilled Billboards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Fiery Billboard Promotes the Flame Grilled Whopper-Flavored Doritos

— March 8, 2023 — Marketing
Burger King is synonymous with flame grilling and to call attention to the new Flame Grilled Whopper-flavored Doritos, the flavored tortilla chip brand created an unmissable flame-grilled billboard. This new ad celebrates a new partnership and the fast food chain's famed charcoal flavor in an attention-grabbing way.

The controlled stunt turned the advertisement in front of a Burger King into a wall of flames, and it set conversations alight on social media. This kickoff to the Burger King and Doritos partnership and the "triangle Whopper" was also backed by a film on YouTube and social media activations.
