In the UK, Pizza Hut Helps to Orchestrate a Sweet Leap Year Proposal
Laura McQuarrie — February 29, 2016 — Marketing
In many European countries, the 29th of February appearing on a calendar means not only having an extra day to enjoy, but the chance for women to pop the question with a Leap Year proposal.
In the tradition with women proposing to their partners on Leap Day, Pizza Hut UK decided to set up a campaign to help one couple come together. Prior to this year's Leap Day, Pizza Hut put out a call on social media that asked for interested people to share their stories.
For its Leap Day proposal, Pizza Hut UK chose to help Sarah propose to Phill by dressing her up as a pizza delivery woman who arrived with a pizza complete with heart-shaped toppings and two rings. Naturally, the soon-to-be-married couple shares a love of pizza.
