Strength of a two-pronged strategy and creative approach lead Abacus to run yet another successful campaign for Canada’s leading pizza delivery restaurant.
TORONTO, ON (DATE) – Abacus Growth Agency ran an insightful social media campaign for one of Canada’s leading pizza restaurants with over 700 locations, Pizza Pizza. With the intention of giving friends and families everything they needed to enjoy a game night in, the core of the campaign was based around a partnership between Pizza Pizza and Mattel Canada, which provided customers across Canada with an exclusive meal deal in celebration of the iconic card game UNO®’s 50th anniversary.
This was the largest multi-channel campaign that Abacus had ever created for Pizza Pizza, and one of their most lucrative to date with a 17x Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). Featuring remarkable work from the creative team, the campaign ads were tailored to TV and social channels including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. For the first time ever, the team embraced the different trends on TikTok to test them against each other, thus expanding the campaign’s reach and driving top results.
Abacus’ creative team worked to create attention-grabbing visuals that embraced the unexpected pairing of the two iconic brands, with simple yet effective storytelling. The creatives were able to draw on the prominent colour schemes of both brands, while successfully delivering the campaign’s key messaging that was focused on at-home entertainment. “Our team wanted to convey more than just the deal being offered,” said Adam Mohammed, Creative Director of Abacus. “It was the combination of powerful copywriting and stand-out visuals that allowed us to smoothly unite both Pizza Pizza and UNO® for this campaign.”
The team’s outstanding work resulted in more than 11 million impressions for the campaign and delivered a cost per thousand impressions (CPM) significantly lower than the industry average.
“For over 50 years, Pizza Pizza has believed that hot, fresh food and family experiences go hand in hand. This incredible collaboration with Mattel Canada was a natural fit for us, and we’re very pleased with how Abacus helped to bring it to life, including tailoring the creative by media platform,” said Amber Winters, Marketing Director of Pizza Pizza Ltd.
