Pizza Hut comes crawling back.
May 6, 2008
Pizza Hut’s advertising account is to return to Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO three years after the agency lost the business.
AMV won a four-way pitch against Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R, Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy and M&C Saatchi.
In April, Pizza Hut parted company with its previous ad agency, Wieden & Kennedy London, which handles accounts including Nokia, Nike and Honda, bringing to an end a three-year relationship.
In July last year Pizza Hut revealed it was rethinking its marketing strategy to move away from traditional fast food advertising.
The new approach involved diverting a significant proportion of Pizza Hut’s traditional TV-heavy ad spend to other media such as press and outdoor.
Pizza Hut needs to face it, when your food is made up of 90% grease, I think it’s safe to call it fast food. Stick with what has been working Pizza Hut. If you’re trying to class your places up a bit, then start with remodeling your 1988 themed restaurants.
