Burger King

ValMar Collab

How do you hype up a partnership for the third year in a row, especially when you are bringing back the exact same burger? You don't try to reinvent it. You embrace the repetition with heavy self-irony.

The ValMar King was already a massive hit among Gen Z, packed with six slices of bacon and onion rings. It was perfect as it was. So, instead of pretending to change the recipe, we built a 3-month campaign around the ultimate creative dilemma: do we really need to change a winning formula? We teamed up with pop duo ValMar and music legend Robi Szikora to create a funny meta-story. We proved that icons don't need a redesign—great things are worth loving more than once.

What was the spark?

We turned our biggest challenge into our best joke. Instead of changing the burger, we roasted the pressure to innovate, proving that the ValMar King is perfect just the way it is. Why mess with a masterpiece?

How did we bring it to life?

We launched with a star-studded TVC and massive OOH. To sustain the 3-month hype, we added a scratch-card promo with every purchase, offering festival gear and an exclusive backstage pass. The real blast was an in-store fan meet-and-greet with extra activations. On social, fans designed their own burgers to win the actual jackets worn by the boys in the video. The top 5 custom burgers were live-cooked at the fan event, where ValMar judged the final winner. We skipped boring product shots and served pure engagement across all channels.

How did we keep it rolling?

We fueled the hype with ongoing social content on BK’s and ValMar's own channels. By cross-promoting the custom burger contest and the fan meetup, we kept the Gen Z audience hooked and engagement sky-high for months.

What did it achieve?

The 3-month marathon successfully re-energized Gen Z, proving that authentic experiences beat forced innovation. The campaign drove massive footfall, boosted long-term sales, and triggered social buzz.
