**Call the Ghost-Busters, Jack in the Box is Unleashing Monsters**
If there is one thing Jack in the Box knows how to do, it's raising eyebrows. This Halloween, they’re cooking up more than just tacos. Buckle up, fellow marketers, it’s time to unpack this deliciously devilish scoop.
To mark the return of Monster Tacos and the birth of the Angry Monster Taco, Jack in the Box has unleashed its first-ever horror short, "Feeding Time." And they’re not stopping there. The larger campaign, cooked up with partners at TBWA\Chiat\Day LA, includes bite-sized spots that will steal the show on linear, streaming, and digital video platforms.
Think your Halloween party needs a little revving up? Book the Angry Monster Truck straight from the "Feeding Time" short from Oct. 24 and experience real-time brand integration. But before you rush to Resy, let's dig a little deeper into this strategy.
**The Treats Behind The Tricks**
Jack in the Box is channeling its humor and the Halloween spirit into a multi-channel campaign. Rather than sprinkling on some Halloween charm with spooky visuals and gags, Jack aimed to disrupt the norm with an authentic piece of culture. As Jeff O’Keefe, creative director at TBWA\Chiat\Day LA, aptly pointed out, they offer an experience that respects the intelligence of its fans while seamlessly including its product.
The creatives behind this campaign don’t dread the dark corners of content creation. The nerve-racking narrative of "Feeding Time" was penned by Hollywood writers Marcus Dunstan, Asha Michelle Wilson, Patrick Melton, and Kara Lee Corthron, who bring their experiences from titles like "American Horror Story: 1984" and the "Saw" franchise to Jack's script.
The campaign plays on a variety of channels, ensuring that Jack is heard loud and clear. This isn’t just about product placement folks, it's about strategic integrations and partner promotions – like the hidden code that encourages the use of the brand's app. The first 1,000 Jack Pack loyalty program members to find it receive two free tacos with their purchase.
