Digital Campaign Index (DCI) Score: 182
Use Case: Brackets
The frenzy of March’s NCAA basketball tournament has finally arrived, and brands are jumping on board, as we saw a few weeks ago with Reese’s March Madness sweepstakes. For our readers that may not be familiar with March Madness (what’s up Bebteam), NCAA’s annual national championship tournament is a weeks-long tournament consisting of 64 different men’s basketball teams competing against each other and is commonly referred to as March Madness.
The bracket has become synonymous with March Madness and brands have jumped on board to leverage the appeal and engagement opportunities that brackets present during March. Bojangles, famous for their Chicken ‘n Biscuits, is one of the brands that has launched a topical, but unique, bracket campaign to engage both basketball and non-basketball fans during the tournament.
Bojangles’ built out a bracket featuring pitting their best menu items against each other and fans who participate are being given the chance to win an Xbox OneX and Bojangles’ gift cards. Building a bracket marketing campaign featuring their menu items was a smart way to engage both existing and a new customer base by leveraging March Madness to get in front of new audiences.
