Launch the New Taco Bell App
Taco Bell asked us to launch their new app. Instead of doing the expected and shouting about faster tacos, we did the opposite.
We went dark.
Saying nothing, got everybody talking.
All social media channels were shut down, leaving millions of followers wondering what was going on. With a brand like Taco Bell, silence travels fast. People started talking everywhere we weren’t, turning curiosity into momentum and making the app the most talked-about thing without saying a word.
