BURGER KING DISTRICT OFC

Acknowledging the power of the tv ads, Barry Gibbons tried to create new slogans for every campaign. Unfortunately, he did not succeed in refreshing the company’s image. With the enrolling of James Adamson as CEO in 1993, BK immediately started working on the companies key areas: quality, value and image. He started by increasing the size of the hamburger by 50%, following the introduction of the BK Big Fish.

After years of inconsistent ads, Adamson finally broke through the fast feeders with the all new “Get your burger’s worth” campaign. In 1997, the firm launches a $70 million French fry advertising campaign. Now focusing on beating out the main competitor (McDonalds), Burger King introduced the Big King. Rolling down the lane of success, the franchise started refurbishing on different levels, starting with the company logo, the packaging and the drive-thru lanes. The whole rethinking was held not only in the U.S., but also in Europe and Latin America. After harsh times due to the allegations that Burger King’s promotional toys are potentially dangerous for children and financial difficulties, it was time for John Dasburg to step in and take control over the company. He took the step of making Burger King more vegetarian-friendly with the introduction of the first fast-food veggie burger, the BK Veggie. He then re-launched the BK Broiler under a new name – the Chicken Whopper.The current Burger Kings headquarters are based in the Miami International Airport, Florida. Ever since its inception, Burger King has and always will be on the lookout for new possibilities to satisfy the fast-food lovers worldwide.
