When a model will get a free thought for an advert from its largest fan, how can a artistic workforce flip it down?
Wendy’s, given such a possibility, jumped on the probability to make an advert primarily based on a younger fan’s storyboard.
Final Thursday, Megan Jantos tweeted that her son Julien is Wendy’s “largest fan” and shared a storyboard and script her son created for a Wendy’s business referred to as “The Burger.”
Wendy’s social media-team got here throughout Jantos’ tweet on Friday afternoon and inside seven hours created a video primarily based on Julien’s thought. The chain’s promoting workforce at VML helped to rapidly supply inventory footage, rating authentic music and “safe approval from his mother to convey Julien’s creative imaginative and prescient to life,” stated Wendy’s CMO Carl Loredo.
On Friday night, Wendy’s shared the video. It was made shot-for-shot primarily based on Julien’s thought, even together with his typos. Keckup and musterd, anybody?

Jantos thanked Wendy’s and posted an image of Julien with the storyboard. Bonus factors: Julien has pink hair, similar to Wendy.

“Clearly, [Julien] is sensible past his years and has wonderful style, so we needed to have fun that in a uniquely Wendy’s method,” stated Loredo. “Our workforce will inform you it was considered one of our favourite artistic challenges as we rapidly mobilized to highlight his ardour for Wendy’s.
Loredo famous that Wendy’s social media workforce loves interacting with followers and this video displays how the model authentically exhibits up for them day out and in.
“It is why our followers know they’ll depend on us to be probably the most responsive model on Twitter, within the restaurant and wherever, anyway they wish to join with us,” he stated.
