What Made Dunkin’s Campaign with Ben Affleck a Cultural Phenomenon?

Embracing Marketing Mistakes

Send Us Your Feedback!

In this episode of Campaign Crunch we dissect Dunkin's strategic pivot from donuts to coffee. Our spirited conversation will reveal how Ben Affleck's Boston roots and his genuine love for the brand stirred up a local flavour that New Englanders couldn't resist. We're looking into its brand extension risks and rewards, and serving up the importance of cultural connections in marketing—all with our usual splash of terrible humour.
Switch gears with us as we tackle the glitz and glamour of Super Bowl ads, questioning if the hefty price tag is really worth the spectacle. Dunkin's star-studded commercials and social media finesse provide the perfect case study for a multifaceted approach to increasing brand awareness. And for a taste of something a little different, we tease an upcoming segment with our guest Katie, who offers a glimpse into her marketing mistake regarding reality TV influencers.
