Pizza Hut: The Unboxing.

Pizza Hut: The Unboxing.

Background & Insight

To re-engage with Aussies after years on the cultural periphery as Australia’s “pizza ghost”, Pizza Hut underwent a major $10 million Australia-wide transformation. New brand, new menu and perhaps most exciting of all new stores. 

Our challenge? Relaunch Pizza Hut and connect the new brand to 18-24s in a way that was impossible to ignore through earned media. 

To achieve the cultural cut through the brand needed we Wire-tapped into a phenomena filled with spectacle unboxing. Unboxing has enthralled millions for years with its scroll-stopping intrigue, and one of Pizza Hut’s most central distinctive brand assets is its branded box. A synergy as sumptuous as pepperoni and cheese.

The Idea & Results

The Idea & Results

This is a story of how we unboxed the new Pizza Hut. 

We pulled off one of the largest single-moment brand activations Australia has ever seen. 75 stores were ‘boxed up’ with the new asset in giant form wrapped around the facade. Then they were simultaneously Unboxed by global DJ talent, like Young Franco and Hayden James. Queues round the block got hectic. 10,000+ pizzas given away to thousands of Aussies. And then, the most epic pizza party kicked off. 


This moment showed what the next chapter of Pizza Hut looks and feels like. A shift-change in attitude with an earned-first idea, synchronised across the country for all of Australia to see and feel.
