The Brief

Domino's Pizza, the first delivery pizza chain imported to Japan, kept driving the market. However, recently Domino's Pizza slumped to the third place. In Japan, delivery pizza market is competitive and oversaturated. Our mission is to increase sales under this condition. Our strategy for accomplishment of this goal is not only to show ads to new customers, but also to create a new market by building a new food culture. So where does a new market exist? Our answer is OUTDOORS. "People order delivery pizza to their houses." We broke this stereotype by creating only one smart-phone application "Domino's App".

Creative Execution

In Japan, delivery pizza market is competitive and oversaturated. Even if Domino's pizza focuses on classic advertising media, such as TV and newspaper, the effect might be temporary in the red ocean. We believed that Domino's Pizza has to revolutionize advertising communication. Thus, we created not classical ads but an innovative marketing platform. Domino's app is a platform which can sell their products directly to whoever has iPhone, including existing and new consumers. At the same time, it realized the continual communication to consumers by sending a brand message, press release, and coupons. Domino's app must appropriate to the brand.
