A book in every tray, Burger King became, Reader King Burger King transformed its tray mats into ‘Reader King’ books which are carefully chosen among the must-reads yet forgotten Korean literatures for students. The Reader King books are made with safe materials into thin and light handouts, so that people can read it while eating. After finish eating, people can take the Reader King Books as the books are designed to taken apart easily from the tray mat.
On April 23rd, which is the World Book Day, two Burger King stores were carefully selected so that as many students could participate in the event. The stores are located in such areas crowded by many high schools and universities nearby. In those two stores, everyone was served with the Reader King Book tray mat, and over 6000 people read a book at the Burger King stores for just one day. Burger King Facebook page also posted ‘Books are Whoppers for the soul’ contents through the campaign period, and hundreds of students participated by sharing their favorite books and verses.
Over 6000 people got to read a book at Burger King in just one day. Reader King was all over the news and got huge attention on social media. The Reader King campaign on Facebook is also the most liked contents in the first half of 2017. Most of all, each book just like a hearty Whopper kept the mind of student filled.
Burger King Stores directly made Korean students, who do not read books anymore these days, actually read books on the World Book Day. We put Korean short literatures on the tray mats where customers are most closely met. As the result, over 6,000 students read books on the World Book Day.
Books are good food for the soul. But students in Korea stopped reading. Because of homework, playing games or on their phones While serving students hearty meals, Burger King got to thinking. What if we also served some “Whopper for the soul”? On April 23rd for World Book Day, BurgerKing became ‘Reader King’. We change Burgerking’s tray-mat into book.
