Singapore – Popeyes Singapore has launched its latest Chinese New Year (CNY) activation campaign that lets people exchange their excess mandarin for some lucky discounts on their limited edition chilli crab chicken menu.

The campaign aims to provide a delicious solution for those with too many mandarin oranges collected during the festive season. It is also Popeyes’ creative way to promote the comeback of their limited chilli crab chicken menu.

Instead of discarding the fruits in the bin, consumers can take a photo of their excess mandarin oranges and post it on their social media, tagging Popeyes Singapore’s account on Instagram. Popeyes will contact the lucky winners privately on the app with their discount voucher that they could claim at the physical store.

To further boost this campaign, Popeyes also tapped some renowned Singaporean influencers, gifting them with mystery kits that led them to redeem their discount vouchers at the Popeyes store.

Rafael Serer, general manager of Popeyes APAC, said, “We are very excited to bring back our limited chilli crab chicken in Singapore! Combining the delicious flavours of a uniquely Singapore dish with our Cajun chicken heritage, we want to make CNY an extra special occasion for our guests. More importantly, at Popeyes, it’s about creating core memories that will last a lifetime.”

Singapore – Popeyes in Singapore has announced the launch of its first-ever dating show, which invites daters to crank up the heat with spicy questions based on the levels of spiciness of their menu items.

This campaign, conceptualised alongside Happiness Saigon, challenges contestants with 3 levels of spicy questions mimicking the intensity of 3 levels of Smoky Sriracha menu items. Just like Popeyes is making their normal menu items spicier with the Smoky Sriracha sauce, their spicy questions are adding some heat to normal conversations.

This dating show stint is also made in line with promoting Popeyes’ new Smoky Sriracha collection.

Moreover, the campaign–titled ‘Spice Up That Love’–succeeds not only in presenting the product in a fun and engaging way but also in building brand love for Popeyes as an entertaining and creative brand. 

Lien Sterkens, head of content at Happiness Saigon, said, “Audiences nowadays want to be entertained. Instead of competing in a saturated market of promoting new menu items, we let Popeyes create their own category: a dating show. The shift from brand to content creator is an important one for Popeyes in 2023.”

This is Happiness Saigon’s recent work with Popeyes Singapore, the previous one being related to launching a hotline to allow the customer to vent out their woes in exchange for chicken.
