Case Study

QSR CHAIN SERVES UP INCREMENTAL VISITS WITH

DIRECTV PROGRAMMATIC CTV

OBJECTIVE
A multi-national QSR chain sought to drive incremental restaurant visits and increase awareness of a limited-time Thanksgiving menu offering.
SOLUTION
The brand partnered with DIRECTV Advertising to reach sports audiences through a six-week programmatic CTV campaign. Leveraging live college football, MLB, and NASCAR programming with DMA-level targeting, the campaign delivered the brand's message to highly engaged viewers at scale. Third-party measurement was used to evaluate campaign impact on restaurant visitation.
IMPACT
The campaign drove measurable increases in restaurant visitation while helping increase awareness of the brand's limited-time Thanksgiving offering. By reaching passionate sports fans at scale, the campaign generated meaningful business outcomes and helped drive demand for the seasonal menu item, which ultimately sold out.
