KFC Festive Fanatics

kfcpromo.jpg

Os gringos, principalmente os americanos, adoram fazer jogos de luzes e enfeites exagerados em suas casas, quando o Natal se aproxima.
E a KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) resolveu premiar os donos das mais criativas decorações natalinas.
Lançou o KFC Festive Fanatics como objeto de promoção de um dos seus produtos que é, atualmente, o seu carro chefe, o Two Originals Meal.
Os americanos tinham até o dia 11 de dezembro para postarem seus vídeos com as imagens de suas criações no Youtube, ou fotografias no Flickr. Ao final, todo conteúdo deveria ser submetido no site da promo (www.kfc.com/traditions)
Doze finalistas foram julgados por uma cadeia de juízes que, de acordo com as regras, analisaram a “originalidade e criatividade” dos enfeites, e a “adequação a imagem da KFC”.
O vencedor da campanha KFC Festive Fanatics foi anunciado há pouco, e teve como recompensa 1 ano de Two Origianals Meal de graça + US$ 1.000,00. Nada mal para quem adora estimular e compartilhar a própria criatividade.

Veja uma das decorações mais criativas, feita por um participante da promoção:
