Case study challenge - Strategy by Mortar Creative Advertising San Francisco

The Challenge

—

Online food delivery apps were gaining traction, and well-funded rivals had already grabbed the high ground when we met Eat24. They didn’t have a big advertising bankroll, but Eat24 was banking on us to create a feeding frenzy for their app.

Strategic Decision

—

Aim at the ignored: Young city-dwellers too busy, too stoned, or too deep in a game of Starcraft to be bothered with cooking.

The A-Ha Moment

—

Speak the same language as your audience and they’ll eat it up.

The Creative

—

As the competition tried to please everyone and their soccer mom, the unapologetically brash voice we established for Eat24 became their most powerful weapon.

Our bite-sized videos didn’t push everyone’s mouse button, but they sure did make a lot of sense to munchie-minded, 18- to 24-year-old dudes.

Eat24 makes food delivery happen. So our print ads told our ‘bong-boys’ to do just that—sit back and let Eat24 happen.

Man must eat. Eating is easy. Therefore, easy eating is a must for Man. Like we said, talk the talk (especially at 3am).

Eat24 didn’t just embrance the bold new brand we built them … they voraciously gorged themsleves on it all the way to a $134 million acquisition from Yelp.
