Following #Anti2010 and the activation of Notifications, BURGER KING® is once again taking a bold stance for the third consecutive year. In alignment with the national day dedicated to combating school bullying, BURGER KING® has joined forces with the charity Les Papillons to unveil a compelling new awareness initiative crafted by Buzzman.
In France, a staggering 1 in 10 children falls victim to bullying, a statistic of immense concern that warrants widespread acknowledgment of the severity of the issue.
To ensure maximum outreach, BURGER KING® has chosen to leverage its brand, establishments, and social media platforms to launch a campaign aimed at raising awareness about the prevalence of bullying.
The campaign commenced on November 8, the day preceding the anti-bullying day, when a peculiar transformation occurred—the letter in the BURGER KING® logo turned gray across all its social media channels.
Subsequently, this visual representation extended to select restaurant windows, where a gray letter appeared. Within the restaurants, a deliberate pattern emerged: for every 10 tables, self-checkout machines, crowns, and bags, one item turned gray.
This intentional shift is intended to capture attention and highlight the significance of the message. Just as one gray object in 10 stands out conspicuously, the plight of 1 in 10 children experiencing bullying deserves a heightened awareness.
In addition to this impactful awareness campaign, BURGER KING® is reaffirming its commitment to the charity Les Papillons, tirelessly combating child bullying throughout the year. On November 9, 2023, the national day against school bullying, all profits from the sale of King Junior menus will be donated to the charity.
Individuals interested in supporting Les Papillons can contribute by visiting https://www.associationlespapillons.org/.
This awareness campaign will be prominently featured in BURGER KING® restaurants and across its social media channels from November 8 to 9.
