- Whataburger
San Antonio-headquartered burger chain Whataburger is looking to build on its impressive growth trends by launching its first all-new marketing campaign in nine years*. The fast-casual chain's campaign — to span television, radio, outdoor and online advertising, public relations and social media — will include separate, parallel Spanish-language efforts. Whataburger enjoyed system-wide sales growth of 4% last year, making it the sixth-fastest-growing burger chain in the country, according to Economic. The fast-casual chain's sales now exceed $1 billion annually, and it has more than 700 locations in 10 Southwestern and Southern states (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas). The campaign also marks an expansion of the chain's multicultural marketing, with Spanish-language TV and radio efforts that are not translations of the English creative, but separate creative featuring Spanish-speaking customers and employees, designed to capture Hispanic culture. In addition, the campaign will expand Whataburger's digital media and mobile marketing presences, via interactive ads on Hulu and Facebook. "Harnessing the latest capabilities available in digital marketing allows us to bring [the] personal interaction to a whole new generation of customers," notes Scheffler. The chain also has a Twitter presence.
