Introducing an Entirely New Craveable Dish

Introduce a new wok-fired dish, Sizzling Shrimp, highlighting the high quality ingredients. Get guests to see Sizzling Shrimp as an entirely new dish from Panda Express that forms an unexpected and new craving.

A Sea of Opportunity:

With shrimp being the #1 seafood in America and 70% of US consumers enjoying trying new experiences, including food discovery, there’s an opportunity to illustrate the layers of joy and happiness in each perfect bite of Sizzling Shrimp.

A Mouth-Watering Social Activation

Introduce Sizzling Shrimp to the world with a series of immersive, mouthwatering moments with a focus on the joyful guest experience. An evolution from previous product-focused campaigns for Panda Express, this focus on the guest experience unlocks a new way to connect to guests, showcasing the sensory experience with Sizzling Shrimp. Additional buzz and sales were generated by leveraging a cultural moment, NCAA’s March Madness, with a real-time social activation, Sizzling Streaks.

iSpot: Breakthrough Award Winner

This consumer-insight focused campaign earned the iSpot Breakthrough Award with strong ad recall rates, exceeded sales goals, and drove incremental purchases. Both awareness and guest satisfaction were higher than typical new product campaigns for Panda Express. Sizzling Streaks built excitement and drew engagement, both through organic social and influencer content.
