Burger King has launched its new campaign that aims to “confuse” meat lovers with an optical illusion.
The global campaign, called “Meat?”, created by David Madrid, features an enlarged photo of a plant-based meat substitute with the slogan, “Sorry for the confusion, meat lovers”.
According to the executive creative director, André Toledo, the agency challenged a food photographer to photograph vegetables in a way that resembled meat. “The idea was to create ads that make people wonder, ‘Wait, is this meat or is this a plant?’” Toledo added, according to AdNews.
“At Burger King, our plant-based products often look, taste and feel like real meat, but many customers are skeptical. We wanted to bring a visually powerful message that makes you reconsider that not everything in life is what it seems,” explained Iwo Zakowski, Burger King’s head of global brand marketing, in a statement.
The campaign will run in markets in Germany, Costa Rica, Mexico and Brazil.
