Case 4-1 Doritos Crashes the Super Bowl

Overview

Imagine a brand taking a risk so daring that Las Vegas set odds on whether it would pay off. That brand is Doritos. With a motto “go big or go home,” Doritos pioneered and proved the power of consumer-created content by boldly airing fan-made Super Bowl spots in 2007 and 2008. Both ads placed No. 4 in USA Today’s prestigious ad meter, which ranks Super Bowl ads from most to least favorite. But, this year, Doritos elevated the stakes, taking a chance on its consumers that could lead to unprecedented success or a significant letdown. Doritos put up $1 million for the fan whose home-made Doritos Super Bowl ad could trump Madison Avenue and become the first-ever user-generated commercial to take the top spot in USA Today’s ad meter. No brand, even with the backing of top-notch ad agencies, had been able to beat Budweiser for the No. 1 ranking for the past decade. Could a Doritos fan actually dethrone the king? With millions in broadcast advertising dollars and the brand’s reputation at stake, public relations served a lead role in driving high-quality submissions and strong ROI. The PR strategy turned what could have been only a one-week news cycle into six months of coverage that drove entries and overall awareness of the David vs. Goliath moments on Super Bowl Sunday and the next day, when USA Today revealed Doritos was No. 1, turning the unemployed winners into millionaires and media darlings overnight.
