Brilliant Burger King Ads Feature Actual BK Restaurants That Burnt Down Because of Flame Grilling

A new campaign from DAVID the agency out of Miami features a series of actual fires at Burger King restaurants that are implied to have occurred because of their flame-broil grill. The images of the BK lounges feature building engulfed in flames, paired brilliantly with the simple slogan, “Flame Grilled Since 1954”.

A Ham Take

There are few things more powerful in advertising than a self-aware brand that’s willing to take risks. David knocked it out of the park with this self-deprecating piece. What better way to remind people that Burger King actually flame-broils its burgers than featuring the laughable human side to the equation: disaster. This is a big win for David, and for Burger King.
