In a fast-paced, fast-food world, finding that one little TWIST to make your product stand out is pivotal to gaining attention and building brand interest.

Take a Cartier box, who’s brand signature red color immediately gains your attention and signifies there is something wonderful to be found inside – twist it with a burger – and you get Burger King’s Red Whopper. In a sea of endless beige and brown burgers, Burger King Japan, with a limited budget and a R&D and marketing team of only five people, came up with a little twist that packed a big punch – color. Four years ago they successfully launched a “Black Burger”.

This year, they wanted to shake things up a bit, and launched a limited edition Red Burger – which was a red version of the “Angry Whopper”.  Says Burger King Japan’s general manager of business management Masanori Tatsuiwa, “We’re not using any creative agencies for these products. And this way we don’t need any big money to expand our awareness in the market.” “We thought making it red would make people curious and express the hot taste.” (AdAge)

And right they were. Before the product even launched, more than 150 headlines in English alone appeared in a Google search right out of the gate.

You don’t need a big budget or need to reinvent the wheel. It only takes the willingness to give a little twist a try. Just like Burger King did, your business can introduce a simple twist to stay fresh and current.
