QDOBA SEATTLE:
Beyond Traditional Kicks Off
'Ultimate Tailgating Experience'

The Sept. 25th home opener was a victory for both the Seattle Seahawks and Beyond Traditional's client Qdoba.

 

The Beyond Traditional team was on-site at CenturyLink Field to launch Qdoba's Ultimate Tailgating Experience. Our tailgating tent was completely packed with excited Seahawks fans noshing on free samples of Qdoba's chips and Queso and sipping beverages from Coca-Cola. While filling up, fans watched pre-game coverage on four flat screen, plasma TVs, powered-up their phones at our mobile charging stations, taunted friends who weren't there on Facebook at our social stations and enjoyed free swag--including ticket-holding lanyards and Qdoba Rewards Cards loaded with another order of free chips and Queso to use in store.

 

Over 1,100 samples of chips and Queso and 600 lanyards were handed out during the three-hour tailgating experience. The next home game is expected to draw even more crowds as Qdoba continues its search for Seattle's Ultimate Tailgating Dish; the cook-off competition puts local tailgate chefs to the 'ultimate' test to prove whose recipe most exemplifies Qdoba's core values: Fresh, grilled and fun. The winning team will be awarded free Qdoba catering for a crowd for the Big Game on Feb. 5.

 

Look for the Q-Cruiser in the northwest corner of CenturyLink Field at each Seahawks home game until Dec. 12. For more information, or to find pictures from each event, visit www.facebook.com/ThinkBT or read the press release

SEATTLE GOODWILL:
Social Media Triumph for College Sale

 winnerwinner goodwillgiftcard goodwillline

For its annual Back to College Discount Day sale, Seattle Goodwill called upon Beyond Traditional to help harness the power of social media and make this year's event a huge success.

 

For the sale on Sept. 28, Seattle Goodwill planned to offer students 30 percent off their entire purchase when they shopped in-store, at any of the 20 Seattle Goodwill locations, and showed their student ID card. To raise awareness of the spectacular discount, the Beyond Traditional team worked extensively to promote the event through social media outreach & advertising, guerilla flyer postings, brand ambassador campus coverage and strategic placement of the Goodwill glass showroom truck. 

 

At four, select locations (chosen to target students at the University of Washington, Seattle University, Seattle Pacific University and Western Washington University), Seattle Goodwill set up raffles for Goodwill gift cards worth anywhere between $5 and $100. Between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sept. 28, a drawing occurred every 15 minutes for Goodwill gift cards. 

 

To promote the raffle, a "College Students Save!" tab was installed on the Seattle Goodwill Facebook fan page. Visitors were prompted to increase their odds of winning the $100 gift card by printing out an additional five raffle tickets. Thanks to targeted Facebook advertising and a compelling fan page tab, the Seattle Goodwill Facebook fan page saw an increase of 82 'likes' in only two weeks. By the end of the campaign, the targeted Facebook ads had generated over 740 clicks.

 

Hype among students for this exclusive sale was enormous and crowds swarmed each of the four participating Goodwill stores where the gift card raffles were held. To see more photos from the sale, visit  www.facebook.com/SeattleGoodwill

QDOBA CHICAGO:
Big Success For Queso Quest 

sidetruck  freequeso   raincrowd

Fresh off of the success of recent food truck-based, alternative campaigns for Yahoo! Studios and Jack in the Box, Beyond Traditional was called upon by Qdoba Chicago and Amalgamated to commandeer a popular Chicago food truck and manage all logistics pertaining to the mobile aspect of the 'Queso Quest.' Beyond Traditional was tasked to outfit the truck with a full, branded wrap, and coordinate all staffing and scheduling for the city-wide tour.  

  

Captaining the truck was Chicago comedian Joey Dundale. His mission was to spread his love of Qdoba's deliciously addictive three-cheese Queso to the Chicago masses. Over three weeks, Joey and the Queso truck made stops in six different cities in-and-around the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area. While in Chicago, Joey visited some of the city's most iconic landmarks-including Soldier Field, Chase Tower, Union Station and the Magnificent Mile.

 

The Queso Quest truck tour came to an end on Sept. 14; over the course of the campaign, 9,550 samples of chips and Queso, 5,425 Qdoba Chicago coupons and 2,100 menus were handed out to consumers.
