Panda Express

However You Panda

Agency: The Many

Description

While Panda Express is a notable player in the QSR domain, a pivotal opportunity lies in converting its widespread recognition into increased brand consideration to achieve incremental business growth. In partnership with The Many, The Many Studios, and Pal8 Media, Panda Express unfurls the “However You Panda” campaign. This initiative brings media insights and in-market digital strategy to the forefront of a traditionally siloed creative process, working symbolically to redefine the Panda Express story and engagement trajectory.

Crafting a Cohesive Brand Narrative through ‘Connections’:
"However You Panda" represents a new zenith in brand storytelling, illuminating the essence of Connections. In this bespoke approach, brand resonance, media insights, and social strategy converge, unveiling a refined method of brand expression in the market. Whether it's the allure of a billboard, the engagement of a social media post, or the resonance of a TVC, every component is woven into the fabric of the brand’s narrative, forging a brand experience that not only meets but exceeds industry expectations, aimed at closing the gap between awareness and consideration for the brand. .

An Elevated Cultural Experience Rooted in Reality:
“However You Panda” isn’t merely a showcase of dishes; it plunges into the diner's tangible moments with the brand over savoring the food. Beyond their offerings, the campaign accentuates the seemingly personal tactile experiences tied to Panda Express's dishes. Imagine the tangy splash of the Original Orange Chicken®, the creamy decadence of Honey Walnut Shrimp, the robust savoriness of Broccoli Beef, or the hearty bite of Black Pepper Angus Steak, each bite inviting a flood of memories and experiences. It's about the genuine, unscripted moments: the inadvertent spill of sweet and sour sauce staining your shirt, the playful squabble over the last Cream Cheese Rangoon, or the warm act of sharing Veggie Spring Rolls with your daughter. These instances aren’t just about enjoying a meal; they're about creating and reliving memories, thereby deepening the connection with Panda Express.
