Just in time for cookie selling season, Dunkin’ Donuts delivers coffee flavors inspired by Girl Scout Cookies®: Thin Mints®, Coconut Caramel, and Peanut Butter Cookie! What is more iconic than the combination of America’s favorite coffees and America’s nostalgic cookies? For a limited time customers can enjoy both together to fuel the go-getter in them.

Executed an integrated 360-degree campaign that garnered over 1.9 billion national media impressions across over 212 media pick-ups and over 270 million social impressions. Tactics included in-store POP takeover; Dunkin’s first-ever product reveal on Facebook Live; broad-reach video on television and Google Preferred; organic and paid social media content; sponsored partnerships with theSkimm, Brit + Co, Cheddar, Waze, Fohr influencers; digital banners; radio; and out-of-home including the screen on One Times Square (yes, the building that’s focal to the beloved New Year’s Eve ball drop festivities).

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is more than the cookies—it is an experience for girls to learn essential life skills like goal setting, money management and people skills. Sharing the entrepreneurial spirit, franchisees welcome local Girl Scouts troops to sell cookies at Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants across the country. Dunkin’ hosted over 4,000 cookie booths over four weekends in February. 

The program drove +3.3% incremental sales lift and +2.3% sales comp lift in the coffee category.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ customers can customize their coffee and espresso beverages with delicious flavors every day! On top of four always available flavors—caramel, mocha, French vanilla, hazelnut—Dunkin’ releases limited-time assortments throughout the year that are trend right and seasonally relevant.

A rotation of Baskin-Robbins ice cream inspired flavors have made it onto Dunkin’s menu for multiple years. This time, thinking ahead for next summer, Dunkin’ asked America to vote for their favorite Baskin-Robbins inspired flavor that they hope to see again. Five flavor options included butter pecan, cookie dough, pistachio, rocky road and Jamoca® almond fudge.

Executed a voting program across Dunkin’s social media platforms. Consumers casted their votes between Monday, August 21st through Friday, August 25th by commenting on Dunkin’s pinned posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Plus, on Friday only consumers also voted by using one of five Snapchat geofilters available at all Dunkin’ locations nationwide. The top favorite flavors were announced the week after on Thursday August 31st.

After tallying over 27 thousand votes, the top three fan favorite Baskin-Robbins ice cream inspired flavors were: cookie dough, pistachio and butter pecan! Over 5.5 million engagements were generated across the social platforms including Facebook shares, Instagram likes, Twitter retweets and Snapchat swipes. Additional impressions were made by earning coverage with product deliveries to Cosmopolitan and PopSugar, as well as broader media outreach.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ “Summer of Coffee” campaign encouraged everyone to make the most of summer by staying energized with America’s favorite coffee. Summer days may be long but the season is short, so tackle that summer bucket list with a refreshing iced coffee in hand. Dunkin’s summer line up of flavors included ice cream inspired butter pecan, campfire classic s’mores and sweetly delightful coconut crème pie. These three flavors were available in Dunkin’s full assortment of hot, iced and frozen coffees and espresso beverages.

Sponsored the “Pitch to Pilot” program in partnership with New Form and TBS Digital at the eighth annual VidCon, the world’s largest video convention where brands and influencers gather to network and learn about the content space. Creators had the opportunity to pitch ideas for a series that would include a Dunkin’ product integration. Dunkin’ along with New Form and TBS Digital evaluated the top ten of two hundred entries to become a pilot produced by New Form.

Collaborated to design a Creator’s Lounge that fostered a fun interactive environment with a photo booth, live stage and rest and relax areas. Dunkin’ kept guests fueled with complimentary iced coffee, cold brew coffee and Frozen Dunkin’ Coffee available in the three summer flavors. Dunkin’ also surprised and delighted attendees throughout the entire convention by randomly giving away gift cards and colorful koozies. Approximately 10 thousand people visited the Creator’s Lounge to fuel up during the “Summer of Coffee.”

"'VidCon is one of the biggest gatherings for creators in the content space,' said Kathleen Grace, CEO of New Form, 'and is the perfect venue to identify, connect and engage with the upcoming generation of storytellers.'" (Adweek)
