bb.q Chicken
situation
With over 2,500 locations in South Korea, bb.q Chicken enjoyed a cult-like following fueled by K-pop and K-drama partnerships, but had little brand recognition in the U.S. To succeed, the brand needed to break into a crowded fried chicken market dominated by established competitors.
solution
MGH introduced bb.q Chicken to U.S. audiences by celebrating its Korean heritage while building local relevance. We developed a bold new brand voice and tagline: “Real Crispy. Real Korean” and launched multi-channel campaigns across social, digital, PR, and influencer marketing to bridge cultures and drive trial.
results
bb.q Chicken has since surpassed Bonchon in U.S. store count and become one of the fastest-growing restaurant franchises nationwide, achieving coast-to-coast expansion and significant gains in brand awareness.
