🍔 Why Does Burger King Keep Betting On Anime Collabs?
Burger King’s latest special menu collaboration is with…the anime franchise One Piece!
Simultaneously, Burger King is also doing a collab with anime franchise Naruto. A few months ago, they had a collab with anime franchise My Hero Academia.
So why does Burger King keep tapping into anime IP?
1. Global & Local Passion — Anime has moved from niche culture to mainstream culture, especially with worldwide Millennial and Gen-Z fanbases.
2. Culture & Lifestyle — Anime isn’t just about watching TV series, but living a lifestyle, with distinct communities and culture that’s embraced by a very diverse audience that bleeds over into sports, music, and entertainment.
3. Financial Success — Most of all, these anime collabs must really be working for Burger King financially in order for them to keep launching new ones.
