Bringing the heat to the QSR social media battlefield on a value meal-sized budget.

Burger King is practically social media royalty – in the US, that is. In Singapore, it boasts zero street cred, cast adrift in a sea of bland tactical promotions and seasonal menus while being overshadowed by usurpers armed with million-dollar budgets and a new wave of foreign adversaries.
