"Movember King" was conceptualised and executed by creative digital agency Code and Theory.The campaign video showcases The King sporting different moustaches named after Burger King's food items, such as "The Whopper Bun", "The Rodeo King" and "The CROSSAN'WICH".

One netizen even commented "Why eat like a clown when you can dine like a king?"Burger King also took a dig at McDonald's during the special pre-premiere screening of the movie IT in Germany, which saw the phrase "The moral is: never trust a clown" pop up on the screen before the end credits. The idea was conceptualised by German-based creative agency Grabarz & Partner, according to Adweek.Closer to home, Burger King Singapore recently partnered with Havas Media, The Idea Laboratory and Mediacorp OOH Media to launch a campaign to promote its Burger King Stackers.
