Pizza Hut HK pushes boundaries of pizza exploration in latest 'Snakes' campaign
share on
As the snake soup season approaches, Pizza Hut Hong Kong and local snake restaurant Ser Wong Fun (蛇王芬) have pushed the boundaries of pizza exploration in the latest "Beware of Snakes" (蛇出沒注意) campaign.
The campaign comes along with the launch of Pizza Hut Hong Kong's two new special pizzas, including snake soup pizza and double flavour preserved sausage pizza, as part of its Autumn menu, presenting a harmonious fusion of Chinese and Western culinary elements.
Done in collaboration with local creative agency Uth Creative, the "Beware of Snakes" campaign taps into the innate human fascination with fear and curiosity, aiming to dare consumers to bravely explore new flavours.
The campaign commences with a compelling key visual that employs an illustrative approach, skilfully blending the element of fear associated with snakes alongside Pizza Hut's signature brand elements.

To spark interest on social media, the concept of a mystery box is introduced, enclosing two exclusive pizzas for media tastings prior to the official launch. This unique packaging not only provides an element of surprise but also builds anticipation as media outlets unwrap and unveil the hidden flavours within.

To amplify the campaign's buzz, Pizza Hut has planned a series of social media posts such as giveaways, Cantonese slangs that are related to snakes and limited-time offers.

A check by MARKETING-INTERACTIVE saw on Facebook that the campaign has gained attention and interest among netizens. While some said they were interested in trying the snake pizza, some said they thought it was an April Fools’ Day campaign.
