YO!
Maki Me Laugh
The Challenge
YO!’s iconic conveyor belt to engage Gen Z and drive store traffic.
With the pandemic halting operations, YO! needed to relaunch its conveyor belt while capturing the attention of Gen Z and creating a joyful dining experience amidst a national decline in happiness.
The Solution
YO! introduced “YO! Maki Me Laugh” during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, using laughter-detecting technology to power the belt. The campaign featured live comedy from TikTok star Maddy Lucy Dann, alongside user-generated content and influencer partnerships.
The Results:
The campaign significantly boosted YO!'s brand affinity and footfall. The campaign generated:
