Caveats

  1. Davis conducted some light research before we riffed this strategy, ideally we’d have more client research
  2. We didn’t have any information about the target audience going in to this so had to make a couple of leaps.

Dos Toros background

Started in New York City in 2009 by two brothers from Berkley, CA

  • Grew up loving “Mission Style” Mexican from SF, but were challenged to find a burrito up to par in NYC.
  • Mission style burrito originated in the 1960’s in San Francisco’s Mission district and is characterized by its large size and inclusion of extra rice, guacamole and vegetables. Tortillas are steamed and wrapped in foil allowing it to better stay together and be easier to take on the go.
  • Compared to other popular NYC lunch options,, Dos Toros offer bigger, bolder flavors.

Office lunch rush optimized

Their first location was in Union Square and they’ve expanded to 17 locations in New York and 4 in Chicago.

  • They churn people quickly through their locations and have minimal seating, which fits NYC’s on the go office lunch culture.
  • Strategically located within a 4 block radius of some of the busiest lunch areas in New York, allowing them to be reasonable options for most working New Yorkers.

TARGET

Professional Explorers

Most professional NYC office workers live an active lifestyle, loving to explore the city and surrounds, up for new foods and exploring new places.

When it comes to food they are health conscious but don’t sacrifice on taste.

TARGET

Explorers to Office Drones

But Monday to Friday they go on auto, where exploration is the last thing on their mind, preferring the safety of routine, of long salad lines and bland food.

COMMS PLANNING STRATEGY

Trigger the Drones

Need to wake up our auto office drones. Find moments in their monotonous routine where we can throw some habanero sauce on their drone brains, and get their inner explorer calling the lunch shots.
