By Burger King
Advertiser :

Implemented strategy
- burger king encouraged fans to ‘burn’ the adverts of rival fast food chains using a new augmented reality app that sees billboards engulfed in flames.
- Mobile users should download Burger King’s mobile application. By pointing smartphone’s camera at the print, coupon or billboard ads from Burger King’s rival like Mcdonalds’s, they will see digital images of the ads on fire, by augmented reality, then receive a free Whopper at the nearest Burger King restaurant.
