KFC Thailand will celebrate Chinese New Year with ‘Fried Chicken Scent Incense, Colonel’s Recipe’. This means you can smell KFC’s 11 herbs and spices when you burn the fried chicken incense.

“Pak Wansiri” CCO of Wunderman Thompson Thailand tells Marketing Oops! that this idea arises from the fact that to pay homage to the gods every year, incense sticks must be lit with sacred objects But what can we do to bring the brand into the culture to capture people’s attention through an important Seasoning like Chinese New Year? It must create a meaning in the style of KFC, which must be extraordinary and excite the Colonel’s fans as well.

In addition, another very difficult Is to make the texture of the incense come out like fried chicken. Which must be coated with 3 layers and crumbled to look like a real chicken. Most importantly, everything is handmade, with creations that make this incense organic to make “Fried Chicken Smell Incense, Colonel’s Formula ” Realistic, both the smell of the chicken and the appearance. It’s a job that’s very intentional.
