PR 524 Midterm

A campaign for Subway

In January 2024, Subway dropped the Subway Footlong Cookie as part of the Footlong Snacking platform after over 2 years of development. It all started as a dream to level up the annual National Cookie Day initiative where Subway rewarded the fans for being passionate fans the beloved Subway cookie. Subway first debuted four varieties of Footlong cookies on National Cookie Day in 2022 that were inspired by new Subway Series subs —The Subway Cookie Club, The MexiCali, The Monster, and The Great Pickle.

This midterm project aims to introduce the footlong cookie to the Gen Z in order to increase afternoon/late night traffic, drive reconsideration of Subway as a destination that offers products people crave, and drive cultural relevance among GenZ and show up where they are.
