Domino's Pizza: the most creative brand in the world!
Ingredients 2 cups of Boldness 1 cup of Technology 1/3 cup of Humanness 3 tablespoons of Risk 2 teaspoons of Culture

Directions Deloitte Digital CMO, Mark Singer’s “Creativity as a force for growth” article explains how high growth brands are more likely to view creative ideas as essential to long term success and are more likely to create an environment that supports creative thinking by encouraging risk-taking and cross-functional collaboration.
Directions cont. Leaders at Domino’s Pizza embraced creativity through risk-taking and proving that they are more than just a pizza company. After disrupting the industry and rising to the top of global pizza chains, former Domino’s CEO, Patrick Doyle, stated, “we are as much a tech company as we are a pizza company” and the Vice President, Global Infrastructure and Enterprise Information Management said, “we’ve become an e-commerce company that sells pizza.” Domino’s transformed their reputation to go from being the butt of jokes and investors’ worst nightmare to becoming the largest pizza chain the world, thanks to creative digital marketing and leveraging new technology. In the mid-2000s, Domino’s was facing a serious image problem and in response they unleashed their bold, “Oh yes we did,” campaign. The campaign featured critical reviews of their pizza with customers saying, “worst pizza I’ve ever had,” “the sauce tastes like ketchup,” and “the crust tastes like cardboard.” Paired with this candid campaign, Domino’s CEO said he would “work days and nights” to ensure the pizza got better and that he would open a Domino’s location in Italy. Which can be considered the ultimate test for a pizza chain. Domino’s candidness resonated with customers, building loyalty and trust that contributed to a 32% increase in sales. Dominos also disrupted the pizza industry through their investment in new technology that unlocked new ways to connect with customers. For example, as social media was on the rise, Domino’s created the interactive social campaign, “Think Oven.” The campaign encouraged participants to submit opinions and insights on a Facebook page. Posts that garnered the most attention received a monetary prize and were implemented at Domino’s. In 2013, Domino’s launched “Pizza Profiles”, a feature that allows consumers to save their favorite pizzas in an online profile. The profiles were integrated with technology that introduced customers to new ways of ordering and checking order statues. Pizza can be ordered through unique experiences such as the Domino’s app, Twitter, texting an emoji, Facebook Messenger, Google Assistant, Alexa, Ford vehicles, Apple Watches, and Smart TVs. Domino’s was also the first pizza company to launch an online delivery tracker and voice ordering app. Today, Domino’s is levering AI to continue to transform how they resonate with customers and meet their evolving needs. For example, they are currently partnering with Ford to test out robotic delivery, drone delivery, and a “purpose-built pizza-delivery vehicle.” Domino’s is also using AI interfacing and cameras to bake the perfect pizzas with real-time predictions.

A note from the executive chef, US Adobe Alliance Leader, Mike Church To The Cannes Lions Academy Selection Committee, I am writing to strongly recommend Lilah Maguire for the Cannes Lions Brand Marketers Academy. In my role as the National leader for our Alliance with the Adobe Corporation, one of the largest across the entire Deloitte Digital practice, I have had the pleasure of working with Lilah on multiple strategic initiatives spanning sales, marketing, practice growth, and overall go-to-market programs. She has been a vital asset to our team this year and a key player in rebuilding our Alliance marketing team from scratch. From day one, Lilah brought enthusiasm and value to the team by consistently raising her hand to take ownership of projects within marketing as well as across the alliance. Lilah was a major contributor to Deloitte's Digital's successful sponsorship of Adobe Summit 2023, having coled many aspects of the planning process and execution of all our branded activations at the conference, including one of the largest “premiere sponsor” booths with interactive demos, speaking sessions, industry receptions, and onsite client meetings. The event was a huge success for our Alliance, and we could not have successfully executed without her. One aspect that truly sets Lilah apart from her peers is her drive to take on work above her current level and consistently deliver outstanding results. I am especially impressed by her creativity and exceptional work ethic. These qualities not only fuel Lilah’s passion to create great outputs, but have also inspired her teammates to lean in harder as we develop new creative marketing strategies for each specific industry team within our Adobe Alliance. Thank you for your consideration of Lilah for the Cannes Lions Academy. I am excited about the potential opportunity for her to attend the academy and bring back fresh, creative ideas to share with the entire Alliance. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Mike Church Managing Director | U.S. Adobe Alliance Leader Deloitte Digital
