Create a promotion that boosts relevance and awareness among the target
consumer group. The integrated campaign included: 

Online: Consumers had the opportunity to create a Doritos commercial to air
unedited during the Super Bowl. While viral websites delivered the casting-call
to Doritos enthusiasts, Crashthesuperbowl.com became the place where consumers could view and vote on the ads.

PR: Focused on generating awareness and driving traffic to
CrashtheSuperBowl.com. The finalists became spokespersons for their creativity
and the brand. 

In-store: Call-to-action on packaging and POS.

TV: Voting was so close, two ads aired during the game. Following the game,
Doritos aired the five finalist ads, kicking off the first consumer generated
national ad campaign.
