This document outlines two creative concepts for a PR campaign for Biscuitville, a Southern biscuit restaurant chain, focusing on promoting fresh and healthy menu options to families.
The first concept focuses on community involvement and pushing Biscuitville's values. Sample creatives showcase families and community engagement. The promotion plan includes a Biscuitville Bunch website and in-store activities.
The second concept targets health-conscious families and emphasizes maintaining Southern quality while keeping options fresh. Sample menu boards showcase whole-food options. The launch is planned for April 9th and includes advertising, community events, and evaluation.
