Quizno's - A Spong Monkey Revolution

Friday, February 20, 2004 02: 47 PM

Quizno's new capaign is a great departure from the same old craptastic promotions coming from most marketing agencies.

Talked to a Quizno's manager about the commercials last week. She had mixed feelings. She told me she was at a salon and an asian girl doing her nails said, "rats and food...no good. No good!"

I personally love the campaign though, even if it isn't the best combination of elements (rodents and food). It's just so offbeat, crazy and totally unexpected that it makes you go WTF in a good way.

And people are talking about it, which of course equals more free press for Quizno's. Matt just sent me these links: Plus, how can you beat their other promo. Bring in ANY coupon for anything and get $1 off a sub. Makes me want to go out and find totally bizarre coupons to turn in.
