   July 15, 2007

2. Briefly describe this entry’s communications objectives and how it met those objectives (up to 100 words):

   This campaign was the launching point for Wingstop's billion-wing campaign. 
   They hit the billion-wing mark in June of this year. The company celebrated the 
   landmark with this series of three commericials which gave credit to two 
   things, 1.) their nine proprietary flavors, and 2.) the wing fanatics that are 
   so loyal to their favorite flavors. Nine zeroes in one billion (1,000,000,000) 
   and nine Wingstop wing flavors -- coincidence? Wingstop thinks not.
