Past Image • First Franchised in 1959 • All-American traditional, quality, home cooked family fast food restaurant that serves delicious homemade fried chicken
•
Up until the early 1990’s, consumers identified with this comfort food and provided little friction towards the high-calorie and high in trans fat food • Over the last two decades consumers have become more concerned with their health and more sensitive about the negative effects of this type of fast food PAST
PRESENT
KFC’s Past Images •
Colonel Sander’s iconic face, remained relatively constant minus a few tweaks
•
Colonel Sander’s image came to symbolize quality in the food industry
•
Keeping the logo similar, but changing the name helped keep a familiar image associated with quality home cooking while removing the concept that their product was unhealthy
KFC’S New Logo • This malleable image has been reconstructed five times in the past five decades to identify with the times • Every time the Colonel’s image was updated it always maintained the defining elements of his image such as his thick glasses, goatee and southern style string tie
Credibility? •
KFC has strong brand awareness around the name and logo but has had issues with credibility
•
2003- Commercial suggesting that fried chicken is the cornerstone of a healthy diet “KFC is healthier than a BK Whopper!”
•
Press Release on KFC website stating, that “fried chicken can be part of a healthy, balanced diet
•
The American public didn’t fall for the healthy fried chicken gimmick. The campaign was a failure and did not reflect KFC in a good light
Credibility? • In 2004, KFC commercials began saying the phrase, “Kitchen Fresh Chicken” • This never caught on because KFC was already branded to the consumers as Kentucky Fried Chicken FRESH Chicken
FRIED Chicken
UNFRIED, UNTHINK • KFC introduced their new UNFried menu item on April 27, 2009 • Kentucky Grilled Chicken (KGC) • KFC’s latest attempt to adapt to the recent trends and attitudes towards health, involves another major revision to the name
This name change creates a more vivid reality for their consumers. It provides the consumer an option to choose between the fried or grilled chicken.
Pseudo-Event • April 27th was “UNFry Day” • KFC offered 2 free pieces of Kentucky Grilled Chicken to all consumers • This pseudo-event received nationwide publicity
“UNFry Day”
Fried Vs. Grilled
Kentucky Fried: 480 Calories 28 grams fat 6.5 grams saturated fat Kentucky Grilled: 250 Calories 8 grams fat 2 grams saturated fat KGC has as 50 percent fewer calories and half the sodium, and up to two-thirds less fat than KFC's fried chicken

Print Ads • KFC had numerous print ads with the launch of KGC • Print ads had coupons for Kentucky Grilled Chicken • Print ad and coupons could be found in local newspapers, magazines and coupon flyer booklets
Oprah and KFC
“Pseudo events spawn other pseudo-events in geometric progression.” – Boorstin • May 5, 2009 Oprah promoted Kentucky Grilled Chicken on her show by featuring coupons on the Oprah.com
Oprah and KFC • As a result, Oprah Winfrey KFC coupons was the fifth most-searched item on Google Trends by Wednesday afternoon, hours after it had been posted • Millions of coupons were downloaded, and lines of customers were waiting outside KFC restaurants from coast to coast • Many franchises had to turn people away because they ran out of KGC
