Resorts World Genting Brings K-Drama Flavour to Burger & Lobster’s Comeback
At Resorts World Genting (RWG), food has always been an experience that brings people together. With the launch of 'Fusion Flavours Meet K-Drama Vibes', RWG and dentsu Malaysia have delivered a media playbook that turned Burger & Lobster’s comeback into more than a dining offer, but a stage where flavour meets storytelling and cravings turn into connections.
Since its arrival in 2016, Burger & Lobster quickly became a name associated with destination dining but buzz dimmed post-pandemic. As RWG remained a beacon where leisure, travel, and culture converge, it embraced an opportunity to script its next chapter with the F&B icon, one designed to capture new audiences, ignite conversations, and reaffirm the destination as a hotpot built for cravings and connection.
The campaign leaned into 'crave culture', going beyond menus to craft moments where food is the theatre. While chefs served lobsters, dentsu Malaysia built a multi-layered media strategy, tapping into the rising influence of K-culture that Malaysians love, and digital-first experiences to transform appetite into anticipation, regaining attention, driving traffic, and repositioning the brand as a hub for food lovers:
- Tease and Tempt: Cinematic short-form reels captured the drama of indulgence, with molten pours, sizzling plates and visual moments designed to stir desire
- Dominate and Drive: Partnerships with food publishers (KL Foodie, Rojak Daily), and K-culture influencer, Tara Choi, and travel content creators, who carried the tale into every corner of the digital crowd
- Always-On Integration: Branded storytelling amplified across OOH at SkyAvenue and GHPO cable car stations, created real-life moments that turned everyday journeys into touchpoints of intrigue
- Promotions with Urgency: A sizzling -60% launch offer, timed with publisher pushes, that pulled audiences from screen to seats.
Spencer Lee, executive vice president, sales, marketing and public relations, Resorts World Genting, commented, “Just like a great K-drama, Burger & Lobster’s return is filled with anticipation, surprise, and flavour. That was our inspiration in bringing it back into the spotlight, creating an experience that is as binge-worthy as it is delicious, reaffirming Resorts World Genting as the destination where culture, flavour and entertainment come together.”
Gillian Chan, director, client leadership, Dentsu Media Malaysia, commented, “Working with RWG was like writing a hit drama side by side, with a finale that leaves the audience already waiting for the next season.”
This campaign went beyond traditional media buying. It was a true co-creation where publishers became storytellers, influencers became advocates, and every channel became a stage for cultural storytelling.
