The brief

Drive awareness and trial of A&W's $1 Coffee — and win the morning coffee decision.

Two audience strategies, one offer. Start focused on the value & coffee consumer in the GTA, or scale to broad proximity reach across Ontario. Both run within 2 km of A&W locations and include FTA measurement.

Option A · Targeted — GTA + audience

Value & Coffee Consumers

Built around audiences that over-index on value-seeking and coffee behaviours — opting for brands on sale, hunting the lowest prices, spending more carefully, always chasing special offers, recent coffee drinkers, and 5+ monthly coffee-shop visits. 135 GTA buildings within 2 km of A&W.

Option B · Ontario-wide reach

Broad Proximity Reach

Maximum coverage for the offer — every audience within 2 km of an A&W across Ontario, from the GTA to Ottawa, London, Kingston and beyond. 333 buildings, 757 screens, plus 15% bonus impressions.

Dayparting

$1 Coffee is a morning decision.

So delivery is weighted hard into the breakfast window — concentrated when commuters are choosing where to grab their coffee, then sustained through the day to stay top of mind.

The morning rush
60–70% of impressions

land in the 6–9 AM morning coffee rush.

The remaining 30–40% runs 9 AM–5 PM to maintain presence. The split is managed programmatically and tuned in-flight against live delivery data.

Real-time optimization & measurement

We optimize live — not after the flight.

FTAFree

Foot-traffic attribution measures incremental in-store visits to A&W driven by the campaign, reported across both flights.

Simple Reallocation

Spend shifts between buildings, screens and markets in-flight; underperformers are paused and budget reweights to the strongest screens.

Dayparting

60–70% of impressions run in the 6–9 AM rush, the rest across 9 AM–5 PM; hourly weighting tuned live.

Dynamic creative

"$1 Coffee" messaging can fire on conditions such as cold weather or time-of-day to lift relevance.

Live dashboard

Impressions, pacing and screen-level delivery in one view, so we react within the flight.

Front-loaded launch

~33% of each flight's impressions land in Week 1 for maximum launch impact — adjustable to suit strategy.
