What does Wendys do at a glance

How does Wendys handle its social posts

Ride the launch everyone is waiting for
Wendy's

1. Ride the launch everyone is waiting for

Comparing its launch to the most awaited game on the internet hands Wendy's a joke every gamer gets, and the date makes it a real launch instead of a meme.

  1. Find the launch your audience is waiting for
  2. Frame yours against it in one line
  3. Give your own release date
  4. Keep your brand voice

Add your signature jab to the news of the day
Wendy's

2. Add your signature jab to the news of the day

The joke needs no setup. People were stuck with a frozen inbox, and frozen beef is the jab Wendy's keeps aiming at McDonald's, so one shared word ties the news to the brand's oldest line.

  1. Write down the one line your brand always says
  2. Watch for news that shares a word with it
  3. Use a format anyone reads in a second, like a Venn diagram
  4. Post while the news is still live, with no caption
