Best Restaurant Website

The Challenge:
Drive traffic to Quiznos through an online coupon promotion for their new Lobster Sub.

The Solution:
When we discovered the lobstering tradition of throwing back some of every catch to protect the lobster fishery (and bring good luck), that's when we discovered our solution: Quiznos would throw back some lobsters too. So we assembled a lobster tank, rescued our first lobster, named Larry, and streamed a live video feed to loneliestlobster.com. On the site, we gave visitors complete control. The more coupon downloads, Facebook "likes" and tweets we received, the more lobsters we rescued and sent home to the cold waters of Maine.

Results:
• The average viewer spent 7 minutes watching the live stream
• Total viewer minutes: 1.1 million
• Average time on site: 7 minutes
• Total streams: 170,000
• Total coupon downloads, Facebook "likes" and tweets: 150,000
• Same-store sales reached a 4-year high
• Lobsters rescued: 4 (10 including stunt lobsters)
• Miles traveled: 3000 + (From Maine to the Midwest and back again to Maine)
