The Challenge

Each year, nearly 1.1 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. To raise awareness, Burger King partnered with the Movember Foundation by having The King shave his iconic beard for the first time and launch the #KingstacheChallenge. Throughout November, The King drove engagement with a series of Kingstache looks.

Campaign Launch Content

We launched with a digital video revealing The King’s clean-shaven face. To sustain momentum, I created GIF cutdowns and stills of different Kingstache looks, encouraging people to grow their own and support the #KingstacheChallenge. Director: Michael Litwak Studio: Yacht Club. ACD Writer: Mike Latshaw CD: Gino Carolini.

Mustache Designs

To bring the “Kingstache” idea to life, I created mustache concepts inspired by Burger King products, sketched six designs, and handed them off for 3D printing ahead of the shoot.
