Event Recap
About: (From Press Release)
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Consistency is key when learning a language; that's why Duolingo doesn't spare any effort in reminding its learners to do their lessons every single day.
Unfortunately, during the holiday season when exciting plans with friends and family mean push notifications are ignored, reminder emails are left unread, and taking daily language lessons fall low down on the list of priorities. So, when the global language learning app decided to find a fun way to remind everyone to do their lessons during the holiday season, creative agency UltraSuperNew turned to one of Japan's most puzzling Christmas traditions: having a bucket of fried chicken as a Christmas Eve meal (it's so popular that supplies will sell out weeks in advance of the 24th December).
Krispy Fried Duo (KFD) is a delicious alternative to the traditional fried chicken bucket, made (supposedly) with actual parts from Duolingo's mascot owl, Duo. Making the ultimate sacrifice, Duo volunteered his tastiest and greenest pieces, had them chopped, deep-fried, and placed inside a KFD (Krispy Fried Duo) bucket, and offered them to those exemplary learners that completed their lessons even on Christmas Eve.
The campaign started as an influencer-led push in the week leading up to December 24th. TikTok and X posts showed a series of entertaining content launching Duo's lightbulb moment in offering Krispy Fried Duo to those in need of fried delights.
