SUMMARY
A small fish in a very big pond, Jack in the Box is a regional player with a fraction of the units and a tiny percentage of the big guys' media spending. In order to launch their new big burger, the Sirloin Burger, they sought to de-position the competitors' big burgers by making light of their quality cue " Angus" and pointing out that it's one letter away from sounding like, well, something else. It was a judo move that both increased the power of the Sirloin message and de-positioned the competition's Angus messages, powering Jack in the Box to their best sales year ever.
