SUMMARY
Doritos fights to maintain relevance and grow its share in a category driven by "newness." This case demonstrates the power of bringing audiences back in time to move the brand forward. Doritos has deep ties with the '80s, and Stranger Things is an ode to those years. Our partnership needed to excite people today while being true to our shared heritage. This is the story of how turning Doritos bags into the ticket for a 1986 music festival in the Upside Down became the ticket to increasing sales and share.
