Burger King: The art of the hijack

McDonald’s recently opened a new store in Firminy, France. Like any savvy competitor, Burger King took notice and saw the perfect opportunity to hijack the moment.

It’s a playful power move. Low spend. High impact. Zero chill.

And here’s the real insight: Rivals can co-exist…but they don’t have to stay quiet. In a world of carefully curated brand friendships, the boldest brands know when to stir the pot.

Stunts like this aren’t just about spend, they’re about stealing the spotlight. And in Firminy, Burger King didn’t just show up. They owned the moment.
