Updated: Oct 30, 2018
To create awareness of its other-than-pancake items, IHOP announced a campaign that would rename the company to IHOB emphasizing "burgers".
IHOP to IHOB
IHOP changed its name to IHOB as part of marketing campaign... but why?
.
The plan to relaunch burgers at IHOP began to take shape a little over a year ago, Rebelez said, when the chain began investigating what customers wanted it to offer outside of the usual breakfast options.
.
"Almost universally, they said burgers," Darren Rebelez, IHOP President, said. "So that's when we put the team to work."
.
We’ve pancaked pancakes for 60 years now, so it’s the perfect time to start burgerin’ burgers.”
.
"We had to make a bold move to get people to be willing to talk about us for something other than breakfast food," Rebelez said.
.
IHOP marketing campaign is creative, bold, and strategically necessary. They need to attract customers for more than breakfast, and also be more competitive in a market where Burgers is a must have item.
