Gen-Z, Millennial Opps: Dunkin' shifts strategy under new CMO (Score 79)
- Nelson is focused on balancing performance and brand marketing.
- She's working to make Dunkin's strategy "more outwardly confident," reportedly.
- This effort includes a partnership with Ben Affleck, which officially kicked off around this year's Super Bowl.
- Dunkin' launched a follow-up ad a couple of weeks ago.
- Working with Affleck gives Dunkin' a chance to reach younger audiences since it nods to pop culture and memes.
- Indeed, Nelson mentioned a desire to reach "next-generation" consumers who are just starting to drink coffee and could make Dunkin' coffee part of their daily routines.
- To reach this relatively young audience, the company has shifted some spend toward paid social via platforms such as TikTok.
- Nelson said that leadership is "happy with how the [Affleck] ads performed," so Dunkin' will likely continue rolling out work with Affleck and seek similar influencer opportunities.
- Right now, Dunkin' is primarily promoting its core breakfast items, newly revamped rewards program, and limited-time offers, per Nelson.
- Since its launch on October 6, right after Nelson's , Dunkin's rewards program has gained 4m new members.
- The company's top-selling product is its customizable iced coffee, followed by hot coffee, hash browns, doughnuts, and iced espresso/cold brew.
- It is also pushing more targeted audience efforts and bolstering performance and "one-on-one" marketing.
- Upcoming creative will likely promote Dunkin's new product that makes both hot and cold beverages in seconds.
- This effort includes a partnership with Ben Affleck, which officially kicked off around this year's Super Bowl.
- The company will likely:
- Continue shifting strategy
- Pursue additional influencer partnerships
- Return to higher digital spend
- Conduct agency reviews

- Gen-Z and millennials
- Its TV commercials target both English- and Spanish-speaking consumers
