2019 Winner

Tim Hortons

Smile Cookie

Zulu Alpha Kilo

SilverPR - Influencer/Talent Marketing

Tim Hortons’ smile cookies have been raising money for local charities for decades. But the program needed new audiences. So the QSR made a mouse-eared cookie and tweeted it to deadmau5, the world-famous Canadian-born DJ who loves Timmies. When he retweeted it, Zulu jumped into action. In 24 hours, they sent a batch of custom cookies straight to his house where the DJ showed them off to his six million followers on social. Engagement was up 536% year-over-year, and the program raised a record-breaking $7.8 million.
