Panda Express
Celebrating Asian-American Originals

The folks at Panda are all about lifting people up and sharing their good fortune. So when Asian Pacific American Heritage Month rolled around, we wanted to send a message of support and encouragement. We created a digital and social campaign around a simple idea:

We are not defined by just one thing. But by many things.

We are a combination of talents and traits that transcend any and all stereotypes.

And thus, the “Hyphens Unite Us” campaign was born.

Our Originals

First, we created a series of social posts and stories that tapped into the rich and varied experiences of iconic Asian-American Originals.

One-of-a-kind

Sponsored and organic posts highlighted the diversity of what it means to be an Asian-American Original.

The Campaign United Dozens of Originals

Hyphen art was created for over two dozen micro-influencers.

Fans Found More Inspiration
on Our Landing Page

The stories drove to a campaign landing page, where fans learned more about Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and watched exclusive, behind-the-scenes interviews of our featured talent.

Results

Panda fans far and wide connected and engaged with our message.

Over 230 million people, in fact. Almost double the impressions of the previous year’s campaign. And best of all, 85% of those impressions were organic, showing just how resonant this idea was.
