About the Work
To kick off Season 4 of Netflix’s Stranger Things, Domino’s launched a first-of-its-kind app for users to order pizza in a way they’ve never done before. However, this was not your average ‘slap two logos together’ brand partnership; the deeply integrated collaboration successfully merged the two iconic brands around a “strange” innovation.
The Domino’s Mind Ordering App cleverly hacked the integral features of mobile by using facial recognition and eye-tracking technology to allow test subjects to seemingly order pizza with their mind. Users’ facial expressions and head movements were registered via the device’s camera, resulting in a seamless ordering experience that mimicked the telekinetic powers of character Eleven in Stranger Things. The experience also immersed users in virtual locations from the show including the Hawkins Lab, where they could interact with 3D objects before placing their Mind Order.
With over 330K app downloads, Domino’s were able to leverage what would become the most watched English-language series in Netflix history to reach an entirely new audience, flexing the brand’s commitment to effortlessly magical ordering and a best-in-class customer experience.
