• Dr. Angus

Dr. Angus was a CP+B creation launched in 2004 to promote the new Angus line of Sandwiches. Played by comedian Harry Enfield, the character is a smarmy self-help "doctor" with gleaming white teeth and a starched toupee who encourages eaters to "sit down" and enjoy the BK's large Angus burgers. In 2006, the character was again used to advertise BK's new Cheesy Bacon Angus and TenderCrisp sandwiches.^[3]

In addition, CP+B added a viral marketing web page The Angus Diet. Designed to work with the larger Angus campaign, this site featured the such things as the Angus diet testimonials, a faux diet book and Angus interventions. The "interventions" could be sent to people via e-mail by filling out several fields on the page. As CP+B stated: "They were a way of getting people to spread the idea of the basis of the Angus Diet - just enjoy life. Do whatever you want. Eat whatever you want as long as it makes you happy."^[4]

• The Western Barbecue Angus

In a cross promotion with the 2005 season of the Apprentice, the two teams, Magna and Net Worth, competed in a contest to design a sandwich for BK to sell. The wining product was the Net Worth team and their "Western Angus Steak Burger". As a promotional stunt, the new sandwich was introduced as a nation-wide, limited time offering the day after the episode aired. ^[5]

The Angus burger adverts featured a guy (actor: Sam Punter) asking for an angus burger in a 'FastBurger', the counter staff laughed presumably because he didn't think you could buy one in a fast food store. The news of the order reached the FastBurger headquarters during the journey up to the top (CEO) floor, the news spread and everyone associated with the fictional chain was laughing. The chairman was by now laughing after being told about the order on the phone and says "An angus burger is he crazy"?!. An assistant gave him the morning Evening Standard paper and soon started coughing as the front page story reads 'Burger King debuts The Angus'. Then the camera pulls back through the office to reveal a real Angus Burger and the announcer says "The Angus Burger, only at Burger King".
