Case

Eat Mor Chikin

Since 1995 Chick‑fil‑A has deployed humorous billboards featuring cows holding misspelled signs like “Eat Mor Chikin.” The cows literally climb on, sleep over, or paint messages on 3‑D boards to persuade drivers to choose chicken over beef. Over 1 500 billboards nationwide have used custom‑made cow figures; the campaign helped sales grow from about $500 million in 1995 to $10 billion by 2022.
