“I think they are making fun of the Colonel”

-KENTUCKY GOVERNOR, JOHN BROWN-

“The Hall of Colonels”
The campaign launch included a historically accurate web museum, complete with an autobiographical video game about the man himself, Harland Sanders.

In 2015, I co-created the rotating Colonels campaign that brought Colonel Sanders back to life
and brought KFC back into popular culture.

Below is a sampling of some of the work from the launch.

KFC: The Colonel Returns

“Colonel Quest”
The Hall of Colonels was home to a ridiculous 8-bit video game about the Colonel’s life and rise to chicken fame.

The game was sent to influencers in a custom ‘Colonel Quest’ bucket that included fully-functioning drumstick controllers.
