Dunkin' Donuts "Whips Up" Deal With Daytime TV Host Rachael Ray

advertisement

CANTON, Mass. (March 8, 2007) - Dunkin' Donuts, the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world, today announced that it will be working with best-selling author and host of TV's highest-rated new syndicated daytime show, Rachael Ray. As its new brand representative, Ray will appear in a multi-platform marketing campaign for Dunkin' Donuts. Ray will also lend her perspective to the Dunkin' Donuts culinary team in the development of new, "better for you" food and beverage options. In recent years, the company has introduced several new products that provide customers with additional on-the-go options, including Smoothies, Latte Lite and the reduced carb bagel; in addition, the company has been working since 2004 to remove trans-fats from all of its menu offerings.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Rachel Ray:

"Having grown up in the Northeast, I have a long-standing and deep appreciation for Dunkin' Donuts' coffee. In addition, I am excited to work with Dunkin' Donuts' team of chefs as they expand their menu to include new items for customers looking for more health-conscious options."

Do people really expect Dunkin Donuts food to be "health conscious?" And their coffee isn't even that good; can't even get an iced chai at the ones around me.

Viva la independent coffee shops!
