Your brand inside a real fortune cookie, at restaurants everywhere.
Your line, your brand and your code — printed on the slip inside, at restaurants everywhere.
The unit
It arrives with the check, as part of the meal.
An ordinary fortune cookie from the outside. Inside is the slip: your line, your brand and the lucky numbers, printed to your brief.
Illustrative exampleWhy it works
Out-of-home, at the smallest possible scale.
Advertising that shares physical space with people cannot be blocked, skipped or scrolled past. This is that idea, shrunk to fit in a hand.
- 01
It arrives as part of the meal
The cookie comes with the check the way it always has. Your message is inside something the restaurant is already handing over, rather than an interruption bought against someone’s attention.
- 02
It lands at the calmest point of the evening
The end of a meal is unhurried in a way almost no other advertising moment is. Nothing else is bidding for the table at that point.
- 03
It reaches a table, not a screen
A cookie goes to each person present, so a brand can arrive with a group in the same moment rather than one device at a time.
- 04
It is a physical thing, not an impression
The slip is small enough to pocket and leaves the restaurant with whoever takes it. It does not disappear when a feed refreshes.
What you get
Six ways to put a brand inside a fortune cookie.
Mix them, or start with the fortune and nothing else.
-
Eleven words on the slip
The line inside the cookie, written with you or by you. Eleven words is the whole creative brief — short enough to take in at a glance, long enough to carry a voice.

Lucky numbers that actually do something
Every fortune carries its six numbers. They can be a discount code, a draw entry or a store number instead of decoration.
See the formats -
A prize on the back of the slip
A QR or promo code on the reverse, so the fortune has something to redeem and you have something to measure.

City, cuisine, daypart
Choose where the cookies land: a neighbourhood, a cuisine, a dinner rush, a single street. Placement is a media buy, not a mailing list.
See the formats -
Limited runs for a moment
Short, dated runs built around a launch, a holiday, a fixture, a Lunar New Year service. Scarcity the table can feel.

Two brands, two sides
The slip has a front and a back. A line each, or a line and a code — a natural format for a collaboration where both sides get their own surface.
