Our pizza family is as hungry for perfection today as we were when we first opened our doors more than 30 years ago, and we are excited to partner with Dentsu to combine data, technology and creativity to drive business results. Now is not the time to pull back on brand investments. People are consuming more digital media than ever before and spending more time at home, and we want Papa John’s to be their choice for every occasion, be that a family gathering, memorable birthday, work celebration or simply a great meal. Dentsu will support us in better understanding our customers and ensuring that their satisfaction is consistent, quantifiable and demonstrable across the customer journey.” Ziad Ghorayeb, managing director at Isobar MENA, said: “We are extremely proud and excited to have been chosen as Papa John’s creative partner.
