1. “Will Delive-roo be my Valentine” campaign in Singapore
Food delivery company Deliveroo has partnered with KFC again for a Valentine’s Day campaign in Singapore. Called “Will Delive-Roo Be My Valentine“, the campaign allows consumers to surprise their date with a limited-edition KFC bucket ring.
A Deliveroo spokesperson said the campaign and ring idea was conceptualised by Deliveroo’s PR agency AKA Asia. The handmade ring was designed and made by Geraldine Cassandra Tan from local jewellery brand Gemnesis. Targeting foodies and fans of both Deliveroo and KFC, the consumers will have to pre-order the Valentine’s Day combo a day in advance to have the meal and ring delivered on 14 February.

3. Tinder partners Deliveroo for Valentine’s matchmaking service | Profiles of local singles will be printed on food deliveries
Tinder has partnered with Deliveroo for a Valentine’s dating service that prints the profiles of local single people on food deliveries. The initiative comes after Tinder reported an 84% increase year on year in user bios featuring the word “takeaway”.
When ordering from one of five Wingstop restaurants on Deliveroo, customers will be able to opt-in to the “DeliverDate” service, meaning their delivery will arrive with QR codes for Tinder profiles of six people printed on the box. One thousand profile boxes will be available on orders from Wingstop restaurants in the London areas of Battersea, Kentish Town, Gloucester Road and Croydon, as well as in Birmingham, on 13 and 14 February. Thirty singles are being featured across the whole campaign.

4. Bud Light Created a Valentine’s Day Beer Gift Box That Holds 12 Cans
Kind of simple but why not a heart-shaped food box? Roses are red Bud Light is Blue…. Ahead of Valentine’s Day, Bud Light created a heart-shaped beer gift box that’s gender-neutral and serves as an invitation to share a beer (or two.) The Bud Light Valentine’s Day Box is outfitted to hold 12 cold cans of Bud Light, which must be purchased separately. Perfect as a last-minute gift to accompany dinner and a movie at home, the box can be purchased online with ease.
5. Ikea’s Provocative Valentine’s Day
So simple, but we think restaurants can do much better in their Instagram of TikTok with food! This year, Ikea is advertising their chairs, in either a way that suggests it is about more than chairs, or it’s just an innocent yet ill thought way of stacking furniture. Either way, the advertisement showcases the essence of Ikea well; minimalistic yet innovative.
6. Vodafone Calls Just to Say They Love You
This year Vodafone makes good use of it’s already existing brand colour and of existing lyrics to create a humourful ad to tell someone you love them.
