Papa Johns & Massive Rocket Customer Story
Delivering Better Pizza with Unwavering Quality
Papa Johns isn’t just another pizza chain. For over 30 years, they’ve been a household name synonymous with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From their humble beginnings crafting pizzas in a broom closet in Jeffersonville, Indiana, to their current presence in over 5,000 locations across 44 countries, their commitment to quality has never wavered.
They believe in using only the finest ingredients to create pizzas that are better than the rest. This dedication to quality is reflected in their signature sauce, fresh dough, and variety of toppings. Papa Johns isn’t just about satisfying cravings; it’s about delivering a delicious experience that keeps their customers coming back for more.
The Opportunity
The importance of providing a truly personalised experience to pizza lovers cannot be understated – from personalised greetings to offering exclusive deals based on previous orders. Not to mention, customers appreciate when their favorite dressing or drink choices are remembered.
Papa Johns prides itself on providing a superior pizza experience, but for a while, creating a seamless customer journey wasn’t quite as easy. They faced some challenges in delivering a truly personalised experience for their pizza lovers.
Fragmented customer views, data silos, and disconnected systems can limit marketing potential, particularly for businesses such as Papa Johns operating vast networks of stores, offering diverse products, and providing intricate services such as online ordering and pizza delivery.
Lacking a clear understanding of customer preferences and behaviour makes it challenging to create personalised promotions or identify high-value customers for targeted campaigns. With the aim of delivering a truly personalised customer experience and better utilising their marketing potential, Papa Johns made the strategic decision to partner with Massive Rocket for optimising their Martech stack.
Our Approach
We employed an innovative and a structured approach to help address Papa Johns’ challenges:
Audit & Tech Stack Optimisation
Papa Johns partnered with Massive Rocket to conduct a thorough audit of their existing systems. This audit provided a clear picture of Papa Johns’ data landscape, highlighting the disconnected nature of customer information. Equipped with this knowledge, the Massive Rocket team designed a solution that would unify customer data and unlock its full potential.
Migrating to Braze & Connecting to Snowflake
With a unified data source in Snowflake, Massive Rocket enabled Papa Johns to migrate their customer engagement platform to Braze within just 3 months. Braze, powered by the comprehensive customer data from Snowflake, allowed Papa Johns to take personalised marketing to a whole new level.
Braze’s features enabled Papa Johns to identify their most valuable customers and tailor special offers and promotions specifically for them. Additionally, Braze facilitated the automation of marketing campaigns, ensuring timely and relevant communication with each customer.
Taking Customer Engagement to the Next Level
The combination of a unified data platform and a powerful customer engagement platform like Braze allowed Papa Johns to revolutionise their customer interactions. Papa Johns, armed with a deep understanding of their customers, could now craft targeted and personalised messages across various channels, including email, SMS, social media, and even WhatsApp.
This omni-channel approach ensured Papa Johns reached its customers on their preferred platforms, delivering relevant promotions and offers that resonated with their individual preferences. This shift to a data-driven customer engagement strategy strengthened customer relationships and also opened doors to maximise revenue streams across all Papa Johns’ business units.
