Five Guys is proposing a digital marketing campaign called "#OneOfTheGuys" on Twitter to increase customer engagement and store visits. The campaign would involve posting secret discount codes on Twitter weekly that customers could say in-store to receive benefits. It would also redesign the Five Guys app and increase their social media presence. The estimated budget is $10.36 million and would result in a $3.14 million revenue gain through higher sales.
