The Challenge
When DiGiorno teamed up with Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine for a special line of limited-edition pizzas, they knew they had a golden opportunity to connect with millions of movie fans ready to feast on anything connected to the franchise.
But excitement alone doesn’t equal engagement. DiGiorno wanted to go beyond awareness and social buzz to drive measurable consumer action:
- Capture first-party data for future marketing
- Encourage product purchase and receipt uploads
- And give fans a reason to connect DiGiorno with the Deadpool & Wolverine universe in a fun, memorable way.
That’s where Brandmovers came in, serving not just as a technology partner, but as a full-service strategic promotions team ready to bring the idea to life.

The Solution: The DiGiorno Chaotic Good 'Stakes
Working closely with DiGiorno’s brand team, Brandmovers concepted and executed the DiGiorno Chaotic Good 'Stakes: a two-month, movie-fueled sweepstakes campaign designed to transform fandom into data, and data into actionable insight.
At the center of the promotion was an interactive microsite that captured attention from the first click. Fans could:
- Learn about DiGiorno’s limited-edition Deadpool & Wolverine pizza flavors
- Register to enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win blockbuster prizes
- Upload receipts for up to five additional entries, rewarding verified purchases
The sweepstakes’ grand prize was the ultimate fan trip to Los Angeles — including a private screening of Deadpool & Wolverine, a stunt masterclass, a guided Hollywood hike, and other one-of-a-kind experiences straight from the Marvel universe. Additional winners scored exclusive DiGiorno x Deadpool & Wolverine merch (oven mitts, aprons, and pizza cutters), and Fandango movie tickets to see the film in theaters.
Every entry and receipt upload delivered new insights for DiGiorno, helping the brand understand who their pizza fans were, where they shop, and how often they buy.
Behind the scenes, Brandmovers’ technology handled every piece of the experience — data capture, receipt validation, winner selection, and prize fulfillment — ensuring a smooth, secure, and scalable execution from start to finish.
The Results: A Hero-Worthy Sweepstakes
The Chaotic Good ‘Stakes showed how a well-executed, fandom-fueled promotion can deliver more than just buzz. By pairing cultural relevance with smart engagement mechanics, DiGiorno achieved measurable outcomes that will power ongoing marketing and loyalty efforts.
For Brandmovers, it was another proof point of how our strategic creativity, flexible technology, and end-to-end execution help CPG brands turn moments of attention into moments of action.
Because in today’s marketing world, even a little chaos can be a good thing when it’s built with purpose.
Key Takeaways for CPG Marketers
