As part of this new advertising campaign, Dunkin' Donuts has introduced a new hashtag for fans, #mydunkin. The brand is encouraging people to use #mydunkin across social media channels to share ways Dunkin' Donuts coffee keeps them running through their day. The #mydunkin hashtag will be featured throughout the campaign, which over the coming months will ultimately be fully integrated across all media platforms, including television, radio, out-of-home, mobile, social, online, as well as in-store to engage guests in as many ways as possible.

According to John Costello, Dunkin' Brands' President of Global Marketing and Innovation, the new #mydunkin campaign showcases the brand's coffee leadership and excellence in a uniquely personal way. "Every day our guests share through social media the many ways Dunkin' Donuts coffee makes a difference in their daily lives. We believe one of the best ways to demonstrate this passion is by giving our fans the opportunity to share their enthusiasm through their own words and stories," he said. "We are excited to put our guests in the spotlight by tapping into the social conversation through #mydunkin and using social media content as an advertising platform in such an organic and unprecedented way."

 "The #mydunkin campaign continues the evolution of America Runs on Dunkin', with people sharing their unique, personal stories around how and why they are drinking Dunkin' Donuts coffee," said Chris D'Amico, Group Creative Director at Boston-based Hill Holliday, which created the campaign. "We are celebrating Dunkin' Donuts guests and the brand's breadth of coffee leadership in an authentic, genuine way that reflects the changing media environment while driving deeper engagement between the brand and its loyal fans."
