Circle K is teaming up with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and tcc Global on a 360-degree DC HeroBadges campaign online and in stores across the United States. Circle K is offering 24 limited-edition DC HeroBadges with every $10 purchase, including fuel. The licensed decals—washable and collectible textured stickers in the image of popular DC Superheroes and Super-Villains—are available at participating Circle K stores nationwide through Oct. 31.
In addition to the in-store rewards, customers are encouraged to scan their HeroBadges on Win.CircleK.com to enter for a chance to win a trip to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood in California or one of the weekly DC Superhero swag prizes, including items like skateboard decks, throw blankets and more.
The journey continues on the Circle K website, where users can play DC-themed match-and-win games for a chance at in-store prizes. Additionally, licensed DC plush toys of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn are available for purchase in select stores.
“From Superman’s cape to The Joker’s mischievous grin, HeroBadges perfectly capture the essence of beloved DC characters, and we’re thrilled to give Circle K customers a way to collect and show off their favorites on their water bottles, laptops, phones and more,” said Melissa Lessard, head of North American marketing at Circle K. “This collaboration between DC and Circle K allows people of all ages to express their fandom and spread the excitement with friends and family.”
Circle K and DC are partnering with tcc Global to provide customers with a DC experience across all of Circle K’s touchpoints. tcc Global, a multinational marketing firm with long-standing relationships with both DC and Circle K, deployed a variety of resources, including strategy, design, digital gamification and rewards development, to create a unique offering for Circle K’s customers.
