MediaPost Highlights Acadia’s Collaboration with Perkins to Serve Up Screen-Free Fun

Acadia and Perkins Restaurant and Bakery have partnered to create a custom, menu-inspired Mahjong set designed to encourage screen-free, face-to-face interaction among younger demographics. Featured in MediaPost, the experiential campaign features bespoke tiles designed by an independent artist, supported by a comprehensive omnichannel marketing strategy and a consumer sweepstakes.

Highlights

  • Screen-Free Connection: Perkins is targeting Gen Z and millennials who are trading screen time for tactile, face-to-face dining entertainment.
  • Custom Artisan Design: The bespoke Mahjong tiles, created by an independent Etsy artist, feature classic Perkins menu items like pancakes, bacon, pie, and coffee.
  • Omnichannel Campaign: Acadia is driving the launch through social media, digital promotions, in-store events, and a dedicated microsite where fans can win their own set.
  • Community Heritage: The initiative reinforces Perkins' legacy as a gathering place by bringing a fresh, brand-specific twist to a game experiencing a modern resurgence.
