I’d like to let you in a little well-kept secret: the Denny’s tumblr. If you haven’t seen it, please check it out. It reads less like a major corporation and more like some fourteen year old drank a Monster and started a blog about… eggs? (Seriously, there seems to be an underlying theme of obsession with eggs here, understandably so.) What do you think of when you hear “Denny’s”? Boring old diner that your grandparents go to? That 24/7 dinner where (rumour has it) if you go at 3 am, you may fall into a Denny’s-esque Twilight Zone, never to return? Maybe you think of their wild Tumblr account, with their ridiculous and often-times questionable responses to their fan’s inquiries. Denny’s is introducing themselves to the millennials and generation Z as a much cooler, much snarkier version of the Denny’s your mom and dad know and love. Don’t believe me? Look at how integrated their tumblr has become with internet-speak. No high-fluentent wordings and proper capitalization here! No ma’am, Denny’s is changing the game when it comes to marketing a pancake diner.
