Pizza Hut's Pie Tops Sneakers Are Back for March Madness
Pizza Hut is resurrecting its Pie Tops sneakers to celebrate March Madness. Chief Marketing Officer Zipporah Allen joins Cheddar to discuss the kicks' new-and-improved features. This year, the souped-up sneakers can pause live television in addition to ordering pizza pies.
Allen reveals why the restaurant chain decided to bring back the campaign for another year. She also explains why March Madness and the NCAA make for such a good fit with this promotion. Pizza Hut is the official sponsor of the NCAA, March Madness, and the Final Four.
