And Kate, when I've been having conversations about audio and creativity across the course of this podcast, we talk about jingles, and every single time, the Pizza Hut 90s jingle comes up, and this new work introduces Is it, is it a new piece of sonic identity at the very end, which is really distinctive and kind of hearkens back to that, but feels new and fresh? Why did this feel like important work to also show up in, in a, in an oral sound way?

11:39
And so the level of distinctiveness that's required to make sure we're not doing a category job, we're doing a brand job.
11:44
It was, you know, I kind of went and looked at the grid of like, what's the most distinctive brand assets and how do we make sure that we're building assets that are really clearly of and can be clearly connected to Pizza Hut.
