Flashbulb memories. Ever heard of it? It’s when you remember a distinct moment in time of something that had great meaning for you – and it can only happen if you feel an incredible sense of personal or cultural connection to the event that results in a strong emotional reaction. The first date with your spouse. Graduating high school. Finishing a marathon.

Or – finding out Pizza Hut won the GOLD Brandon Hall Award for its Life Unboxed culture campaign.

Yes, that’s right – Pizza Hut is both humbled and incredibly proud to have won this distinguished award from a renowned organization that recognizes excellence in talent and culture. Because this award celebrates you. It celebrates a culture created by team members who are second to none. And it celebrates how the culture is lived out every day – by becoming your best. Making friends. And having fun. And by delivering food you’re proud to serve – with a smile and FAST – to millions of customers across the nation. The team here at the Pizza Hut headquarters may have created the Life Unboxed campaign – but the reason it is so powerful is because it is authentic to the way team members, like yourself, approach life at Pizza Hut every day.

YOU have created flashbulb memories for so many. And we want to celebrate a few!
