McDonald’s is celebrating its unique evolution in Australia with a new campaign pushing consumers to a dedicated website that tracks the fast-food chain’s story since it opened in Australia in 1971.
The animated minute long spot takes viewers on the journey of the chain’s local history, explaining McCafe is an Aussie invention and citing menu changes, such as the addition of beetroot to burgers and steak to salads, hinting “the biggest change” is yet to come.

Running online, the campaign directs consumers to a dedicated ‘McDonald’s to Macca’s: A Great Aussie Road Trip’ website which allows consumers to watch content and track the restaurant’s history in Australia.

Earlier this month McDonald’s appointed VML to handle its digital and social media account. DDB Sydney and Leo Burnett are also on the roster and handle creative, with DDB’s Tribal also responsible for some elements of the digital account, including the McDonald’s website.
