McDonald’s has launched a promotion aimed at enticing customers to upload videos describing the ingredients of a Big Mac.
Winners of the competition – to come up with the most original chant of the phrase “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun” – win a holiday for seven people.
Consumers are being asked to vote on the best videos in exchange for Big Mac vouchers.
The campaign – supported through point of sale material in McDonald’s stores – has been created by DDB NZ with production done in Australia. The campaign is the second major McDonald’s promotion used in Australia which originated from roster agency DDB’s NZ team, which was also behind this year’s push involving people whose name was Chicken.
The promotion is also the second time in recent weeks that McDonald’s has used a TV ad featuring the illusion of somebody being upside down. The same technique was used in its promotion – repurposed from the US – for free Coca-Cola glasses.
It is a rehash of the campaign first started in the 1990s where consumers were asked to say the phrase in return for a Big Mac. It has since been brought back periodically for short run campaigns.
