McDonald’s targets ‘inner child’ with giant playground
McDonald’s has taken over the forecourt of Customs House at Sydney’s Circular Quay, with office workers this morning met with the sight of an adult-sized playground constructed as part of the filming of the burger chain’s latest TV commercial.
The McDonald’s Playland is double the size of those normally found in its restaurants in Australia.
Aimed at office workers and tourists, McDonald’s said it will aim to “bring fun back to adults in the city”.
Great marketing as usual – McDonalds are brilliant at this but still doesn’t make me want to buy their food.
Thanks for your comment, Shayna.
Mind you, it would probably be fairest to wait until we’ve seen the ad.
Cheers,

If it showed an obese child climbing out of the adult, it would be a wee bit more accurate.

Sumo Salad have already done the obese kid climbing out of the adult.

I love McDonalds, anyone who doesn’t like the food is usually a communist or a liar.
Agree with aktif… who hasn’t sat in a 24hrs Macca’s at 4am in the morning? Give me a Big Mac anyday over a dodgy lamb kebab especially at that time of the day
Cool – executive playlunch is totally the next big HR trend.
They should of launched McFancy here http://www.thecoolhunter.com.a.....ess-agency
an obsease child climping out? really?
The add to me looks like they are promoting their healthy choices menu. Yohgurt and Salad roll is what i see.
Nobody forces parents to feed their kids junk food, they have options, even at mcdonalds.
Great, are they going to tour the playland around the country?
Fed Square next please!
Shame the general public couldn’t have a slide, jump or swing…
I saw it this morning and agree that DDB has done a genius job. It was really weird walking around an adult sized playground – utterly like the child version but really really big. I hope it tours as well.
Seriously cool idea. Inner child was a great strategic thought. This however makes it so much more fun. Congratulations DDB. I hope you bring it to Melbourne. Please!
it looked like it might have been fun, but I got chased away just for checking whether or not I could play.. 🙁 they must have known it wouldn’t make my buy their product….

Lets hope everyone plays nice.
