Ray Warren comes out of retirement to voice Macca’s campaign

Legendary rugby league commentator Ray Warren has come out of retirement to commentate a new Macca’s campaign, created by DDB Sydney, which celebrates the restaurant as the place to visit pre-and post-game.

The campaign is voiced by Warren, and features some of the game’s biggest names past and present, including Wally Lewis, Ricky Stuart, Mitch Moses, Kezie Apps, Reuben Cotter, Jai Arrow, and Sam Thaiday.

It also features the below shot, which immediately goes into the advertising hall of fame.

“We know how much our customers love footy, and we are proud to provide a place for fans to meet before or after a game,” said McDonald’s director of marketing, Amanda Nakad about the campaign.

“Win or lose, we’ll always be there for fans and this campaign is the perfect expression of that.”

DDB Executive creative director, Matt Chandler, said: “It’s amazing the people who show up at Macca’s after the game. In this latest spot, Wally, Ricky, Ronald, and a proper dream team of league legends do a great job of helping Macca’s further build its connection with Aussie footy fans.”

The campaign features across broadcast TV, online video, out-of-home, paid social, digital, and in-stadium.
