The Brief

To find an entertaining and exciting way for consumers to spend time with the iconic Big Mac. Offer something extra for the true fans.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

The enriched video clip offered a game experience where the treasure of a free Bic Mac could be found. The game was actually quite difficult since the prize was valuable. This generated word of mouth around the schoolyards and the legend came alive.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

The film was shown over 2 200 000 times and 9000 people found the hidden Big Mac and captured a code themselves. The solution made people spend the time with the brand and iconic Big Mac-hamburger. McDonald's Finland mobile application was downloaded 14 000 times during the campaign.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

The film is all about Big Mac and the hidden promotional prize delivered this promise for the consumer in a relevant way.
